Oral Presentations for Bachillerato

Oral presentations typically involve three important steps: 

1) planning,

2) practising,

3) presenting. 

Make also sure your presentation covers the following: introduction, main body and conclusion.

Practice, Practice, Practice: 

• Practice as much as possible to achieve an easy delivery.
• Do not read your talk or memorize it.
• Concentrate only on the main points. Ignore details. 
• Try to make your presentation lively and interesting. This does not mean telling jokes and anecdotes. But if you can think of interesting or amusing examples to illustrate your argument, use them.
• Write out everything you have to say, including examples etc. Rehearse what you are going to say until you are happy with it.

Organize your ideas:

• present the topic.
• give your opinion on the topic. 
• express (dis)advantages. 
• link and sequence ideas.
• end with a clear summary or conclusion.
