SPEECH IN ENGLISH

Speaking in front of a large audience is always difficult. You have already imagined how clearly, interestingly and consistently you express your thoughts, how people applaud you and your brilliant ideas. What is really going on? You are nervous, afraid, and all your theses disappear somewhere. But everything is not so scary. The ability to present your thoughts is based on a few simple and logical truths.

First, you need to compose your speech. For this:

  •                analyze what you want to say to your audience and formulate your idea;
  •                use simple and understandable language so that you can easily imagine what you are talking about;
  •                do not be afraid to give examples, tell real cases or even joke - people love to laugh;
  •                at the end of the presentation, do not forget to draw conclusions and repeat the main idea again.

Second, you need to develop visual aids for your presentation:

  •                one slide should describe only one idea;
  •                use pictures for your presentation - it helps the audience to better imagine what you are talking about;
  •                if you use tables, make them as accessible and clear as possible;
  •                the font should be large so that even from the back rows the slides are easy to read;
  •                keep track of the timing of your presentation.

Third, prepare yourself well:

  •                You should know your speech well and understand the material - you should not sight-read, it is better to speak by establishing eye contact with the audience.

The following phrases will help you prepare to speak in English:
