We did our solo talks. And we learned to speak clearly to people and practice some of our eye contact. We have done so many people like Gordon Ramsay and Lewis Capaldi it was super interesting to listen  to the solo talks and super fun when they sometimes needed some volunteers. They can put it on a bit of paper, or just read it from the White boards. We did it about Italian people or Scottish people. Some people did it about people who write books or who or famous chefs or singers! It was really really fun and we learned lots about being confident, good eye contact, using our notes to help and positive body language.
