Fluency&presenting yourself

Our workshop started with a 2minute talk of everyone about a topic which we didn't know before. My topic was "music" and I had to talk about it spontaneously and free. It was a good way to open the theme of our workshop but then it became really theoretic which was a great pity because we all have to learn speaking free and fluently but we won't learn by listening to some presentations. I would have preferred more talks&presentations on our own. It was boring to listen to the presentation which was about things we already knew.

The second part of the workshop was really good, helpful and interesting. We had to prepare a presentation about different newspaper articles and I think this is something what improves our skills as speakers.
