ENGLISH Reading Exercise #37 (Advanced) Presentation Skills 15 of 28
English Reading Exercise 37
To improve your English fluency and confidence when speaking, use the Synchronized Reading Method. Be sure to watch the Introduction video in the link above first, to understand the methodology. These English reading exercises will dramatically improve your English fluency.
These exercises are designed for intermediate to advanced students who want to sound like a native speaker. By reading along with the teacher at the same time, with the teacher’s voice superimposed over their own, students start to self-correct in the areas of pronunciation and fluency, learning to read and speak in natural word groups.
If you find the pace is too fast, go to the Intermediate version, and repeat until you are fluent in sync with the teacher’s reading.

7 Presentation Skills To Enhance Your Image
The following presentation skills cover a wide range of subjects and may even be contested by some public speakers. However, if you want to convey a professional image before an audience, you will do better if you follow these important guidelines:
Pay attention to pronunciation. If you don’t know how to pronounce a particular word, check it in a dictionary. Few things can destroy your credibility more than making a major pronunciation error. After all, if you don’t even know how to pronounce the word, how can your listeners have any confidence you know what you’re talking about.
Online dictionaries have the added benefit of attached audio files, so you can just click on the word and actually hear it being pronounced. One valuable resource is: https://www.thefreedictionary.com/ which provides both British and American pronunciation.
Speaking extemporaneously means preparing in advance but delivering your presentation from an outline rather than reading from a script.
If you are ever tempted to give a speech or presentation from copious notes, almost reading them verbatim, consider these 4 major benefits of speaking extemporaneously:
If you decide to use visual aids in your presentation make sure their purpose is to instruct rather than entertain so the audience will feel they are really learning something.
Visual aids can hold the attention of an audience and make a deeper impression if they are used well. Be sure everyone in the audience can see the visual aid clearly.
This is an important one. If the audience knows you have been scheduled 30 minutes for your presentation, a large section will stop listening after 30 minutes. It doesn’t matter how great the material is, a proportion of your audience will have their eye on the clock and mentally switch off once your time is up.
Using any kind of obscenity, even for emphasis, is a NO-NO. Hollywood movies may be filled with it, but it only serves to cheapen a public speaker.
Yes, it may get a few laughs from a section of the audience but the overall effect on you as a speaker is negative. There are other ways of putting emphasis on a subject without running the risk of being offensive to at least a percentage of your audience.
Eat moderately before you speak. Don’t do anything that might make an impact on your energy level. When making your presentation you want to be alive, full of energy. The audience will respond to your enthusiasm and get involved in your subject.
If your audience is scattered in the room or hall, regroup them by inviting them to the front in a close knit body. It is much easier to persuade, influence, and hold the attention of a group.
An individual who might otherwise be passive will applaud and laugh when in the middle of a group of people who are applauding and laughing.
An audience is far more likely to accept and believe what a speaker is saying when he presents himself and his material professionally. Use these 7 presentation skills to enhance your image!
