Presentation Sample 01355113

Good content, organization, visual aids, and delivery are the keys to creating an effective presentation. 

Not only should the content interest the audience, it should also reflect yourself or your work. Moreover, it should be relevant and able to connect with the audience. As a result, you will be able to design and manage your talk thoroughly and with ease. 

The next component is organization. It should be well constructed. Generally, it should begin with introduction (greeting the audience, introducing yourself, stating your purpose, drawing attention, and giving the preview of the talk). The body should be presented according to the preview. Don't forget to link each idea with transitional words to help the audience know what to expect. A summary may also be added after the body. It can be done be briefly restate each idea in the body. The last part is the conclusion where a final remark can be brought up for the audience to think about your talk even after your have finished your talk. What they actually gain from your presentation.   

Apart from good content and organization, visual aids can play an important role in expressing your ideas. A few tips of how to make good slides include having minimal text (7-9 words per slide) and meaningful pictures (1-2 pics per slide) to convey your message to the audience. Moreover, each slide should be understandable within three seconds. 

Finally, delivery is also a very important factor to determine success or failure of your presentation. Good delivery can make a well-organized presentation even better. Likewise, it can also make a well-organized presentation go wrong. The key to producing good delivery is to be confident, to keep eye contact with audience, and to maintain positive attitude. These can be achieved by multiple rehearsals. Remember to practice, practice, and practice until you are confident and comfortable with it.    

Here are examples of scripts and slides for a 10-minute talk. The topic is "Bee Loves Food."

______________________________________
Slide 1

Hi everyone. I am Bee and I’m going to tell you about one side of me. It’s my love for food. I enjoyed eating so much that it sometimes ruined my life and my health, especially my shape but more importantly my self-esteem. I’ll begin by telling you my tragedy caused by food, and then, I’ll move on to how it affected my life, and finally, how I fought with it.

Well, have you guys been on a diet before or at least had a thought about it? I’m sure many of you would say yes. So welcome to the club.

Slide 3

Now, let’s see what caused the problem! Well, I was a kind of person who couldn't stock the fridge at all because everything would just magically disappear in a night. My weight went up and down depending on my mental condition. When I was depressed, I ate. It was not the best solution at all. But I was happy at the time.

Slide 4

When I ate, I felt so special, so powerful as if I was a great giant eating up the entire world. My stress was gone, but only for a short time.

Slide 5

Until one day, when I looked into a mirror, I thought I saw someone else and I said “Who’s that blob?” Eww…That was me! And that was my wake up call. What’s even worse was when I went to my wardrobe, I couldn’t find a thing to wear. Everything was so small. I had become a real giant. I practically became a victim of my own eating spree.

Slide 6

And you know what? To solve the problem, I chose the quickest and strongest way by taking diet pills. Now, the real tragedy began. Because I was so depressed, I took two different formulas of pills, one to burn the fat, and one to suppress my brain not to think that I was hungry. It worked! Marvelously! It was incredible! After three months I lost 20 kgs. And another 10 in the next three months. So, all together I lost 30 kgs. in just half a year! It was unbelievable! All my friends and my colleagues were so amazed with the result. But actually, you know what?  It kind of ruined my life both physically and mentally.

Slide 7

Because my brain thought that I was not hungry, I ate so little like a piece of sushi a day. So, of course, I had no energy to do anything.

Slide 8

Besides, I was always constipated. My stomach, my liver and all of my inner organs did not function very well. That was just terrible all around!
______________________________________
Slide 9

Emotionally, I was so fragile as if I was standing at the edge of the cliff ready to be blown away only by a soft touch of wind. The pills caused me a very difficult time to sleep. I only had like a few hours sleep if I was lucky. So, I was very cranky and emotional. This affected my performance at work a lot. Many times I just smashed glasses onto the tray table when I served drinks to the passengers. As a result, I had a lot of complain letters. So, trust me, all of these tortures worth nothing comparing to the negative results you would get in the end.  

______________________________________
Slide 10

So, I stopped taking the pills and turned to do exercise more regularly. This time I took it slow. I started to eat more healthy food like fruit and vegetables which contain a lot of fiber to fight my constipation. So I became happier. No more cranky and moody faces. My point here is that no matter what your excuses are, if you take diet pills to lose weight. You’ll end up having troubles in one way or another. It will never work in a long term.

Slide 11

The most important thing is your mind! You have to be strong, open-minded, and learn how to be happy with yourself. Stop blaming yourself coz everybody makes mistakes and no one is perfect anyway. Optimism is the key to the healthy stage of mind. And once your mind’s strong and stable, you can control your month and your appetite. Try to motivate yourself to do exercise. It’s not only good for your shape, but also for your health as a whole.
