Activity 4.2
1. You may not reach the place on time
because you may not know the way.
The most familiar ones to us are the Internet and the library.
Once you have spoken, your audience will not have an opportunity to
rewind and hear what you have said.
During a typical presentation, almost everyone listens in the beginning. The
attention drops to around 10% 20% halfway through the presentation.
So, do keep in mind your audience, their listening limitations and possible
distractions when you prepare your speech.
1. The speaker can simplistically believe that the audience has all the
background knowledge they need to appreciate what he/she is speaking
on. This is seldom the case.
3. Visual aids are confusing, inadequate, unreadable and too small to follow.
Sometimes, the PowerPoint slides are shown too quickly.
4. The speaker uses very long and difficult sentences, unnecessary jargon
and/or abbreviations.
6. The speaker uses monotonous sentences that are spoken too fast or
too slowly, have unclear pronunciation and lack emphasis.
The sequence of the main idea and supporting ideas should be in such a
way that it would help the audience follow the presentation effectively.
As you develop your approach, keep in mind that one advantage of using the
oral presentation.
Try to limit the number of supporting ideas to three or four.medium is that
you can adjust your outline if you need to.
Preparing the outline
1. State your purpose and the main idea.
Now look at another format of an outline that has many of the pointer
above.
The title of the outline is Commuter- mediated communication is just as
useful or even more effective than face-to-face communication.
1. In Japan, attitudes towards marriage
are changing.
Adults today are not getting enough
sleep
Schools in Australia and Japan are

Introduction
a. Attention Material/Credibility Material
How would you feel if you want something that you cannot
live without? My brother was only 15 years old when he found
out that he needed a new kidney. He was unable to get a donor
for two years. Just last December, the family of an accident
victim decided to donate his organs and his kidney was a good
match. Not all stories end this way, though.
2.2 Fill in a form and you will receive a donor card. This card
will indicate what organs you wish to donate.
3. Organ donation benefits both the donors family
and the recipients.

Conclusion
Your introduction creates an important first impression.
Your conclusion leaves an equally important final
impression. Unfortunately, many speakers pay less
attention to their conclusions than to any other part of
their speeches. This can result in awkward final seconds
of stumbling for words that may be followed by hesitant
applause from an audience that is not even sure that the
speech is over and that is not the best way to leave
people who have come to listen to you.
Hence, do remember that there are four things that you
have to do to conclude effectively:
4. Provide closure.
Another effective way is to close with a dramatic and
appropriate statement based on emotional appeal.
Examples of this kind of a speech conclusion could be:
4. State a slogan " transform your central motto, idea or principle into
an easy-to-remember one-liner.
At the completion of your presentation, your audience should feel
satisfied. Do compose your closing remarks naturally and close
on a positive note. An emphatic closing will help your listeners to
remember you and your talk favourably.
2. Let the audience know your viewpoint at the beginning of your talk and
provide some supporting evidence.
They further emphasise that good posture suggests poise and confidence as well
as stand neither at rigid attention nor with sloppy casualness draped over the
podium, but erect with your weight about equally distributed on each foot when
you speak.

of your presentation.

Overcoming nervousness and anxiety
If you are nervous about facing an audience or get butterflies in your
stomach before a presentation, you are not alone. Nearly everyone
experiences speech anxiety or stage fright. For some individuals, their
entire body shakes; for others, their hands will experience tremors.
That is why you need back-up supplies and a back-up plan in case
your best-laid plans go awry. If things fall apart as they sometimes
will, do your best to keep talking and do not offer lengthy
apologies.

2. technical
3. layout
4. distracted
5. proofread
Creating effective slides
As told to you earlier, visuals should focus the viewers on the essential
elements of your presentation. To do so effectively, you should use short
phrases and sentences.
If the reader does not get the point within 5 seconds of seeing the visuals,
then they are not effective.
The next important thing is to keep the visuals relevant
and simple. If your visuals are cluttered and/or difficult
to read, your audience can be distracted. So, do not
overload your slides.
How many slides should you
include for a presentation? The
general rule of thumb is an average
of about 1 minute per slide. A slide
deserves at least 10 seconds and
no more than 100.
As a rule, it is better to enlarge figures and simplify them for projection.
Any lines that are used should be thick. Outlining figures in black to
enhance their shape is a wise thing to do. Judicious use of colour adds
impact to meaning of speech. It should be used to emphasise and not to
confuse listeners. Bold contrasts can be used to enhance legibility and
make it easier for the audience to quickly see and read them.
Weddings today are bigger and more expensive than they were in the past.
Why is this the case? What are the pros and cons of an expensive wedding?
Write the speech that you will be making to the
prospective brides and grooms. Your speech
must be about 500-600 words. It is important
for you to cite and quote appropriately.
