Read the following advice on how to structure your presentation and choose the
best word for each space.
 During
your introduction, you should tell your what the structure of your presentation will be. You might say

point you have and where you are going now. When you finish Spain and want to

When you have finished Europe and want to sum up, you might say: "Well, we've looked at the three areas, Spain, France and the other European countries. I'd like to sum up now." And when you finish summing up and want to your recommendations, you might say: "What does all this mean for us? Well, firstly I recommend..." |
