Introduction

Structure of a Presentation
- Introduction: Greet the audience, introduce yourself, state your topic, outline your main points. Example: “Good morning everyone. Today I will talk about climate change. I will cover three main areas: causes, effects, and solutions.”
- Body: Present your main points with supporting evidence. Use transition words (firstly, secondly, furthermore, in addition).
- Conclusion: Summarize main points, give a concluding thought, invite questions. Example: “To conclude, climate change is a serious challenge that requires immediate action. Thank you for listening. Are there any questions?”
