在学习与工作中,经常需要我们用英文做一些主题展示,或表达思想,或介绍经验,或推广品牌... ... Presentation既像演讲,又不同于演讲,同在于都需要良好的语言组织能力和表达沟通技巧,异在于,相比于演讲的某些渲染效果,Presentation对于信息传达的精准性和简洁性要求更高,目的性更强,往往还会借助PPT这一媒介。因此,不论是在课堂还是工作中,能做好一个英文Presentation的能力都极为重要。

继上两期内容之后,今天,英语君继续大家介绍做Presentation内容方面的注意事项。

大多数的presentation包括三大块和提问部分

在做presentation的过程中,“重复”是非常重要的,重复的黄金法则是

Say what you are going to say...
第一遍,说你将要说什么

say it...
第二遍,正式开始说

then say what you have just said.
第三遍,重复刚刚说的内容

这就是传说中的 重要的事说三遍。。。

换句话说,就是把同一个观点在上述的三大板块中都说一遍,即提出,介绍,总结。

下面,我们就这三大板块具体介绍一下

This is the first impression that your audience have of you. You should concentrate on getting your introduction right.

一般引入部分有四个目的:

4. Inviting questions

Now I'll try to answer any questions you may have.

Questions 提问部分

It may be helpful for you to try to predict what questions will be asked so that you can prepare your response in advance. You may wish to accept questions at any time during your presentation, or to keep a time for questions after your presentation. Normally, it's your decision, and you should make it clear during the introduction. Be polite with all questioners, even if they ask difficult questions. Sometimes you can reformulate a question. Or answer the question with another question. Or even ask for comment from the rest of the audience.
可以事先准备一些问题的答案。你可以在presentation的任何一个过程中接受提问,但是应该事先向观众表达清楚。即使面对相对困难或刁钻的问题,也要礼貌回应,你可以重新组织一个问题,把提问引到你熟悉的领域,也可以用其它问题的答案回答不同的问题。征求一下台下观众的看法也是可行的。
