Phần 9: Ep 9: Working on a presentation

So you've already started.

Sorry, I'm a bit late.

That's all good.

I only just got here myself.

So we've been assigned the topic of Australia's education system.

Yes.

So I was thinking the first thing we should start with is the fact that education is compulsory between certain ages.

That depends on the state or territory you're in and your date of birth.

So let's maybe split it up into different sections.

So we have primary, secondary, and tertiary.

Tertiary is the one that includes universities and vocational institutions.

Primary and secondary are private and public schools.

What about school fees?

Again, I think public and private are quite different.

With a public school, if you're an Australian citizen or a permanent resident, you have the right to attend.

But there are other costs for things like books and devices and extracurricular activities.

Yeah, and for school uniforms as well.

Actually, have you had a think about how people in really, really remote locations get access to education?

Yeah, I'm glad you asked me about that, actually.

I've been reading up on it.

There's something called School of the Air.

Is that like a classroom in a plane or something?

No, Lawrence.

They use interactive technology to communicate between their teachers and classmates.

All right.

That's pretty interesting.

We probably need to include all the different subjects students can study at different levels as well.

Yes.

Wow.

That is a lot of information to fit in this presentation, isn't it?

What if we try and break it down into different PowerPoint slides?

We'll throw in a few diagrams and infographics to explain things a bit more visually.

Let's try and break down all the information into maybe four or five bullet points per slide.

Yeah, good idea.

Should we split it and do half each?

Yeah, that sounds good.

Let's also catch up again in maybe two weeks just to consolidate everything we've done.

Yeah, good idea.

And when we meet up, we can go through it all together and make sure it all flows.

But for now, let's get started on our introduction.

Yes, let's do it.
