1. HOW TO MAKE A GOOD ORAL PRESENTATION
1. PREPARE YOUR PRESENTATION

- Examples
3. PRACTISE YOUR PRESENTATION

4. SPEAK CLEARLY, SLOWLY AND STOP WHEN NECESSARY
- Your audience needs time to understand you
- They will understand you better
- If you take your time, you will relax
5. USE GESTURES IN AN APPROPIATE WAY
- Voice is not the only tool you have
- Look at your audience (all your audience)

8. WHEN YOU FINISH, GIVE TIME FOR QUESTIONS

- You have learned new things
- You are an “expert” on the topic.
