You may be surprised at the number of electronic "personals" that you can find on the World Wide Web. 8.Electronic newspapers and magazines. This category includes late- breaking news, weather, and sports. We’re likely to see this category leap to the top five in the next several years. 9.Job-hunting. Classified ads are in abundance, but most are for technical positions. 10.Shopping. It’s difficult to believe that this category even ranks.

- 17. A Presentation Is... A presentation is a means of communication that can be adapted to various speaking situations, such as talking to a group, addressing a meeting or briefing a team. To be effective, step-by-step preparation and the method and means of presenting the information should be carefully considered. A presentation requires you to get a message across to the listeners and will often contain a 'persuasive' element.
- 18. Presentation Skills Presentation skills are the skills you need in delivering effective and engaging presentations to a variety of audiences. These skills cover a variety of areas such as the structure of your presentation, the design of your slides, the tone of your voice and the body language you convey.
- 19. Ask yourself the following questions to develop a full understanding of the context of the presentation. • When and where will you deliver your presentation? • There is a world of difference between a small room with natural light and an informal setting, and a huge lecture room, lit with stage lights. The two require quite different presentations, and different techniques. • Will it be in a setting you are familiar with, or somewhere new? • If somewhere new, it would be worth trying to visit it in advance, or at least arriving early, to familiarise yourself with the room. • Will the presentation be within a formal or less formal setting? • A work setting will, more or less by definition, be more formal, but there are also various degrees of formality within that.
- 20. Will the presentation be to a small group or a large crowd? Are you already familiar with the audience? With a new audience, you will have to build rapport quickly and effectively, to get them on your side. What equipment and technology will be available to you, and what will you be expected to use? In particular, you will need to ask about microphones and whether you will be expected to stand in one place, or move around. What is the audience expecting to learn from you and your presentation?
