TIPS ON ORAL PRESENTATIONS:
Do:
 Prepare what you’re going to say.
 Use more formal language.
 Use short, simple sentences to express your ideas clearly.
 Pause from time to time and don’t speak too quickly. This allows the listener to understand your ideas. Include a
short pause after each idea.
 Speak clearly and at the right volume.
 Have your notes ready in case you forget anything.
 Practise your presentation. Record yourself and listen to your presentation (several times until you’re satisfied
with your own work). If you can’t record yourself, ask a friend to listen to you. Does your friend understand you?
 Make your opinions very clear. Use expressions to give your opinion.
Don’t:
 Write out the whole presentation and learn every word by heart.
 Write out the whole presentation and read it aloud.
 Use very informal language.
 Only look at your note card. It’s important to look up at your listeners (the camera in this case) when you are
speaking.
