Presentation(展示)skills are important at school and in other areas of life. Some people don't like giving presentations because they don't know what to say or because they get nervous about public speaking. Here's some advice to help you make presentations easier and more enjoyable.
⒈Get organised
The best presentations are well planned and clearly organized. Think about topics(话题)and choose a proper one. In one topic, three or four main ideas will be fine. The beginning of your presentation should be interesting. For example, you can tell a short, funny story to make people laugh.
⒉Use photos or videos
Try to use photos or videos. These things make your performance more exciting and help you remember what you' re going to say. However, you shouldn't use too many. The "star" of your presentation should be you, not your photos or videos.
⒊ Practice before your performance
You need to practice many times before the "big day". Practice saying any unusual words. Then write the main ideas on small cards to help you remember. Practice in front of a mirror and time your presentation. Finally you can record your performance or ask a friend to watch you and then make suggestions for improvements.
⒋Connect with your audience(观众)
Always look at the audience when you speak. Stand up straight, but don't stand still or move around much. Finally, be sure to thank your audience when you finish speaking. It's a simple but good way to end any presentation.
