PART TWO

Giving a Successful Presentation
(0) speakers feel a
little nervous at the start (1) a
presentation. The answer is to pay special attention to the beginning. First
impressions are important and this is the time when you need (2)
get the attention of your audience.
When you begin, try to speak slowly and calmly. It’s a good idea to learn
your introduction by heart. After a (3)
moments, you will relax and gain
confidence.
You need to build a warm and friendly relationship with your audience.
Enthusiasm is contagious. If you are enthusiastic your audience will be
enthusiastic too. And (4) careful
to establish eye contact (5) each
member of your audience. Each person should feel that you are speaking
directly to (6) or her.
It is, of course, important that your audience can hear you clearly (7)
your presentation. Remember that if
you turn (8) from your audience,
for example towards the whiteboard, you need to speak (9)
little more loudly. In general, you
should try to vary your voice. Your voice will then be more interesting for
your audience. The important point is (10)
to speak in the same, flat,
monotonous voice throughout your presentation. This could put your audience
to sleep!
Of all (11) information that enters
our brains, (12) of it enters
through the eyes. 80% of what your audience learn during your presentation
is learned visually (what they see) and only 20% is learned aurally (what
they hear).
It is well worth spending time in the creation of good visual aids. But it
is equally important not to use (13)
many. Keep the information on each visual aid to a minimum, and give your
audience time to look (14) and
absorb this information. Remember, your audience have never seen these
visual aids (15) . They need time to
study and to understand them. Without understanding there is no
communication.
