Presentation Sample: Socio-economics

Here is a set of well-constructed presentation scripts and slides. I made this a few years ago, so some ideas may not seem very updated. The length can be from 12 to 15 minutes.

________________________________

Slide 1

Hi everyone. I’d like to show you something that I think it’s really fascinating. It’s  AEC or the ASEAN Economic Community. Some of you may think that it’s so abstract, intangible, and so far away that it may not do anything to your life. But today, I’ll change your mind!  

________________________________

Slide 2

Have you heard about this Asean 2015 before? Some may say yes, some may say no. Well, when I talk to most of my friends about it, they’ll go like…what? what is it? Is it a name of a person? Mr. Asean? Or is it a place? Can we go there? No…not really. But all of these questions show that a lot of Thai people are still not well aware of this fascinating event which will have a great impact to their lives. So, today, I'd like to raise your awareness to see how fascinating Asean 2015 can be.

________________________________

Slide 3

I’ve divided my presentation into three parts. I’ll start by giving you an overview of Asean 2015. And then, I’ll move on to what benefits we can exploit from it. How great it is! And finally, I’ll discuss about how to prepare ourselves to welcome this amazing phenomenon effectively. If you have any comments or questions, I’ll be more than happy to share my ideas with you at the end of my talk.

________________________________

Slide 4

Well, Asean is not a name of anyone nor is it a place anywhere. It is actually a virtual collaboration among all 10 countries in Southeast Asia. Its purpose is to boost the regional stability in politics, economics, and society. So, basically, Asean can improve our well-being.

  ______________________________

Slide 5

Well, we might compare Asean to the EU. We all know the EU, right? European Union. It is composed of a lot of nations in Europe and uses a common currency which is “euro” Likewise, here in Southeast Asia, we also have a similar regional cooperation called “the Asean Community” and, frankly, we are just following the EU

________________________________

Slide 6

by implementing the free trade area or, in short, “Asean 2015” which will be effective in three years. It is a long term process which takes a lot of time and efforts, but in the future, we may be using our own Asean money like euros instead of Thai Baht. So, obviously, there are a lot of impacts to all of us, right?

________________________________

Slide 7

The first benefit would be that we will have greater power to bargain with other countries. Let’s see. For instance, if I’m just a poor, little boy with limited resources. I would feel very weak and worthless if I have to go and fight with a big and strong man who’s a champion in wrestling. I would know instantly that I’m gonna lose. But, if I team up with my friends, I would have more power, more confidence, more visions to fight with that big man. So, I might have a better chance to win.

________________________________

Slide 8

Just like Asean, Thailand or Malaysia, or the Philippines alone is a small country, but if we team up together, we are stronger. And we will have more power to negotiate with stronger nations like China or the United States.

________________________________

Slide 9

Economy wise, with the theme of Asean as a Free Trade Area, the import and export will flourish because there would be no more taxes or tariffs. This is really fascinating. It’s like having duty free shops everywhere and everyone can buy the product without having to travel outside the country. My sister is doing a cosmetic business and a lot of them have to be imported, some from Singapore. And she always complains about the cost for shipment and the tax, which could be very high. So, she has to put a lot of money on the investment. Imagine if she doesn’t have to pay for that tax anymore, she’ll make more profits. And this would make her really happy.

________________________________

Slide 10

Social wise, we’ll have more freedom. Because of the Free Trade Area again, there would be a free flow of human resources. That means people can travel and work freely without a visa or work permit within any Asean countries. So who knows? In three years from now, one of us in this room could be working in Singapore, Malaysia or Vietnam. Or we can live in Thailand, but commute to Singapore to work.

________________________________

Slide 11

And vise versa, there would be a lot of people from other Asean countries coming to work with us here. So, we’ll be living in a more multicultural environment with more opportunities, and more alternatives both in private and professional lives. Isn’t that great?

________________________________

Slide 12

Now, let’s come to the point how we should prepare ourselves to this up and coming event. Well, first of all, congratulations! We’ve come to the right place here in this class to improve our English because it is /the/ official language of Asean. Or we may also learn one or more of other Asean local languages such as Chinese, Malay, or Cambodian.

________________________________

Slide 13

Apart from the language proficiency, we can also improve our professional skills and efficiencies. I can tell you, there will be a lot more competitions, so we need to raise our standard to meet the international bar. I have a friend in Singapore. His name is Simon. He’s an accountant, and you know what? At the moment he’s studying Thai commercial laws because he plans to move to Thailand, to work and live here. Well, normally accounting positions in Thailand are reserved only for Thai citizens. But after 2015, this rule will not work anymore because of the Free Trade Area. That means, local Thai accountants must work harder…much harder, to compete with someone like Simon who has a background in international accounting with knowledge in Thai commercial laws. He also speaks fluent English. He’s shark. He’s someone to beat. So, if we are aware of this situation, we can prepare ourselves for it. To be one step ahead of others can give us a great advantage to compete for victory.

________________________________

Slide 14

To sum up, Asean 2015 is really happening and it’s gonna affect a lot of us in many ways from political, economy, or social aspects. So, we should get ourselves ready by improving our proficiency both in languages and technical skills. Start now, today, right this second because three years isn’t that long. Thank you.

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.

Slide 2

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.

So, if you ever think about taking diet pills to lose weight, please think of me. And more importantly, think of yourself! Thank you.
