great
okay i’ve done that so let’s go to
today’s
topic here are today’s lesson boards
let’s take a look
so today’s topic is how to give a basic
presentation today’s topic is in
three parts we’re going to talk about
the introduction
of a presentation the body of a
presentation
and finally the conclusion the
conclusion
so today’s lesson uh is
kind of i made it to give you a guide to
follow
so you can use this to put your own
ideas and your own topics into and
follow some
kind of basic patterns to complete your
presentation
so let’s get started first we are going
to talk
about the introduction of your
presentation
so the introduction of your presentation
is the beginning
so for example in these live streams
every week
my introduction to my presentation is i
introduce myself i say hi everybody my
name is alicia
welcome back to our weekly live stream
so i
introduce myself and then i talk about
the topic
so that’s step one of course introduce
yourself
give your name maybe your title your
company
or your organization it depends on the
style like
is it a very formal serious presentation
or very
casual if everybody knows you maybe
you don’t need to tell your name but
introduce yourself basically is the
first step
then your next step what is the topic
of the presentation tell people what are
you going to talk about today
so for example when i started this live
stream i said
hi everybody my name is alicia in this
week’s lesson we are going to talk about
how to give a basic presentation so i
start off with introduction and the
topic
for the day okay so i said something
like this today i’m going to talk
about how to give a presentation so you
can use
this similar a similar pattern to this
to
express your presentation topic today
i’m going to talk about
sales in our company for the last month
okay
or maybe you have a proposal today i’m
going to talk about
a proposal for 2022 something like that
okay cool all right
let’s continue on if you have questions
you can send them live
in the chat i will try to catch it let’s
go to the next one
so what is the topic of the presentation
maybe it’s long it could be long then
why is this topic important why is this
topic
important so another way to understand
this
is why should you listen why is it
important
to listen to this information for
example
for today my topic today is how to give
a basic
presentation so why should you listen
why is this important
knowing how to give a presentation is
important
for your career for example so if you
know how
to give a presentation it can help you
in your career it can help you
with job opportunities you can also give
small presentations or be more
persuasive with your friends or your
family members too
okay so ask yourself
why is this topic important and then
explain that
to the people who are listening to you
why is this important
okay all right then explain
how are you going to share the
information
how are you going to share the
information how is it organized
so for example when i show you the live
stream boards
i show you the organization of the
presentation every week
this week i said we’re going to talk
about introduction
then body then conclusion so you the
listener the audience
you know what to expect you understand
the different topics in each part of the
presentation
so explain that to your listeners right
for example we’re going to look at the
three
parts of a presentation introduction
body and conclusion okay
so please keep this in mind you need to
tell your audience
what you’re going to talk about why it’s
important
and how you’re going to share the
information
with them so everybody understands the
flow
and the topics okay cool
all right some examples are coming in uh
mta enthusiast says hello everyone my
name is mta enthusiast i’m in
platterville and we are gonna watch
trains okay is that your for
your presentation okay good um let’s see
some people are sending some questions
about different topics like uh someone
wrote about like
prepositions somebody else wrote about
uh technical problems
um i would suggest if you have those
questions to search the english class
101 youtube channel that might help you
uh with those other questions okay so
this is the introduction to a
presentation so these are the key
topics or the key points to think about
for your introduction
for your presentation so this is only
like
a minute one minute maybe two minutes so
for me
when i do an introduction for the live
stream every week it’s very short right
so we we cover the topic i introduced
myself
and we give a little bit of information
about the topic for the day
okay cool so this is part one
all right let’s take a short break and
then we’ll go to part two the big part
the body of your presentation so if you
missed it
earlier or another week there is free
stuff for you
from the link below the video if you’re
watching on youtube
or above the video if you’re watching on
facebook there are many different topics
such as how to plan
your time and talk about your plans
or maybe some countries maybe are
opening their airports more these days
so you can choose some different topics
to cover
some different topics to practice and
take a look
you can find all of this from the link
below the video on youtube
above the video on facebook check it out
okay
good so let’s go now to part
two uh part two is about the
body of the presentation so the body of
the presentation means
all your main points so let’s go and if
you haven’t please please please make
sure to hit the like button
or and or share the video it helps other
people find the lesson okay
oh we have another one on facebook hi my
name is sanjong i hope st
st john i hope i’m from oh my gosh i’m
from haiti and i’m here tonight to talk
about my project for the next five years
nice nice introduction thank you for
sending that
okay uh please don’t flood the chat
youtube or facebook let’s get every make
sure everyone has a chance to
participate please
let’s go to the body so body so body
in this case the body of course we use
this to talk about
our human body but the body of a
presentation
is like the main part of the
presentation
all your details all your data right
there
okay so what should we do with the body
of the presentation this is the longest
part
of your presentation okay so what should
we do
in the body of your presentation
share your detailed opinions and give
detailed information about
the topic so share your opinions in
detail
why do you think that what do you think
or
give detailed information about
the topic so one tip one presentation
tip
is this in red a tip so avoid
i think or i believe and so on
so for example i think this project is
important
because it can attract new customers
i think this project is important
because it can attract new customers
so okay i said avoid so avoid
means try not to use or try to stay away
from
i think or i believe why this sentence
is 100
correct there’s no problem there’s no
grammar problem
but this part here we don’t really need
it
it’s your presentation we know it’s your
opinion
so you will sound more confident and
more
sure of yourself if you start here
so don’t say i think but just this
project is important
because it can attract new customers you
right away
immediately sound more confident yeah
so hey youtube chat mod we’ve got
someone flooding the chat can you take a
look
okay so let’s go to the next point so
after
as you share your detailed opinions and
give detailed information
about the topic make sure you
support your ideas and opinions
with other information support your
ideas and opinions
with other information for example
data news articles quotes and so on
so you can share your opinion or you can
share your proposal
but give some information to support
your idea for example if you want to
share a new product idea you have some
new idea
for your company to create you can
try something like this share company
data
like our company data shows
our customers are interested in this
type
of product our company data shows our
customers
are interested in this type of product
in a poll of 500 customers
200 people said they were interested
200 so in this case uh
make sure that you are sharing data that
is true
so please don’t create data
please don’t create data so in a poll of
500 customers 200 people said they were
interested please make sure this is
accurate of course
and this one in this case company data
this shows you did some
research for this point okay
so share some information in this case i
used a data point but you can use a news
article
that’s about your topic you can find a
key quote
about your topic whatever okay
cool all right i’m looking for your
questions i don’t see any yet
okay so let’s continue so make sure you
support your ideas
i have one point here about proposals
if your presentation is a proposal
so a proposal means you are sharing your
idea
with someone else you’re saying let’s
make this together
or let’s make this plan if your idea
is a proposal include
how do you plan to make your idea
happen how do you plan to make your idea
happen so that means what’s the schedule
how much money do you need what team do
you need
what kind of equipment for example so if
your presentation is a proposal
think about these things these questions
what’s your plan
include that in the body of your
proposal
okay all right good
okay all right so i have another tip
here in red
then so uh give lots of information to
support your idea so if you just say
i think or i feel or i believe to
support your idea
it sounds a little weak if you have data
or news articles
it makes your opinion sound stronger
it makes your argument stronger but
sometimes
people include too much so maybe you
have a lot of data
or a lot of news articles that’s great
that’s fine
but if you have too many things to talk
about
your audience will get tired your
audience will get
bored so in that case maybe
choose three or five three to five maybe
main points it depends on how
formal or how serious the topic is so if
your presentation
is about something very serious or it
costs a lot of money
maybe then you can share more
information give a lot of details give a
lot of support
if it’s a very simple thing maybe you
don’t need to
use so much supporting information okay
cool all right then the last point here
about the body part
is in blue use transitions
use transitions i know we think so much
about the content
we think so much about our main points
but transitions so those words like
first second third next
then use those words to move
between topics it sounds so much more
natural here are some i like to use like
this one here
next i’d like to talk about
so next i’d like to talk about the body
of the presentation
or next let’s talk about the body of the
presentation
speaking point right here this d i’d i’d
so not next i like to talk incorrect
incorrect
this d please clearly pronounce this d
next
i’d like to talk about another one
i really like is this one this leads to
my next point this leads to my next
point
so that means here’s my last topic
in this paragraph or in this part and
this part
leads into so leads to means this
idea continues to my next point so this
is a really
natural way to go from one main point
to a related or a connected next point
yeah
so these are some of my favorite
transitions
to use in presentation so to recap
your body of your presentation should be
where you share
detailed opinions detailed opinions and
you give detailed information
about your topic you should support your
ideas and opinion
with other information share your plan
if you’re making a proposal and try to
consider how much information you share
with your audience
yeah yeah oh uh willian
mello on youtube has the expression
elevator pitch
on youtube yeah elevator pitch if you
don’t know this expression the idea of
an
elevator pitch is a pitch so a pitch
is a little proposal it’s so short it’s
so quick
you can share it in an elevator ride so
that’s a
super super challenge level to think
about good point that’s called an
elevator pitch an elevator pitch
okay cool awesome so this this is the
body
of the presentation so let’s take one
more quick break
and then we’ll go to the conclusion how
do you end a presentation what should
you do
okay so uh one more time super quickly
if you missed it there’s oh as always
there’s free stuff for you from the link
below the video or above the video
check out these pdfs to work on your
vocabulary
and your phrase knowledge there are also
some new ones about uh like
phone dialogues and everyday life
dialogue so check those too
if you have not checked recently take a
look okay
below or above the video is the link
okay let’s go to our last point the
conclusion
the conclusion of your presentation is
the end of your presentation
conclusion so conclude
is inside the word is the root here okay
so the conclusion of your presentation
what should you do
review the main point of your
presentation
so remember at the introduction in the
introduction
here i said what is the topic of the
presentation
right we had this key question to answer
in your conclusion review it what is the
main point of your presentation
what is the key point you want the
listener
to remember so in my case today i said
it’s important to know how to give a
presentation
because it’s an essential career
skill it’s important to know how to give
a presentation because it’s an essential
career skill
so this is the main point of my
presentation
review your main point again
all right then summarize the supporting
points
from the body of the presentation
summarize is the key word here
summarize so that does not mean repeat
all the points again
it means make them shorter and give
a basic overview so that means
those points you talked about in the
body
here detailed information supporting
your ideas
giving your proposal summarize those
things again make them very short
we just want to refresh the main points
there
okay so for example customers are
interested in this product
there’s one point we have the budget and
resources to develop something new
so give just the a short summary
of the main points supporting points in
the body
okay and then finally if you are
requesting an action or maybe you want
someone to say
yes to your idea make your request
very clear so for example every week in
these live streams i say to you
please hit the like button right i have
to make the request
very clear what do you want the person
listening
to do right you need to tell them what
you want them to do
so they can think about it or so they
can do it right
so if you have a request so some request
for an
action some request for money maybe or
you want them to be part of your team
maybe make it very clear what you want
that person
to do and tell them so in my case my
request is always hit the like button
share the video check the links below
the video and so on so these are my
requests
in my presentation think about what you
want
your listener to do okay then finally at
the very end
you can say something like uh thank you
that’s the end of my presentation
if you want that’s the end of my
presentation thank the listeners for
their
time and attention thank the listeners
for their time and attention so this
sounds like
thank you very much for listening or
thank you for your time and attention
or in my case every week i say thank you
very much for joining me
and for sending your comments for
example
then in a real life presentation not in
a live chat
you can ask are there any questions
are there any questions so this gives
your audience the chance to ask you
things after the presentation yeah so
this
is how to finish your presentation this
is the conclusion
the end part of your presentation okay
so i follow all of these points every
week
in the live stream actually so this is a
good kind of
sample presentation okay so that’s the
end of my presentation
this week i hope you enjoyed it i will
show you the lesson boards again so you
can take a screenshot
of our topics for today so today we
talked about
how to give an introduction and a body
oh sorry we talked about how to give a
presentation
we talked about the introduction the
body and the conclusion of the
presentation
and we talked about the main points
inside each part of the presentation and
how they fit
together okay so i hope that you found
something you can use at work or maybe
at school
as well and of course you can give small
presentations very
casual presentations when you want to
persuade a friend or a family member
of something okay all right so i’ll
