Business presentations (III)

Introduction

In today´s lesson, we are going to focus on finishing the planning stage of our five minute presentations. So far, we have prepared the introduction. We are now going to focus on the main bidy and conclusion. Let´s begin!

 

Main Body

The structure of the main body is not as rigid as the introduction or conclusion. However, it is extremely important that you guide the listener through the main body. Therefore, you need to use "sing posting" words/phrases. These words/phrases tell the listener exactly what you have done and what you are going to do.

When you planned your introduction in Lesson 18, you gave an outline of your presentation.

For a five minute presentation you can talk about two/three points in your main body (one minute on each area). As you are talking about acompany that you worked for, there are many things you could talk about. Look at the list below; pick one idea from topic 1, and one from topic 2 and 3, and plan your introduction and main body on these areas.
