Good afternoon, everyone. We’re group one. Our members are Lisa, Finn and
Arina. Our topic is Money, and we’re going to talk about (Here you can make an
interesting opening.) So ladies and gentleman, our topic is: “How to be the master of
money”. We will divide our presentation into four parts. This is overview.
The first part is a small quiz (for what purpose?) (let our audience know their
habit of spending money.)The second part is famous investors of the world. The third
part is managing money. The last is Investment. Now, let me ask you some questions.
Please raise your hand and answer yes or no.
Let’s go! The first question is “Have you ever imagined that you would become a
rich person?” The second question is “Do you know what you spend on the most?”
The third question is “Do you know how to manage your money?” The next one is
“Have you ever kept a spending diary before?” The last one is “Do you know what
Certificate of deposit is?” (Why you asked these questions? Show your audience the
reasons here.)(they can think about the answer and their self. )
After finishing these questions, let’s move on to the next part. Now I am going
to introduce two successful investors to you. (Why? Because they can be good
examples to us if we would like to be rich? You also need the connection here.)(they
are the sample to be rich.)
The first investor I want to introduce is Warren Edward Buffett. He is an American
business magnate, investor and philanthropist. The reason why I want to introduce
him is that he was the most successful investor of the 20th century. He consistently
ranked among the world's wealthiest people. In 2012, Buffett was named one of the
world's most influential people. In 2008, he was ranked by Forbes as the richest
person in the world with an estimated approximately US$62 billion. In 2009, after
donating billions of dollars to charity, Buffett was ranked as the second richest man in
the United States. Only Bill Gates ranked higher than Buffett. The main reason why
he can become so rich is that he has been a securities analyst. Because of this, his
own company goes well and helps him earn lots of money.
The second investor I want to introduce is Gou Tai-ming. He is a Taiwanese who is
the founder and the chairman of Foxconn, a company that manufactures electronics
on contract for other companies such as Apple. It is the largest electronics
manufacturing services company in the world, with factories in several countries,
mostly in mainland China. He founded Hon Hai in Taiwan in 1974. In 1988, he opened
his first factory in the mainland China, in Shenzhen, where his largest factory remains
today. He now owns 13% of the public company and was ranked 239th on Forbes
magazine's 2013 list of the world's richest people. The main reason why he can be so
rich is that he is an aggressive salesman; he usually goes ahead of others. He always
does things really aggressively and can catch the most appropriate time to catch new
opportunities and develop a new era.( Manage your money is also a important
condition to be so rich like them.)
(What is the transition between the investors and this part? Please give one
sentence to connect them.) Next, managing money. We have two main points of it.
The first one is write a budget planner. You can have several items such as monthly
income, monthly saving, monthly paid for food, travel and leisure. You must set a
goal: how much you can spend every month, and then reach the goal. If you spend
over your budget, you should check where your money goes and reschedule it. The
second main point is keeping a spending diary. You can use your smartphone to
download the apps about bookkeeping or carry a brochure with you. The tip is “write
down, right away”. Remember you have to write it down before you forget it.
After introducing the way of managing money, I’d like to talk about the last part,
investment. Only when you know how to manage your money can you save it, and
then do the investment. I suggest students choose the certificate of deposit. It is
simple and guaranteed. There are three advantages about certificate of deposit. First,
it is issued by the bank; therefore, you don’t have to worry that your money will be
taken. Second, time deposit can avoid you spending on what you want but it’s
unnecessary. Third, it has fixed interest. Although the interest is not that much, it still
the money you earn it.
We have introduced the famous investors of the world, the way of managing
money and investment to you. In conclusion, we hope that you guys can give it a try.
Thank you for your listening!
Dear Arina, Finn, and Lisa,
This is an interesting draft with solid supporting examples. I am sure the audience
will learn a lot from the tips you offer them. My suggestion is that make transitions
and connections whenever is necessary, as the red marks I added in parenthesis.
Omit those I marked in yellow. And don’t forget to introduce the next partner when
she is about to continue. (For example, “Now let’s welcome Lisa and she will show us
the significance of saving money.”) I am looking forward to your presentation! Good
luck!
