How to prepare a great presentation

Prepare your oral presentation

·         Brainstorm your topic and write a rough outline.

·         Research your topic. .Remember you have a limited time for your presentation.

·         Organise your material and write a draft—think about the length of time you have to talk.

·         Summarise your draft into points to write on overheads and/or cards.

·         Plan and prepare your visual aids.

·         Rehearse your presentation and get its length right. Ask a friend to listen and time you.

 

Structure:

Introduction:

·         State your purpose;

·          for example:
‘I’m going to talk about...’
‘This morning I want to explain…’

·         Present an outline of your talk; for example:
‘I will concentrate on the following points: First of all…Then…
This will lead to… And finally…’

The Body

·         Present your main points one by one in logical order.

·         Pause at the end of each point (give people time to take notes, or time to think about what you are saying).

·         Make it absolutely clear when you move to another point. For example:
‘The next point is that ...’
‘OK, now I am going to talk about ...’
‘Right. Now I'd like to explain ... ’
‘Of course, we must not forget that ...’‘However, it's important to realise that...’

·         Use clear examples to illustrate your points.

The Conclusion

·         It is very important to leave your audience with a clear summary of everything you have covered.

·         It is also important not to let the talk just fizzle out. Make it obvious that you have reached the end of the presentation.

·         Summarise the main points again, using phrases like:
‘To sum up...’
‘So, in conclusion...’
‘OK, to recap the main points…’

·         Restate the purpose of your talk, and say that you have achieved your aim:
‘I think you can now see that...’
‘My intention was ..., and it should now be clear that ...’

·         Thank the audience, and invite questions:
‘Thank you. Are there any questions?’

·          

DELIVERING YOUR PRESENTATION

Talk to your audience, don't read to them!

A presentation is not the same as an essay.

Visual Aids:

Create a good presentation

·         The text should be legible and clear

·         Use a simple background; it keeps the text readable.

·         Show several slides – each with one idea, image or data point.

·         The images represent what you are saying, so there is no need to verbally describe the images onscreen.

·         Eliminate "headline and bullet points" slides; they are tiring to read.

·         Include one or two lines of text in a slide to a maximum of six lines of text.

·         Use images or photos to help the audience remember a person, place or thing you mention.

Vocabulary for CSR

Being a responsible consumer

Task

Being a responsible shopper means being informed about the social and environmental impact of the companies you shop with, choosing the best options, and taking action to demand change from some of the worst corporate actors. Thanks to some of these actions, some multinationals have become sensitive to criticisms and have implemented changes to improve their public image.

Now is your turn to carry out some research. With the results of the survey of your class' shopping habits, choose two brand names of the same product, make some research and prepare a report explaining their practices.
- Check you understand the meaning of these words before you go any further:

• brand 
• brand name 
• consumer 
• logo 
• marketing 
• ethical/unethical 
• eco friendly 
• exploit, exploitative 
• sweatshop 
• multinational 
• shareholder

Write your results in a format like this one:
