A guide for a good oral presentation, a shyntesis of the most important points of one.

1. ORAL PRESENTATIONS
An outline about them: tips
from a student to others

2. First of all: Preparation

3. Prepare yourself
• Get ready >> Research – Master the subject you will
be talking about!
• Bring out the sources >> Do not invent information!

4. Prepare your speech
• Organize ideas >> Maybe you need an outline in a
piece of paper;
• Set purposes >> What are your objectives?
• Analyze the audience >> Do people know the
subject? How old are they? What do they do?

5. Do you need a PPT?
• Be careful with:
• Texts too long;
• Background colors;
• Size of the font
• Extensive videos
• Organization (Where the picture goes? How about
the title?, etc)

6. Is everything ready??
Not yet!

7. Practice
• An important part of the preparation consists in
practicing your speech. Try it in the mirror, walking in
the street...
• Make yourself comfortable with your topic, learn as
much as you can about it!

8. When it comes to the
crunch...: Presenting

9. While presenting
• Do not be shy! Look at people, smile at them.
• Do not use difficult words; sometimes “less is more”!
• Follow the logic, otherwise you can get lost.

10. And the most important: You are talking about
something you know, so it can’t go wrong!

11. After everything is done...:
Conclusion

12. Concluding
• Do not forget the conclusion!
• Do not make of the conclusion a new presentation,
just refresh setting important points.

13. And then...
• Thank the audience for their attention;
• Take comments;
• Answer possible questions.
