Oral Presentations
Giving presentations is an important skill. Whether for school, work, or other contexts,
being able to speak clearly and confidently in English will help you succeed.
Presentation Structure
A good presentation has three parts:
1. Introduction (10%)
- Greet your audience
- Introduce your topic
- Tell them what you will cover
2. Body (80%)
- Main points with examples
- Logical order
- Transitions between sections
3. Conclusion (10%)
- Summarize main points
- End memorably
- Thank the audience
Opening
- "Good morning/afternoon, everyone."
- "Today I'm going to talk about..."
- "I'd like to begin by..."
Transitions
- "Moving on to my next point..."
- "Now let's look at..."
- "This brings me to..."
Closing
- "In conclusion..."
- "To sum up..."
- "Thank you for listening. Any questions?"
Feeling nervous is normal! Try these tips:
- Practice many times before the real presentation
- Breathe slowly and deeply before you start
- Pause if you need to collect your thoughts
- Look at friendly faces in the audience
- Remember: The audience wants you to succeed!
Common Mistakes

- Reading directly from your notes/screen
