The three parts of a presentation -Listen to the podcast

 

Dear students.

 I hope you're well and safe. 

 Here are the three parts of a presentation

1-  The opening.

2- The body

3- The closing

     These are the three parts of a presentation.  First the opening.  You,  introduce yourself and you introduce the topic and why you chose this topic. Second, the body of the presentation contains  the main information and the ideas. Third,  the closing, the last  part of the presentation  you remind your listeners of what is the summary of your presentation and you thank them for listening. These are  basically the three parts of a presentation, 

    When you break it down into three parts, you can  train  for the opening. Practice the first part. After that, you focus on the body of your presentation, and  you familiarize yourself with all the sentences.  Practice saying these sentences in your presentation.

        After that, you look at the last part: the closing. Practice that too . Finally you add the three parts together and you have a complete  presentation. In short, we talked about the main parts of the presentation, the opening, the body, and the closing, and remember to practice the three parts separately, and then you practice them all together.

Good luck and have a nice day!

How to practice giving your presentation ?

 

Dear students, 

I hope you are well and safe.

 Here are some tips on how to practice for your presentation. 

   You will write down the sentences that you're going to be using in your presentation. Write them on study cards. Use five to 10 study cards. Write the keywords on each study cards. Number the study cards ,so that it will be easy for you to organize, Then start practicing your presentation using these  study cards. Practice for a few days, and you can practice the presentation with your friends online or offline.  You can record a video or an audio file of your presentation.  You need at least 10  days to practice it until it becomes very easy for you to understand and remember. 

Good luck

How to choose a topic for your presentation.

Dear students,

I hope you are well and safe.

How to choose a topic for your presentation. 

We always advise our students to choose a topic that is specific,and avoid general topics.  For example, do not talk about sports in general, but you can pick a particular sport, or a particular team in that sport and talk about.You can even pick  a particular player on that team and you can give the presentation on that player. 

     Also, when you're choosing a topic, you can brainstorm for a few minutes to help you figure out, the right topic for you.  Narrow down your topic, so that it won't be big or general. We also advise students to avoid  controversial issues in the presentation. The whole purpose behind the presentation is to see how well you can speak English, and how well  you prepare for the presentation. Choose something interesting, something you like, a hobby or a something in your own field of study. 

Good luck! and stay safe.

Tips for Preparing your course presentation

Dear students,

Keep it simple:
Choose a topic that you like. Something that you are interested in. Research and collect the the information you need.  You can make your presentation on something you already know. Something from your personal experience.  The big goal is to speak in English with confidence for one to three minutes. 

Write your notes:
 Use study cards to write the main ideas for  your presentation. Give the cards numbers to help you organise your presentation. Five to ten cards will do. 

Practice makes perfect: 
Use simple short sentences. The more you practice the better. Practice in the car. Practice in your bed before you go to sleep. practice several times everyday.  

What not to do:
Do not play a video during your presentation. Do not read your presentation from slides or a piece of paper. Do not use difficult words.
