Another main goal I set was to get better at presenting and public speaking confidence. I did get meaningful and constructive feedback from Professor Blackstone and my classmates that made me realise how I performed from their point of view which I think is a very effective way of learning. The points I can take away from the feedback are that I need to improve mainly on my structure and formality of writing my report and as for presenting and public speaking skills would be that I may have a monotonous voice, I tend to use filler words when I am nervous, and I also want to work on improving my language use. I feel by the end of the trimester I improved not significantly but enough to the point where I can notice the improvements myself.

Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) - Summary Reader Response Draft 4

In today's era of increasing environmental awareness and the need for sustainable transportation solutions, Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems (KERS) emerge as a pivotal innovation, offering a promising avenue for balancing performance with environmental responsibility. Originally introduced in the high-speed world of Formula 1 racing in 2009, KERS represents a transformative leap forward in vehicle technology, fundamentally altering the dynamics of energy usage and conservation in automotive engineering. This essay delves into the significance of KERS, its integration into mass-produced vehicles, the benefits it offers, as well as the challenges and prospects for its widespread adoption. The integration of KERS in mass-produced cars marks a significant shift in the automotive landscape, not only in terms of technological advancement but also in addressing pressing environmental concerns. At its core, KERS functions by capturing and converting kinetic energy generated during braking i...
