This document provides tips for giving effective presentations in English, including proper posture, gestures, and voice techniques. It discusses avoiding nervous gestures like fidgeting or having hands on hips. Gestures should be clear and enhance the message. Voice should use stress, stretching out words, and pauses for emphasis. Two example presentation passages are given on environmental issues and individual actions people can take to help the planet. Presenters are reminded to finalize their presentations in class then do peer reviews before presenting to the group.
6. • Talking to the board
• Looking down at notes
• Looking up at sky
• Swaying around, nervously
• Hands on hips – too confident or arrogant
• Military Stance – too stiff
• Blocking the board
• Rubbing hands together
11. • Even though environmental issues like pollution and global
warming are big problems -there arelots of little things you
can do to pitch in ….and keep the planet ….healthy.
• For example, you could Save water by turning off running
taps and re-using boiled water to water the plants. Also, try
to avoid throwing away food – either buy and cook less or
compost any remaining food. In general, it is a good idea to
try and Consume less overall. Reducing electricity
consumption is another easy …..and important step. Turn
off lights when you are not using them and unplug
appliances which are not in use, such as the TV or Hi-Fi.
Most importantly,….. try to spread awareness to friends
and colleagues. We all need …..to do our bit.
