Today, I work on Presentation Skills. We need to present is because nowadays giving presentation are the inherent part of everybody’s work. The purpose of Presentation is to inform listener. Example is, to increase their understanding of the topic that we present but do not want to change their opinion. Other than that is to persuade listeners or change their attitude about some subject.
Many type of presentation. Example is presenting our research report at conferences, seminar, defending thesis or dissertation, presenting a report of case studies, project, reviews and others. Usually, presentation is done individually or in a group.
Before presentation we must have to prepare to make sure our presentation going smoothly. Our topic is also one of the important things. We must try to choose familiar topic, easy to determine the purpose, inform or persuade the audience. Our presentation also have together with materials, example is journal as a prove to make our support in our ideas.
Other factor presentation skills are organizing our presentation, to make our presentation looks regular arranged. Introduction, body and conclusion are a draft to make our presentation regulated nicely and look in order. It also to avoid mistake in arrange the part of content in our presentation.
In introduction, we must get the attention and interest of our audience. We must state the importance of our topic because to sweeping the audience about our topic of presentation. Other than that, we can also startle the audience or to give a surprise to the audience example is play a video, game, 3D animation and so on to make their attention. Give them a question to adjust their ears like “have you take your breakfast? Did you hungry? And I’m hungry also”. We can also tell the story or something else that can attract the audience.
Main point of body must be clear and relevant. Our language also must be clear and accurate to easy audience understands what we want to talk about. Other than that is use familiar words, example is incessant-constant; perilous-dangerous; highwayman-burglar. We must also choose a concrete words to give more audience understand what we want to present. We also can use effective transitions, example is “Now we have seen the causes of lung cancer, let’s look at its effect on the person involved”. After that, we use, first cause, second cause, final cause and so on, to make our opinion in the rank. So, we can make audience more understand what we want to explain on. At last, prepare audience for conclusion. Conclude our presentation with reinforce our main points.
The other skills or tips to delivering our presentation are methods, which are use specialty that have. Beside that is speaker’s voice not to rush and not go and just read. That will be incur bored the audience. Don’t ever give back to the audience. Speaker’s body must be careful. We also must wear smartly when ever you go to presentation. It’s also known as respect to the audience. Lastly, give the question and answer the question between audience and speakers.
My most important concern is how to decrease our nervous. Dr.Affendi advice us to practice a day before the presentation. The best place is where the presentation will be going on. Other than that is making a joke either one r two jokes. That also can help us reduce the nervous.
So many things I learn from these study skills workshops. I want to thank to my friend, teachers and also my parents who always support me in this subject. Wish all the best and Insha’Allah we will be success in this course.
