but today I'm going to share with you some tips and also some useful language
- 00:04 - 00:06
so that you can feel a little more
- 00:06 - 00:09
confident about your presenting skills in english,
- 00:09 - 00:13
it's important to remember that presentations are
- 00:13 - 00:16
really there for people to understand.
- 00:17 - 00:22
So even though you want to use good language and you want to communicate clearly,
- 00:23 - 00:26
you don't want to use very complicated
- 00:26 - 00:30
language because usually especially in business environment,
- 00:30 - 00:33
but I would say in english in general,
- 00:33 - 00:37
usually you talk to people who are not native speakers,
- 00:38 - 00:43
probably many of them will have a lower level of english than you.
- 00:44 - 00:46
I hope this perspective helps you
- 00:46 - 00:52
and also I hope this perspective gives you an idea of how you should
- 00:52 - 00:53
make your
- 00:54 - 00:55
presentation
- 00:55 - 00:56
simple
- 00:56 - 00:58
or as simple as possible
- 00:58 - 01:00
and also easy to follow,
- 01:00 - 01:01
easy to understand.
- 01:03 - 01:04
Having said this,
- 01:04 - 01:07
I want to introduce some useful phrases to you and I
- 01:07 - 01:11
want to help you run a successful presentations in english.
- 01:11 - 01:14
And now let's simply just move there.
- 01:14 - 01:18
So we discussed in the previous module how you run the meeting
- 01:18 - 01:20
in general. Right?
- 01:20 - 01:25
So of course there is the first section when you say hello and welcome to the meeting,
- 01:25 - 01:26
thank you for finding the time,
- 01:26 - 01:30
then you present a problem or what you want to discuss
- 01:30 - 01:33
and you maybe you present the agenda if you have one,
- 01:33 - 01:36
you tell people when they should ask questions. Right?
- 01:36 - 01:39
So you should know those phrases already.
- 01:39 - 01:42
If you don't know them go back to the module from the last week
- 01:43 - 01:44
and then
- 01:44 - 01:45
at some point
- 01:45 - 01:50
someone says or you say, well there is a presentation I would like to show,
- 01:50 - 01:51
right,
- 01:51 - 01:54
and that's what I'm going to help you with you say
- 01:55 - 01:56
in english, you can say
- 01:57 - 01:59
let me share my presentation with you
- 01:59 - 02:03
or you can say let me pull up my presentation and that's
- 02:03 - 02:06
the first phrase of the lesson that I would like you to remember
- 02:07 - 02:09
in the following sections of this lesson.
- 02:09 - 02:14
I will tell you what, I will tell you how to structure your presentation,
- 02:15 - 02:19
I will tell you what Lincoln words are and I will tell you how to use them.
- 02:20 - 02:24
I will help you with commenting on charts and statistical data.
- 02:24 - 02:30
I will give you an example of how you use those words to comment on statistical data.
- 02:30 - 02:35
And I will also remind you how you can interrupt people during the presentation.
- 02:36 - 02:41
Are you ready? I hope you are. Because that's what I'm going to start with.
- 02:41 - 02:45
The structure and the linking words as I told you
- 02:45 - 02:49
you want to make your presentation simple and easy to follow.
- 02:49 - 02:52
It's good to remember that just like with anything
- 02:53 - 02:57
also with presentation you have to remember, there is some kind of introduction,
- 02:57 - 03:03
there is some kind of main body so to say so that that's where the information is.
- 03:03 - 03:07
That's where you say everything you want to share and you want to give
- 03:07 - 03:12
the new information to people and then there is a summary in other words
- 03:14 - 03:15
First
- 03:16 - 03:19
there is a point tell me what you're going to tell me
- 03:19 - 03:21
then there is the point. Tell me,
- 03:21 - 03:24
and then there is a point to tell me what you told me.
- 03:25 - 03:28
Tell me what you're going to tell me. It's all about introducing.
- 03:29 - 03:31
Alright, so just like you introduced the meeting,
- 03:31 - 03:33
just like you say what you're going to tackle
- 03:34 - 03:39
throughout the meeting, you say some at the beginning of your presentation,
- 03:39 - 03:41
I mean sometimes it's just a presentation, not a meeting,
- 03:41 - 03:43
that's why it's good to remember.
- 03:43 - 03:45
You still want to have an introduction, Right?
- 03:46 - 03:47
And you can say for example,
- 03:48 - 03:50
the purpose of my presentation today is
- 03:51 - 03:52
President
- 03:53 - 03:53
Yes.
- 03:54 - 03:55
Or you can say
- 03:56 - 03:58
in today's presentation, I'm going to explain
- 03:59 - 04:01
or I'm going to walk you through
- 04:01 - 04:04
or I'm going to give you an overview of
- 04:04 - 04:05
some problem.
- 04:05 - 04:06
Right?
- 04:07 - 04:08
President Patsy
- 04:09 - 04:10
via Sardinia.
- 04:10 - 04:11
She provides
- 04:12 - 04:14
a podium autumn crop
- 04:16 - 04:16
lope,
- 04:17 - 04:20
um a podium automated or
- 04:21 - 04:22
says,
- 04:25 - 04:27
I will give you an overview
- 04:27 - 04:28
of
- 04:28 - 04:28
something.
- 04:29 - 04:30
An overview is Auckland
- 04:31 - 04:33
right. Also
- 04:35 - 04:38
you can simply structure your presentation by saying
- 04:38 - 04:39
firstly
- 04:40 - 04:40
blah blah blah,
- 04:41 - 04:42
right? I mean,
- 04:42 - 04:43
okay,
- 04:43 - 04:46
so first you say the purpose of the presentation is then
- 04:46 - 04:49
you say firstly I will talk about blah blah blah.
- 04:50 - 04:51
After that we'll look at
- 04:52 - 04:54
blah blah blah. For example, statistical data.
- 04:54 - 04:58
And finally I will show you the forecast or I will show you
- 04:58 - 05:03
the next steps we're going to take or anything your presentation is about.
- 05:03 - 05:06
So that's also how you can start to structure.
- 05:07 - 05:08
Um
- 05:08 - 05:11
then you want to tell people
- 05:12 - 05:14
what you want to tell them, Right?
- 05:14 - 05:18
So you want to share all the new information with them.
- 05:18 - 05:24
First thing to understand is when you say next slide please,
- 05:24 - 05:25
it's of course correct
- 05:26 - 05:26
and nothing
- 05:27 - 05:31
very wrong with that. But you just lose the attention of people when you say that.
- 05:31 - 05:32
All right.
- 05:32 - 05:36
So it's much better to know your slides and to say
- 05:36 - 05:40
something different before you actually move to the next slide.
- 05:40 - 05:42
Let me show you how,
- 05:42 - 05:43
for example,
- 05:44 - 05:45
you can say
- 05:45 - 05:47
now let's move on to
- 05:47 - 05:48
right
- 05:49 - 05:51
calling ago. Um
- 05:53 - 05:57
Now let's move on to the next issue. Now let's move on to the next slide.
- 05:57 - 06:01
Of course, you can say that. Now let's move on to the next question, whatever.
- 06:03 - 06:06
Or you can say moving on to the next section,
- 06:06 - 06:08
let's take a look at
- 06:16 - 06:19
President ASi spokesman Na.
- 06:20 - 06:24
And here for example, you can include some statistical data or anything you want
- 06:24 - 06:26
and sometimes you
- 06:26 - 06:31
you want to get back to some previous slide or whatever and here's how you do it.
- 06:31 - 06:33
Let's move back to the previous slide chase with
- 06:34 - 06:38
you can say let me jump to the next or to the previous slide
- 06:38 - 06:39
possible.
- 06:42 - 06:43
And uh
- 06:45 - 06:48
you probably noticed that jumping is quite popular because in the
- 06:48 - 06:51
previous lesson we had this phrase let me jump in.
- 06:52 - 06:55
Right? So here's like another jumping expression.
- 06:56 - 06:58
It's very dynamic in business, isn't it?
- 06:58 - 07:02
Ah Or you can also say when you navigate through the presentation,
- 07:02 - 07:04
you can say let me stop here for a sec,
- 07:05 - 07:06
or for a second,
- 07:07 - 07:08
it's very common
- 07:08 - 07:13
uh in english to say sec instead of second, so don't be lost when you hear it,
- 07:13 - 07:15
it means just for a moment, right?
- 07:15 - 07:19
When you say let me let's stop here, or let me stop here for a sec, it means
- 07:20 - 07:23
let me stop here for a moment. Let's let's pause here.
- 07:23 - 07:24
Let's
- 07:24 - 07:29
just uh let let me just comment on that. I would like to stop here for a moment.
- 07:30 - 07:30
All right,
- 07:31 - 07:32
then,
- 07:32 - 07:34
when you share your ideas
- 07:34 - 07:37
that are on the slides, sometimes you want to make something.
