Oral Presentation: Using Jargon!

Last week we had to present in front of our class and perform a situation created by us where jargon was used. The idea was to show that regular people can't understand jargon at all. I worked with Mr. Macchiavello and Mr Oporto, and we decided to show an interview made after a warterpolo match. It was  supposed that their team had lost the national finals of waterpolo, and I had to interview them for the T.V.

By using words as drivers, wings, two-three, center forward, two four, and others, it seemed that our classmates couldn't understand what the waterpolo players were trying to say. Also, we had a great time watching others presentations, identifying their jargons and laughing about funny situations.

In my opinion, working in oral activities (including debates) is really good to understand the topics we are learning. I think the best way to learn is by the experience, specially if it's about something as common as language.
