在國(guó)外留學(xué)，不免會(huì)遇到presentation，由于很多同學(xué)在表達(dá)這一塊作業(yè)中處于弱勢(shì)階段，被拉開(kāi)分?jǐn)?shù)差距。那么如何做好Presentation呢?本文小編就為大家?guī)?lái)寫(xiě)作方法。

How to choose an interesting presentation topic?

你的大部分presentation都將由你選擇的主題來(lái)決定，這使其成為準(zhǔn)備工作的關(guān)鍵部分。擁有最適合你的topic至關(guān)重要。

Choose a topic that you know.

提出不在你的專業(yè)知識(shí)范圍內(nèi)的主題并不容易，因此不要讓自己陷入這種困境。你的主題應(yīng)該是你熱衷的話題，并且不會(huì)給你帶來(lái)困難。這樣，你才更有可能激發(fā)觀眾的興趣。

Choose a topic that suits the occasion.

該主題應(yīng)適合該場(chǎng)合。如果是academic presentation，那應(yīng)該是教育性的。避免有爭(zhēng)議的主題和與場(chǎng)景和受眾背道而馳的主題。

Choose a topic that suits your audience.

通過(guò)選擇一個(gè)眾所周知的話題來(lái)吸引觀眾的好奇心。你可以通過(guò)統(tǒng)計(jì)觀眾來(lái)做到這一點(diǎn)。如果你要在課堂上演講，那么你的聽(tīng)眾很可能是大學(xué)生和您的教授。

找到你的教授和同學(xué)都會(huì)比較享受的話題，并是他們可以從中得出啟示。

Choose a topic that fulfills the presentation’s purpose.

如果你想persuade 和 entertain，請(qǐng)選擇一個(gè)可以實(shí)現(xiàn)該目的的主題。你希望你的presentation在聽(tīng)眾身上留下難以磨滅的想法，如果是這樣，那么你的presentation就已經(jīng)完成了。

What makes an interesting presentation?

好的presentation并不僅僅取決于主題。如果你發(fā)現(xiàn)自己對(duì)公開(kāi)演講不那么自信，則可能會(huì)感到困惑。

在準(zhǔn)備和發(fā)表presentation時(shí)，請(qǐng)考慮以下注意事項(xiàng)，以使其更有趣，更有效，而不必過(guò)多擔(dān)心舞臺(tái)恐懼和在大觀眾面前講話。

Design your presentation and use infographics.

你的PowerPoint Presentation不應(yīng)該只是屏幕上的文字，而應(yīng)富有創(chuàng)造力并在其中添加一些美感?；ㄒ恍r(shí)間使你的presentation盡可能有吸引力。

當(dāng)然，從觀眾的角度來(lái)看，不要過(guò)度渲染以至于無(wú)法理解你的presentation，這一點(diǎn)也很重要。當(dāng)你提供討論的要點(diǎn)時(shí)，請(qǐng)使用infographics 和images，以使其內(nèi)容更豐富，更專業(yè)。

Be eloquent by using simple words.

使用適當(dāng)?shù)脑~語(yǔ)不僅會(huì)使您受益，也會(huì)使你的聽(tīng)眾受益。利用你已經(jīng)知道如何發(fā)音和使用的單詞，使你的演示文稿更流暢，更易理解。避免使用聽(tīng)眾可能連聽(tīng)都不懂的highfalutin單詞。

Dedicate time for questions and discussions.

Presentations不僅是你要講話，而且是與聽(tīng)眾之間的討論。如果你的聽(tīng)眾沉迷于您的presentation中，他們可能會(huì)向你提出問(wèn)題。準(zhǔn)備回答這些問(wèn)題并參與令人回味的對(duì)話。很好地了解你的主題，這對(duì)你來(lái)說(shuō)會(huì)更容易。
