PROJECT 2

HOW TO GIVE A PRESENTATION

How to introduce yourself and your topic

How to make a strong star

Using signposting languaje

Dealing with problems

If the audience does not know you, you must introduce yourself by saying name and position

For example: Hello everyone, my name is Simon and I work in the marketing department

Introduce your topic

If the topic is simpler, you can say a simple phrase and the topic

If your topic is more complex, you can add more details, separating the topic in stages

I will begin by explaining the basic concept, followed by real examples and finally the impact that quality control has

Today, I would like to talk to you about "Quality Control"

Establish a common problem and establish that you have a solution

Mention an interesting fact, or a surprising statistic to get people´s attention

It's used to move between points, give a summary, go into more detail and signal the conclusion of an idea

Make a reference card with key points or words needed

Use a filler phrase if you don't remember what to say

Short stories: Involve people with a story related to the topic

Stories are powerful, and they can add an emotional dimension to your topic

"Tell the audience what you are going to say; say it, and then tell them what you´ve said"

Dale Carnegie.

You need signposting language and order

For example: where was I?, So, what was I saying?, what´s the word in english again?

Mistakes and Clarifications

Let me rephrase that..., actually, what I meant to say is..., to clarify, I wanted to say that...

Adding something you forgot

Let me just add ne more thing..., I´d like to add something to a point we discussed earlier..., Let me return to an earlier point briefly.
