For example, you may want your presentation to entertain (развлекать) and
inspire (вдохновлять). Or, you may want it to persuade and inform. Choose
your presentation type (or types) and stick to a structure that allows you to
accomplish (достичь) your goal.
What ever your presentation’s purpose, it should have a beginning that
introduces your topic, a middle that expands your audience’s understanding of
what you’re presenting, and an end that pulls together everything you presented
and offers a call to action (призыв к действию).
To help structure your presentation, I highly recommend you use an outline
(краткое описание). You’ll be able to layout (расположить) exactly what you
want to say in the order you want to say it. Plus, you’ll help ensure you don’t
miss anything or go off on any weird tangents (другие темы).
2. Break up complex information over multiple slides: Let’s face it. Most
people put too much information on their PowerPoint slides. There’s a huge
title, and then everything the presenter is going to say, verbatim (слово в
слово). In that situation, it’s almost like you don’t need a presenter at all.
Your slides should highlight or add context to what you’re saying. If you have
a lot of information to share, don’t be afraid to spread it out over multiple slides.
Your slides should have white space that allows your audience to focus on
what’s important.
Sometimes that might be a few words or an image or two.
Don’t fill your slides with walls of text. That almost guarantees a boring
presentation.
3. Give your presentation some life with videos: Videos in a PowerPoint
presentation? Yep!
One of the most common questions I see is “how to make a PowerPoint
presentation interesting?”. And video is an easy way to make a dry presentation
come to life.
Videos help capture (захватить) your audience’s attention and can help you
pace (задать темп) your presentation.
Strategically, videos can help you emphasize (акцентировать внимание)
points or provide a needed break from the monotony of listening to one
presenter for an hour or more.
 Before-and-after footage to demonstrate project progress.
 Screencasts (скринкаст/видеоурок) showing data results.
 Quick, informal tutorials (руководство) on how to perform a task.
Adding a video is easy and there are several ways to include one. You can
either upload it from your computer or embed a link to an online site. Be wary
of using an online video, though. It’s a good idea to have a backup (копию)
on your computer ready to go in case the venue’s (места проведения) wifi is
spotty (прерывисто работает).
