going to learn how to do an excellent oral presentation with the help of a

3
00:00:11,099 --> 00:00:15,480
PowerPoint presentation. First of all we'll have a look at presentation

4
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:20,199
theory, structure and common expressions in order to help you with your class

5
00:00:20,199 --> 00:00:25,199
presentation. This video will help you build your language skills so that you

6
00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:31,579
present confidently in English. Don't be afraid of presenting, if you practice you

7
00:00:31,579 --> 00:00:37,079
can do it. Let's start with a warm-up. Do you agree with the following

8
00:00:37,079 --> 00:00:44,479
presentation tips? In an oral presentation you should use clear

9
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:53,649
PowerPoint slides, show your audience how your presentation is organized, move

10
00:00:53,649 --> 00:01:01,219
around and talk with your hands, summarize your main points at the end of

11
00:01:01,219 --> 00:01:06,700
your presentation and don't forget to involve your audience with questions at

12
00:01:06,700 --> 00:01:15,099
the end. However, in an oral presentation you shouldn't speak very loudly and

13
00:01:15,099 --> 00:01:24,280
slowly, prepare a precise script and read it to the audience or write full

14
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,620
sentences and paragraphs on your PowerPoint slides. Now let's move on to

15
00:01:28,620 --> 00:01:34,840
the organization of a presentation. If you have an organized and structured

16
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:40,040
presentation you will feel confident. How can you do that? Let's see an example.
