What is a presentation?
Presentations describe, narrate, persuade or communicate
ideas. Presentation skills are necessary for personal and
professional development.

Why do we give presentations?
We give presentations to:
■ describe a product, an invention, a place, people
■ narrate an experience, a story, a myth, a fable, an event
■ persuade by presenting arguments for & against an
issue, expressing our opinion on an issue, stating a
problem & suggesting solutions, political discussions,
campaigns etc.
■ communicate in panels, debates, conferences etc.

How do we structure a presentation?
A presentation consists of a(n):
■ Introduction, in which we greet the audience, present
ourselves and the topic.
■ Main body, in which we present the main points.
■ Conclusion, in which we summarise the main points,
invite questions from the audience and thank the
audience for listening to us. We can sometimes get
feedback from the audience.

Presentation Skills is a unique supplementary
component that accompanies each course. It helps
learners develop their public speaking skills. Public
speaking is more than just a talent. It is a skill that can
be learnt and developed. Presentation skills ensures
