Business English for Connecting your Presentation to your Audience 1

歡迎回到 技能 360 for today’s lesson on how to connect with your audience during a presentation.

You’ve probably heard all sorts of advice about delivering a good 介紹. But at the end of the day, every single presentation strategy is designed for one thing: connecting with the audience. 實際上, if you don’t connect with your audience, you might as well pack up your PowerPoint and head home. You need to build a bridge to send your message across. No bridge, no message. And don’t think you need to be an easy-going extrovert to connect with an audience. This is something that you can learn to do well.

BEP 276 - 英語演講技巧 3

Welcome back to Business English Pod for today’s lesson on wrapping up a 英文演講.

Some people say that the start of a presentation is the most important part. That’s where you grab people’s attention and give them a reason to listen. But the end of your presentation is just as important. If you do a great job of engaging your audience but then have a weak finish, they’ll walk away with a bad last impression. And you want to avoid that at all costs.

So what exactly is involved in a good conclusion to a presentation? What do you need to do to make sure people walk away feeling that they learned something, they want to buy something, or they agree with you?

今天, we’ll learn some great ways to do just that. We’ll look at a variety of 英文介紹 techniques such as summarizing key ideas, closing inspirationally, and opening up for questions. We’ll also learn how to connect your ideas with the big picture and wrap up at the end of the presentation.

在本課中, we’ll hear how two different speakers finish their presentations. The first speaker is Nick, a recruiter for a medical supplies company. He’s been trying to convince potential recruits that his company is great to work for. In the second dialog we’ll hear Diane, who’s finishing up a report about her company’s third quarter financial statements.

聽力問題

1. In his summary, Nick mentions several topics that he covered. 這些是什麼?
2. To inspire his listeners, what does Nick ask them to think about?
3. What does Diane say is the company’s larger vision?

BEP 275 - 英語演講技巧 2

歡迎回到 商務英語播客 for today’s lesson on delivering an engaging and organized presentation.

Getting up in front of a room full of people to give a 英文演講 can be a difficult task. Whether you’re reporting information or trying to convince people to buy something, you need to catch their attention. Then you need to keep it. And at the end of it all, you want them to walk away feeling like they learned something, or they agree with you, or they want to buy what you’re trying to sell them.

當然, it might seem difficult, but there are skills you can learn to make it much easier. Several techniques in both presentation and delivery can help ensure an engaging 英文介紹 that will wow your listeners.

在今天的課程中, we’ll take a closer look at some of these techniques, including asking people to imagine a situation in order to persuade them, and focusing on the “why” behind your ideas rather than the “what.” We’ll also learn how you can use a single thread throughout your presentation and how you can transition between ideas. And finally we’ll cover how to check in with your listeners and add emphasis.

Today we’ll hear two short dialogs from different presentations. 在第一, we’ll rejoin a recruiter called Nick who is presenting to some potential recruits for a medical supplies company. 在第二, we’ll hear finance manager Diane continue with a report about her company’s quarterly financial results.

聽力問題

1. What does Nick ask his listeners to imagine?
2. What is the key idea that Nick keeps coming back to?
3. After talking about fuel savings, what does Diane do before moving on to her next idea?

Welcome back to Business English Pod for today’s lesson on getting your 英文介紹 off to a good start.

We all know a skilled presenter when we see one. It’s a person who catches our interest right away and connects with the audience. He gives us the information we need without droning on and putting us to sleep. He’s clear about his purpose, he’s organized, and he answers our questions.

But most skilled presenters weren’t born with those skills. They learned to be good presenters. And you can learn the same skills in order to inform, persuade, or motivate any audience. 在今天的 英文介紹 課, we’ll take a closer look at some great techniques you can use at the start of a presentation. We’ll learn how to get started, build rapport with the audience, and introduce a single key idea that can run throughout your presentation. We’ll also cover how to state your purpose and headline your key ideas.

當然, your approach to a presentation might be different depending on your audience. So today we will hear two short dialogs from the start of two different 英文演講. 在第一, we’ll hear a recruiter named Nick, who works for a medical supplies company. He’s giving a presentation to a group of potential recruits at a university. 在第二個對話框中, we’ll hear a finance manager named Diane giving an internal presentation about her company’s third quarter financial statements.

聽力問題

1. What question does Nick ask his audience at the start of his presentation?
