 Presentations get to the form of discussing something with the presenter and audience. And also according to Cottrel1(2008), presentations produce many prospective too. There are three basic purposes for giving oral presentations:
  1. To inform
  2. To persuade
  3. To build good will

Presentations are acessed based on the type of audience which is going to be communicated. Make the list of main points needed to emphasis  without swamping the audience. Select few concrete examples which is easy for the audience to visualize. Talk to the audience clearly and at the end state the important point as a summary. 


How to make a good presentation?
  • Think about the presentation beforehand. 
  • Do use PowerPoint if you can make use of this facility.
  • Face the audience at all times while speaking and use hands, face to express ideas. 
  • Be very clear about how much time you have and stick to that time and talk the essential things only while making humor. 
  • E-mail the presentation to somebody to correct that before you present.
  • Ensure that the slides look good which is not surprising the audience.
  • Each slide should have a heading and the below should explain that.
  • Make use of appropriate pictures, videos at the correct time.           (Rogerdarlington.me, 2012)

Preparing the talk
This takes lots of time than reading through a book as need to speak slowly and clearly in the presentation.Prepare the speech where you can deliver the presentation at a reasonably slow pace. Divide the materials into the essential points that you can definitely them at the correct time. Prepare a strong summary at the end of the talk. Break techniques into sections and give a heading to each of them. 
While preparing and delivering the talk presenter should be focus on the audience  and the materials should be  presented with enthusiasm and energy. 


Using electronic aids
