Thanks for all the encouragements, Stitchawl, aceflor and L&G, I think I delivered my part of speech pretty well (that was what my friends said, too) but (why is there always a "but"??) the prof didn't agree with our pov and strongly objected to our outline. Well... let's just say that we don't usually have a chance to speak to 200 people in 45 mins without being disagreed with

Good opportunity to practice, though!

I was pretty confident on the content (and still am, no matter what the prof said). I was nervous about public speaking... The last time I stammered quite a bit, but today I was as cool as a cucumber!!
