This is the plan for the one of the first individual lessons. As i remember the lesson went well. I managed to achieve all the aims. My voice was good, I spoke quite loud and I did not get any negative remarks. We did all the activities  which were supposed to be done. Moreover, I did not have any problems with classroom management. The atmosphere was pleasant and friendly. The students were silent and seemed interested in the topic. Talking about my presentation technigues so I think, I presented the topic in a good way, I made a kind of a warm up activity. After that i was clear while explaining the tasks.  All the students knew what they had to do. I was glad that these students were eager to ask questions. The last thing i would like to mention here is that I ended the lesson successfully. I summarised the lesson by asking particular questions, I set the homework and said goodbye to my students.
