Below are some helpful tips on how to be successful in this task.
For a successful presentation you should;
1. Produce a structured presentation with an introduction
to your topic.
2. Include relevant images that apply to your chosen topic.
3. Keep to the point and ensure that what you say is
relevant and to the point. (A maximum of 10 slides)
4. Make sure that each person has a part to say in the
presentation or a role.
5. Make sure that text used on each slide is short and
concise. Try to avoid copying and pasting huge amounts
of text.
6. Make sure that all texts and images are clear and
readable.
7. Try and keep eye contact with the audience and avoid
staring at the ceiling, floor, at the presentation or notes
for too long.
8. Make sure that your voice is audible and avoid talking in
a monotone, too fast or too slow.

enthusiastic.
