Section D

Last time,I talked about the importance of an oral presentation.

Today,I'd like to talk about the structure of a presentation.A good oral presentation is well structured.This makes it easier for the listener to follow.Generally speaking,a typical presentation consists of three parts:the beginning,middle and ending.In other words,they are the introduction,body and conclusion.

Let's first look at the beginning of a presentation.The beginning of a presentation is the most important part,because it is the introduction of yourself to your listeners.You can begin your presentation by asking some questions,or with a comment,quote or fact.In some cases,you can begin with a joke,or a surprising statement.And an effective beginning draws the listener's attention,and sets the proper tone for your presentation.

16.What did the speaker talk about last time?

17.What does the speaker want to talk about today?

18.What does a typical presentation consist of?

19.Why is the beginning of a presentation the most important part,according to the speaker?

20.What is the role an effective beginning can play in your presentation?

【答案】16.importance 17.structure 18.middle and ending 19.introduction of yourself 20.listener's attention
