Lesson 1 How to make a presentation-A Lesson 1 How to make a presentation-A Today I startED my first class on oral English training under the help of my oral English mentor, Ana. She is PRETTY nice and PATIENT. She told me to demonstrate my slideS before her through the camera. Every time I finishED one slide, she gave me some suggestions, which can be summarized as follows: 1. Try to make your audience focus on your slide INSTEAD OF yourself. You should write the information you want to express in detail on the slide, so the audience can fully understand your ideas even if THEY miss your speech. 2. You can mark the English words which you think it is hard to pronounce using separate, short, and easy to read WORDS. You can capitalIZE the letters THAT need to be emphasized. This is good way to improve your pronOunciations. 3. Try to compare your data with different sources in A time or space scale. So your audience can understand THAT your data is big or small compared with others. 4. Try to explain each item on your slide sequentially. If you want to omit some, please remove them at first. The hard concepts withOUT explanationS will make THE audience feel strange. 5. Try to give precise annotations [anno-TA-shions ] for the references on your slide, so your audience can track them. 6. After finishing your slide, try to check spelling errors and grammar, SUCH AS plural forms of nounS, tenseS and the third person singular. Because you are facing some students, you should try to make your presentation perfect. To be continued.
