Business English 3 Presentation Expressions Advanced Professional English
hi i’m vanessa from speak english with
vanessa calm are you ready for your
presentation let’s get started it can be
scary to give a presentation in your
native language and then if you have to
give a presentation in english it’s
another level so today i want to help
you with three important expressions
that you can use in your presentations
in English one of these is for the
beginning of your presentation once for
the middle and once for the end i hope
that you’ll be able to use these in a
variety of situations and as you listen
to presentations in English especially
professional business presentations I
hope that you’ll be able to recognize
these and hear them used over and over
again let’s start with the first one at
the beginning of your presentation
I recommend thanking the people who are
watching the people who took time to
come to see you
so you can say to get started I want to
thank you for taking the time to come
today
I recommend reviewing this sentence
again and again because altogether it’s
clear professional and understandable to
get started I want to thank you for
taking the time to come here today to
get started to get started huh could we
say just thanks for coming yes of course
you can say this simple expression no
problem but if you want to take it to
the next level
we often use to get started at the
beginning of presentations to get
started I want to thank you for taking
the time to come here today especially
if you have people at the meeting who
had to come from another office maybe
another country this is really valuable
and it’s just starting your presentation
on a good note let’s talk about the
second expression the second expression
is for the meat of your presentation we
often use this word meat me-80 like the
to talk about the most important parts
so at the beginning you’re gonna want to
introduce your topic you could say today
I’m gonna talk about marketing but there
are other more important ways to say
this you could say I’d like to share
three points about marketing today I’d
like to share with you three points
about I’d like to share this is
presenting it in a professional way and
instead of saying I’m gonna talk about
your including your audience with the
words share I’d like to share with you
three points about our networking plan
I’d like to share great it’s a good way
to introduce these topics you can even
use this at the beginning of each point
I’d like to share with you the second
point I’d like to share the third point
I’d like to share the fourth point I’d
like to share some customer testimonials
great this is including your audience
oftentimes presentations or meetings can
be either a bit boring or it may be
difficult to follow so this is helping
them to stay engaged the final
expression is at the end of your
presentation usually at the end you want
to talk about all of the points quickly
together so what’s a good expression
that we could use you could say in
conclusion we need to do this for our
marketing plan you could say in
conclusion but a great word that you can
use is to recap to recap I proposed that
we first do this then we do this then we
do this to improve our company’s
marketing plan to recap to recap oh it’s
beautiful this just means to go over
again the three points that I talked
about to recap I proposed that we first
do this then this then this you’re
simply giving in one sentence everything
that you talked about to recap
so I recommend using this at the end
just as a quick conclusion in case
anyone missed a point and it shows that
you’re reviewing what you talked about
so that at the end of the meeting you
can have an easy discussion you can talk
about those points with the other people
or they can just review their notes and
go back and talk to their departments to
recap and now it’s your turn to use
these presentation expressions imagine
that you’re giving a presentation try to
make a couple sentences using these
expressions in the comments below it’s a
