A presentation is the key to making your message clear, whether youre in an interview or giving a talk in front of the class. Here are some ways to give presentations.Control your nervesFor years, Sally Chopping, a speech coach for the company Acting for Business, had feared the day she would draw a blank during a presentation. Then one day during a 45-minute speech, it happened she forgot what she was going to say. To help her get back on track（恢复正常）, Chopping asked the audience（观众）to look at the handout and tell her what topic was up next. At the end of her presentation, audience members gave her top marks for organization. What they care about is what you are going to do about it, Chopping said. My nervousness went away when I just thought, How is my speech going to help the audience? Once you do that, you will not be afraid.Be preparedDoug Carter is the founder of Canada-based presentation skills training company Presentations Etc. When possible, he gets to the location of his presentation the day before to make sure all the electronic helpers work. He wants to ensure the screen, lighting and computer all work properly. Most of the time it works, but one time it doesnt, youre dangerous, he says. In addition, build an exit（退场）plan before you present. Having a point of your main idea helps when getting to the end, or if you are given an unexpected five-minute warning.Engage the audienceWhether youve got a one-on-one talk or a speech in front of 400 people, think story-telling. Sometimes all it takes is a few seconds to connect an audience member with a story, according to Eric English, a communication teacher at the University of Pittsburgh in the US. Moreover, the hardest thing for people to do is to say nothing, although it can be a nice tool. If youve got something people should read, pause（暂停）and let them read it. One thing that shocks people back into attention is to leave an almost uncomfortably long pause, he said. Theyve been used to hearing this voice and all of a sudden it is, Oh, no, what did I miss? That reminds them and brings them back to the speaker.32 .
