Making presentation

Making presentation

I. To make your oral presentation clear and easy to understand you must remember that:

1. Oral presentation is not an oral report read aloud.
2. Oral presentation can not be delivered as a written report. You should speak more slowly.
3. Before introducing new information give the listener time to anticipate what kind of information is coming next.
4. Make a list of the most important and arrange them logically.
5. Make a list of minor but interesting points.
6. Arrange the information in logical sequence.
7. Use the links between the points (the issues), the beginning and the end.
