9、cide exactly what you want to say. first, you should brainstorm your ideas. you will no doubt discover many ideas that you want to include in your presentation. but you must be selective. you should include only information that is relevant to your audience and your objective. you should exclude all

10、 other ideas. you also need to create a title for your presentation (if you have not already been given a title). the title will help you to focus on the subject. and you will prepare your visual aids, if you have decided to use them. but remember, in general, less is better than more (a little is b

11、etter than a lot). you can always give additional information during the questions after the presentation.structurea well organised presentation with a clear structure is easier for the audience to follow. it is therefore more effective. you should organise the points you wish to make in a logical o

14、ant to deliver that you do not need to read a text. reading a text is boring! reading a text will make your audience go to sleep! so if you dont have a text to read, how can you remember to say everything you need to say? with notes. you can create your own system of notes. some people make notes on

15、 small, a6 cards. some people write down just the title of each section of their talk. some people write down keys to remind them. the notes will give you confidence, but because you will have prepared your presentation fully, you may not even need them!rehearsalrehearsal is a vital part of preparat

16、ion. you should leave time to practise your presentation two or three times. this will have the following benefits:you will bee more familiar with what you want to say you will identify weaknesses in your presentation you will be able to practise difficult pronunciations you will be able to check th

18、n the right order? do you know who the audience is? how many people? how will you answer difficult questions? do you know the room? are you confident about the equipment? when you have answered all these questions, you will be a confident, enthusiastic presenter ready to municate the subject of your

20、it has several advantages over the 35mm slide projector: it can be used in daylight the user can face the audience the user can write or draw directly on the transparency while in use the whiteboard (more rarely blackboard or greenboard) is a useful device for spontaneous writing - as in brainstormi

21、ng, for exle. for prepared material, the ohp might be more suitable. the duster is used for cleaning the whiteboard. it is essential that the duster be clean to start with. you may consider carrying your own duster just in case. markers are used for writing on the whiteboard (delible - you can remov

22、e the ink) or flipchart (indelible - you cannot remove the ink). they are usually available in blue, red, black and green. again, its a good idea to carry a spare set of markers in case you are given some used ones which do not write well. a good workman never blames his tools. the flipchart consist

23、s of several leaves of paper that you flip or turn over. some people prefer the flipchart to the whiteboard, but its use is limited to smaller presentations. the slide projector - which must be used in a darkened room - adds a certain drama. some slide projectors can be synchronised with audio for a

24、udio-visual (av) presentations. these projectors are typically used for larger presentations. the majority take 35mm slides or transparencies (as seen here), but projectors for 6x6cm slides are also available. transparencies are projected by an overhead projector or a slide projector onto a screen -

27、 or perform or give your presentation. delivery is a vital aspect of all presentations. delivery is at least as important as content, especially in a multi-cultural context. nervesmost speakers are a little nervous at the beginning of a presentation. so it is normal if you are nervous. the answer is

28、 to pay special attention to the beginning of your presentation. first impressions count. this is the time when you establish a rapport with your audience. during this time, try to speak slowly and calmly. you should perhaps learn your introduction by heart. after a few moments, you will relax and g

29、ain confidence.audience rapportyou need to build a warm and friendly relationship with your audience. enthusiasm is contagious. if you are enthusiastic your audience will be enthusiastic too. and be careful to establish eye contact with each member of your audience. each person should feel that you
