III Reading Comprehension A
When planning on a presentation, above all, know your audience and
match what you say to their needs. Creating your presentation with your audience in mind will make sure that they will follow you. If your presentation doesn’t appeal to your audience ― no matter how well you have developed it ― your presentation will fall on deaf ears. This leads us to the next rule: Know your material very well. Your material should be second nature to you. Practice giving your presentation with friends, in front of a mirror, and with co-workers. If you are speaking in a second language, make sure that you record yourself and listen a number of times before going to practice with a native speaker (if possible).
Remember that you are an actor when presenting. Make sure that not only your physical appearance is appropriate for the occasion, but also the tone you use is well chosen. If your topic is serious, then be serious. However, it’s always a good idea to begin your presentation with an ice-breaker. Don’t worry about making friends, rather lead the audience through your material in a calm and relaxed manner. Speak slowly and clearly, and remember to address everyone in the audience ― even the person the farthest away from you.
To achieve the above goals, follow these tips when giving your presentation:
?
Speak with confidence. Believe what you are saying and you will
persuade your audience.
?
Do not read from notes. Using notes is fine, but do so only briefly.
? Keep eye contact with your audience. Making direct eye contact
with people will help them feel as if they are participating in your presentation.
? Bring photocopies. Don’t just use a PowerPoint presentation. Provide audience members with photocopies of the most important materials so they can keep your most important points in mind. ? Know when to stop. This is very important. You need to make your case, but continuing for too long will only ensure that the audience forgets what you have said. 96. What is the passage mainly about? A. Tips to make an effective presentation. B. The role of a speaker in a presentation. C. Ways to help audience follow a presentation. D. The importance of practicing before a presentation.
