english presentation

Assalamualaikum

good morning to all my friens.. :p

i would like to present for all u about these 8 tips will help you plan a perfect presentation

At some time or other, most of us will have to give a presentation. The idea of speaking in public can be frightening enough if you're a native English speaker, but it's even more so if English is your 2nd language.

Know your audience

to give an effective presentation, u need to know something about your audience.How good is their English? how much do they know about the subject of your talk? why will they be interested in listening to you? its a good idea to find out who is attending your presentation so that you can make information relevant and interesting to them.

Use a strong opening statement or question to interest your audience

The 1st minute of your presentation is crucial. In this time you should interest your audience and give them a reason to listen to you. What you say in the first minute depends on your audience and their interest, but it must mean something important to them. Perhaps it is a problem that you know how to solve, or a fact or statistic that they need to know

Don't forget the physical details

You'll need to make sure the room is big enough for thw number of people attending and that you have all the equipment you need. Find out when you are giving your presentation, your audience may be less attentive if its right before lunch or at the end of the week and you'll need to make especially sure that the presentation is interesting if it's at a difficult time.

Plan the content of your presentation

Planning helps you focus on your presentation goals, and minimises the chances of anything going wrong. If you know who you are talking to and why you are talking to them, you can put yourself in your audience's position. You can decide what information to include and how to order it. Aim to speak for no longer than 30 minutes, and leave time for questions and answer at teh end. Remember that it's difficult to absorb lots of new information, so don't aim to include too much.

Many presentations are divided into 5 areas:

a) The introduction (get someone else to introduce you to the audience. This gives you credibility as a speaker and means that you don't have to waste time telling people who you are and why you are there)

b) The overview

c) The main body of the presentation

d) Your summary

e) A question and answer session

make brief notes about all the points you want to make in your presentation and make a plan. Organize your

presentation into main points and supporting evidence. During the presentation, remember that it is a good idea to refer back to your opening statement and remind your audience why they are listening to you.

Use index card

Put your points on individual index cards to helps you during the presentation. If you put the key words onto cards, you can refer to them at any time if you forget where you are in the presentation.

Keep visuals simple

Don't put too much information in visuals and only use them to illustrate information that would otherwise take too long explain

Practice makes perfect

Practise your presentation as often as you can using your index cards. By practising, you'll know how long it will take and where the difficult areas are in your talk. The more you practise, the more confident you will feel

Prepare question and answers

you're likely to have question at the end of your presentation, so try to think of some in advance, as well as possible answers. The more you prepare these, the better you'll feel able to deal with them.
