When making a 5 minute presentation:
- Introduce yourself, greet us, and present the topic
- Answer the basic questions: what is it about, where does it take place, why, when, how…
- Don’t start before everyone is listening to you (use the appropriate sentences to get people’s attention)
Your presentation should also have the following qualities:
- Your voice must be heard even from the back of the classroom
- The English must be understood by a native English speaker
- You shouldn’t read your notes (print them in large font size, something like 24, and highlight the keywords)
- Train to pronounce your speech it with a friend to make it proficient
- Use technical terms (and explain them when necessary)
- Use some interesting expressions
Also, to make it lively:
- You may ask us a question
- Try to think of something that might catch our attention
- Show us a printed picture or an object that we can touch
