TASK 3. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions.

1. Have you used the PowerPoint presentation software? If yes, do you find it helpful and easy to use?

2. Are you going to give a PowerPoint presentation at an international conference? If yes, could you describe the advantages of the PowerPoint presentation?

PowerPoint presentations consist of a number of individual pages or «slides». The «slide» analogy is a reference to the slide projector, a device that has become obsolete due to the use of PowerPoint and other presentation software. Slides may contain text, graphics, movies, and other objects, which may be arranged freely on the slide. PowerPoint, however, facilitates the use of a consistent style in a presentation using a template or «Slide Master».

The presentation can be printed, displayed live on a computer, or navigated through at the command of the presenter. For larger audiences the computer display is often projected using a video projector.
