Steps to prepare for a group presentation:

Step 1: Chose the topic to be presented. 选题 (如是给定题目，则略过）

Step 2: Work in a group to discuss how to define the objective of this topic. 确定目标/目的

Step 3: Work in a group to discuss  whether the objective you defined of the topic will get your audience's attention? Why should they listen to you? And then make the final decision on the objective. 小组讨论分析这个目标是否时观众感兴趣的，对他们有何意义？

Step 4: Work in a group to discuss the logical structure of your presentation. ( topic - content/outline - the main body-conclusion) 小组讨论演讲的框架结构：标题-结构框架-演讲主体内容-结论）

Step 5: Work in a group to discuss how to divide it into several parts, and assign each part to each group member, and analyze the inter-connection between each part, which makes them together as a whole to support the toic of the presentation. 小组讨论将演讲分成几个部分，每个部分分配给哪个组员，以及每个部分之间有什么必然联系, 使其共同作用于支撑演讲主题。

Step 6: Each member do some research about the topic to enrich the  content of each part of your structure, as well as making your presentation to be informative. 根据拟定的框架，查阅相关资料，充实自己的演讲内容，使其能给听众和观众提供有用的信息，增长其知识，而非仅仅讲一些大家已知的内容，无意义。

Step 6: Each member write the content of your presentation. Make your key point clear, with some details, but don't make the whole presentation too long. (3-5minutes) 写稿，确定演讲内容精炼、重点突出，有相关细节支撑重点，但不能冗长。

Step 7: Each member make a PPT to help you better convey what you are going to tell your audience during the presentation. but you have to use the same PPT template, and same font and size. (Please refer to some good examples of PPT.) 制作PPT。PPT只是辅助材料，能够更好的让观众跟上演讲者的思路和内容，使演讲更有效率，观众重点在听你说，并不是看你的PPT。 

Step 8: Practice your presentation and try to perfect the quality of your language with the help of some reference materials or friends, and try to memorize most of the content of your presentation as much as possible. 演讲前反复练习。一是尽可能的完善演讲稿的语言质量，可以参考一些话题相关的英文资料或者请其他同学帮忙修改。二是让自己非常熟悉演讲内容，尽可能脱稿演讲，而不是全程念稿。

Step 9: All the group members should gether together to introduce your part to others, and try to make the group presentation as a whole, and help each other to find out something to be improved, including both the content and language. 所有组员聚在一起，互相介绍自己负责部分的内容，一起讨论小组演讲的逻辑性、过渡、衔接，使其形成一个完整的小组演讲，并为彼此提出改进意见，包括内容和语言两方面。

Step 10: Combine the individual PPT  to be one, adjusting the template, the format, the font, the size, as well as the organization of each slide, and try to avoid using all pictures or words in one slike. Just work together to improve it. 小组成员共同改进PPT， 使其成为一个整体，统一模板、格式、字体、字号等，避免出现全部图片或者全部文字的页面，避免整个讲稿内容粘贴与PPT中。

Presentation Skills: Structure and Key Language

Structure: The general structure of a presentation has an introduction, a main body, and a conclusion. Unlike an essay or a lecture, it has a final section at the end, the Q&A, when you will answer questions from the audience or teacher. Each area is discussed in more detail below.

1. Introduction:

(1) Greetings: greet the audience and introduce yourself and the topic. Try to arouse interest.

(2) Purpose: State the purpose of the presentation.

(3) Structure: outline the structure of the presentation - tell them what you are going to talk about.

(4) Timing: say how long the presentation will last.

(5) About Q&A: say when you will be answering questions.

2. Main body:

Ø Present important data/material -  but be selective.

Ø Use signpost phrases to help the audience follow your ideas in PPT.

Ø Draw the audience’s attention to important points.

Ø Plan visual aids (PPT) to reinforce the verbal message.

3. Conclusion

(1) Review the purpose of your presentation.

(2) Give a brief summary of the main points of the main body.

(3) Give a final “take-away” message -- what one thing do you want the audience to remember?

4. Closing

Ø That's the end of my presentation. Thank you for your attention.

Ø That's the end of my presentation. Thank you for your listening.

5. Q&A

Ø Invite and answer questions at the end of your presentation.

Useful language to help structure your presentation:

Introduction: The introduction is a crucial part of any presentation. You need to achieve all of the functions listed above. Below is a list of useful phrases for presentation introductions.

Remember it is vital that your presentation has a clear introduction which gives the audience a brief overview of your talk.

Main body: A vital part of any presentation is ‘transitioning’ (moving on) to a new section, as well as handing over to another speaker. This helps the listener understand the structure and follow your main points.

Some useful transition phrases are shown in the box below.

小组演讲注意每个组员之间的过度语言，参考如下：

以下几个幻灯片设计供大家做参考，特点为：

1. 所有幻灯片字体统一，标题字体可以与正文不同，但所有幻灯片里的标题要统一；

2. 正文字号要大，考虑演讲现场的实际情况，与你在笔记本电脑上看的效果不同；

3. 背景与文字对比度高，背景图案不宜太多色彩；

4. 要尽量使用数据支撑演讲内容；

5. 开头要有目录；

6. PPT里文字精炼，通过演讲来解释每一页的核心内容；

7. 演讲是为了让观众能听懂，PPT是辅助观众理解你讲的内容，不是增加他们的视觉负担。
