Most people have to give a presentation(展示)at some point in their lives. But not everyone knows how to give one well.
The art of giving a great presentation begins with planning. This should be more than just showing facts. Maybe you want to inspire people or to persuade(说服) them of an opinion. Whatever you're trying to do, share your message in one to three points.
Once you know your presentation's goal, you can start planning it. If you are doing a slideshow(幻灯片), remember the 10-20-30 rule. The slideshow should last no more than 20 minutes. And the slides should use 30-point font(字体)or larger. This stops you from putting too many words on slides. Your slideshow should add to, not replace, what you say aloud.
To relax yourself, remember to breathe deeply, and imagine the presentation going well. Think of your feelings as your body's way of giving you energy to do a great job. Remember why your topic is important and how it can help people. If you act excitedly about your presentation, your listeners will feel excited, too.
