H Henry
A : Hello, Henry. How’s next week’s presentation coming along? H : Hi, Alex. Actually, not too great. I’m not sure how to get started. Any advice? 1
A : Well, there are three core areas to concentrate2 on: content, design and delivery. For the first part, you need to do your research, organize your points, and then create an outline. H : OK. Then I guess the design part is deciding about the software and graphics I use.
A : First is “purpose.” What is your subject and why will it benefit the target group? Next is “people.” How much do the listeners know and what information do they need? Finally, “place” is important. Identify the room and equipment you’ll be using.
