Making an oral presentation.

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

· Oral presentation is NOT an oral report read aloud.

· Oral presentation CANNOT deliver information as RAPIDLY as a written report, so speak more slowly.

· BEFORE introducing new information give the listener time to anticipate what kind of information is coming next.

· AFTER delivering the new information provide time for the listener to un­derstand the idea (to fit it into the listener's general knowledge of the sub­ject).

To do this:

PAUSE

PARAPHRASE, i.e. say the same thing in different words (useful phrases: in other words, that is to say, to put it another way, what I want to say is)
