Subject: Great presentation!
Hi Jon
I'm just writing to say well done on your presentation this morning. It was not an easy task and I'm glad it went well.
You were well prepared. The content was relevant and easy to follow. You also thought about the questions people would have. I think they were impressed! I'm sure everyone feels happier about the new system now.
If you have time, please could you listen to my presentation for next week?
See you later
Sue

Yes of course, I often congratulate my colleagues when they have given their achievement in their life as work, business, family… Or sometime it’s just sample their birthday.
Yes of course
I try to use Feedback frameworks
- which was good
- what can be improved
Sure, I've always praise and congratulation my colleagues. Using "colleague" is a little far and for adults because we're just students. It maybe that my friends complete a presentation or he takes an exam well,... I'll come to them and congratulation as fun as my birthday. I'm not a two faces people and really not a liar for benefit. Only I was just happier and I thought they 'll be more respect for their achievement!

Yes, I do. I congratulate my colleagues when they do a good job on their presentations or when they get a promotion. I am happy for them.
