And i need some help with a sentence.

KyleGoetz is correct. You do
not use 「おとうさん」 to refer to your father in a presentation or any kind of public speaking. If you do, you will sound like an 8-year-old kid. The kanji in Kylegoetz' post is read ちち. For "mother", it is 母（はは）.
Holding or pointing your finger to a photo, you can say:
「こちらがちちのしゃしんです。」
「これがちちのしゃしんです。」
Or simply,
「これがちちです。」
Native speakers would NOT use 「わたし」 in saying this becasue everyone knows whose father you are talking about. If you are required to use it by your teacher, then you are required. I just want you to know how Japanese is spoken by us native speakers.

Can you correct your 「こんにしは」? It is too basic a phrase for me to correct.
Same thing with 「わたし」. Your audience know who you are talking about.
「きょうはスタジオジブリについておはなしします。」
Do not use 「はなしています」as suggested by SianaRei.
