关于presentation 的suggestion:

先看一段对话：

NARRATOR: Kazuo Matsumoto and Jong Park are having breakfast at a small diner in Chicago.

Listen as Jong offers Kazuo some tips for improving his next presentation.

JONG: That was a great breakfast. I think maybe I'll have to skip lunch today.

So tell me more about your presentation.

KAZUO: Well, I began by telling a joke.

I know that Americans often do this to reduce the tension, but the joke seemed to fall flat.

It was a bit unsettling.

JONG: Don't worry. It probably wasn't nearly as much of a blunder as you think. Go on.

KAZUO: I regained my composure and moved on to a brief slide presentation and then to the body of my talk.

But I felt I wasn't making my points clearly enough.

A couple of people interrupted to ask questions before I was finished.

JONG: I can see why you were frustrated, but the truth of the matter is that they probably understood your points very well.

But some Americans can be impatient, and they also thrive on interactivity.

Sometimes interruptions actually mean you're reaching them.

KAZUO: Very strange.

JONG: And though you may have heard that including a joke can help you gain rapport with the audience, a joke is not the only way.

In fact, I've found that until you understand the culture better, it's best to avoid jokes.

KAZUO: Yes, now I wish I had.

So next time I'll skip the joke and start with the slide presentation.

JONG: That's probably a good idea.

Visual aids add a lot to a presentation.

But whether or not you use visual aids , the first few minutes of the presentation are the most crucial.

That's when you need to get your audience's attention and make them feel comfortable.

KAZUO: I can see that. So how is this done?

JONG: Well, t he most important thing is to familiarize yourself with your audience.

Then adapt your approach accordingly.

One technique to get their attention is to start off with a story or anecdote.

You can also give them a problem to think about.

Amaze them with facts.

Anything you do to establish rapport at the beginning will make you feel more confident.

KAZUO: And how can I make my presentation clearer?

JONG: Make sure you use transitions to move smoothly between your ideas.

It might also be helpful to provide handouts that recap your main ideas.

KAZUO: I see. There's so much to think about.

Thank you very much for your tips, Jong.

I think I know where I need to focus when I revise my presentation for tomorrow.

JONG: I'm happy to help.
