How to make an effective presentation英语作文
How to make an effective presentation
I.Introduction
常见的presentation开头部分包括：
Welcoming the Audience 欢迎听众
尽管这并不完全重要，但是使用常用的打招呼用语能够建立起和听众之间融洽的关系，也能引起听众的注意力。
Welcome ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome everyone.
I’d like to welcome you today. Let’s get started right away.
Thank you for coming.
Attention Getters 引起听众的兴趣
可以以令人深思的问题、有趣的故事、惊人的事实等来开始，以抓住听众的注意力，引起听众的兴趣。
Suppose… How would you …?
(Suppose you were in a tornado. How would you protect yourself?)
Have you ever thought about…? Well, if I could explain how…, would you be interested?
( Have you ever thought about becoming a millionaire? Well, if I could explain how to earn
a million dollars, would you be interested?)
Let me begin by asking you a question.
Before I begin, I would like you to think about the following questions.
Pacing 节奏
开头的节奏需要缓慢、有板有眼，语调要充满热情。如果开头非常快，听众听不懂你的英语表达，整个陈述就会很失败。热情的语调能够反映出你对这个主题的浓厚兴趣，如果自己都好不兴奋，听众当然不会表现出太大的兴趣。
Providing a Purpose 说明陈述的目的
This topic is important for you to understand because…
The purpose/ objective of my presentation is…
By the end of this presentation, you will understand…
Giving an Overview 概述要点
My topic today is… First, I’d like to … Then, I’ll… Finally, I’ll…
In my presentation today, I’ll be discussing/ presenting… and … as well
Inviting Questions 邀请提问
I will now be happy/ glad to answer your question.
II.主体部分（body）
清晰的逻辑，使用转折承接引导听众从一个论点到另外一个论点，让听众紧跟你的思路。The first main effect is…
The next main cause is…
In addition…
Furthermore…
On the one hand,…on the other hand…
In contrast…
While…
自问自答(rhetorical questions)
自己提出一个问题，然后稍做停歇（2秒钟左右），之后给出答案。这种技巧能引起听众的注意，促使听众去思考。同时还能增强presentation的逻辑清晰度。
So, how do we know it’s working?
How come (为什么) we’re not seeing any results?
What action do we plan to take?
修复策略（recovery strategy）
III.结论（conclusion）
进入总结部分，应该象听众发出信号，说明你要总结了。
To sum up/ in a word/ to summarize/ in brief/ to put it simply/ in short…
最后要邀请听众提问I will now be happy to answer your questions。当有听众提问时，首先要重复听众所提的问题，确定你明白对方所问，同时也是确保其他听众知道这个问题，最重要的是，通过重复问题可以给自己留一些时间组织答案。
3.1 to confirm that you understand the question.
3.2 to make sure that everyone else knows what the question is.
3.3 to give yourself time to organize your answer.
可使用这些句子来重复问题：
The question is….
What he is asking is…
John, you are saying…, right?
回答问题时候应该做到有的放矢，要言简意赅，拖泥带水回答效果会很差。
The answer is ‘yes’. There are two reasons why…
Generally speaking, it’s true… Let me explain…
Tha t’s a complicated question, but the short answer is…
No, I don’t agree that…
IV.制作Powerpoint Slides (Preparing Visuals)
易读性为前提。
使用24-28字号，标题增大至32号。
使用恰当的字体
避免过多堆放内容：罗列太多的论点是一个常见的问题，这会让听众眼花缭乱，没有办
法阅读，也无法集中注意力。
限制幻灯片的数量
谨慎使用颜色：字体颜色与背景颜色要有足够的差别。避免使用浅红、橙色和黄色，因为这些颜色在大的投影屏幕上显示不出来。
避免语言错误：仔细检查拼写和语法错误，幻灯片上出现的语言错误会大大降低presentation的专业性，破坏其在听众心目中的印象。
V.6点建议
不要对幻灯片照本宣科（Don’t just read your slides）
声音洪亮，充满信心（Speak loudly and confidently）
使用简单的词汇和句式，注意书面写作用语和口语之间的区别（Use spoken English and pay attention to the differences between spoken and written English）
面对观众，要和听众有眼神的交流（Look at the audience and maintain eye contact）
必须严格遵守时间限制（Respect time limit and plan time carefully）
做个预演准备，使自己能够脱稿做出简单简短的陈述（Have a rehearsal）
