How you could start your presentation (an example of a brief outline of the structure)


Before you start, briefly run through the main points or subject areas you are going to talk about.

Why? Again this will help you to clearly organise your talk, but also it means the audience will be
able to follow you much better.  For example;

'Today I'm going to talk to you about three main areas related to our new hand held computer;
firstly I’ll demonstrate how to use the computer, secondly we’ll look at the software options and
thirdly I will explain the finances.'
