Лекция: Rules of presentations
To make your presentations well-organized, accurate and professional, you should follow some rules:
· Start by introducing yourself and your subject. Outline the different sections of your presentation.
· When you finish a section, summarize it. Make it clear that you are moving on to a new section.
· Use diagrams where possible. You can show these on handouts or on slides. Refer to them in the presentation using phrases such as «As you can see in the diagram…»
· At the end, tell the audience you're finished and invite them to ask questions.
· Don't read your presentation from your notes. You need to maintain eye contact with the audience.
· Prepare and practice with your co-workers! Make helpful suggestions to each other before the big day!
