• 8.
  INTRODUCTION  Capture yourlisteners’ attention: Begin with a question, a funny story, a startling comment, or anything that will make them think.  State your purpose; for example: ‘I’m going to talk about...’ ‘This morning I want to explain…’  Present an outline of your talk; for example: ‘I will concentrate on the following points: First of all…Then… This will lead to… And finally…’
• 9.
  THE BODY  Presentyour main points one by one in logical order.  Pause at the end of each point (give people time to think about what you are saying).  Make it absolutely clear when you move to another point. For example: ‘The next point is that ...’ ‘OK, now I am going to talk about ...’ ‘Right. Now I'd like to explain ... ’ ‘Of course, we must not forget that ...’ ‘However, it's important to realise that...’  Use clear examples to illustrate your points.
• 10.
  THE CONCLUSION  Itis very important to leave your audience with a clear summary of everything you have covered.  Summarise the main points again, using phrases like: ‘To sum up...’ ‘So, in conclusion...’ ‘OK, to recap the main points…’  Restate the purpose of your talk, and say that you have achieved your aim: ‘I think you can now see that...’ ‘My intention was ..., and it should now be clear that ...’  Thank the audience, and invite questions: ‘Thank you. Are there any questions?’

  DELIVERING YOUR PRESENTATION  Talkto your audience, don't read to them!  A presentation is not the same as an essay. If you read out your presentation as if it were an essay, your audience will probably understand very little and will lose concentration quickly.  Use cue cards and speak to the audience. Include everyone by looking at them and maintaining eye-contact

  DELIVERING YOUR PRESENTATION … Keep it simple. The aim is to communicate.  Emphasise the key points.  Check the pronunciation of difficult, unusual, or foreign words beforehand  Use your voice to communicate clearly.
• 13.
  DELIVERING YOUR PRESENTATION … Speak loudly enough for everyone in the room to hear you.  Speak slowly and clearly. Don’t rush! Speaking fast doesn’t make you seem smarter, it will only make it harder for other people to understand you.  Key words are important. Speak them out slowly and loudly.
• 14.
  DELIVERING YOUR PRESENTATION … Vary your voice quality. If you always use the same volume and pitch (for example, all loud, or all soft, or in a monotone) your audience will switch off.  Slow down for key points.  Use pauses—don't be afraid of short periods of silence. (They give you a chance to gather your thoughts, and your audience a chance to think.)  Use your body to communicate, too!
• 15.
  DELIVERING YOUR PRESENTATION … Stand straight and comfortably. Do not slouch or shuffle about.  Hold your head up. Look around and make eye-contact with people in the audience.  Don't turn your back on the audience!  Interact with the audience.
• 16.
  DELIVERING YOUR PRESENTATION … Be open to questions. Questions are good. They show that the audience is listening with interest. They should not be regarded as an attack on you, but as a collaborative search for deeper understanding.

  DEALING WITH NERVOUSNESS Thefirst few times you make a presentation, you will be nervous. Here are some things to consider:  Smile! Your audience will react warmly to you if you smile and at least look relaxed.  Breathe deeply. It will calm you down and help to control the slight shaking that you might get in your hands and your voice.
• 18.
  DEALING WITH NERVOUSNESS Be well-prepared. Practice giving your talk.  Be organised. If you are well organised, your task will be easier.  Slow down! When people are nervous, they tend to get confused easily. So your mind may start to race, and you may feel panicky. Make use of pauses: force yourself to stop at the end of a sentence, take a breath, and think before you continue.
• 19.
  DEALING WITH NERVOUSNESS Giving an presentation is a performance—you have to be like an actor. If you act the part of someone enjoying themselves and feeling confident, you will not only communicate these positive feelings to the audience, you will feel much better, too.
