Summary of chapter 7

Chapter - 7

Designing Oral Presentations

After reading this chapter I came to know that before speaking anything we have to select the appropriate big topic and should start from the introduction by brief opening. While presenting anything orally we must get the audience attention and give them a reason to listen. Then talking about the body which explain the main idea and backs them with the supporting details and finally giving the conclusion which ties together the main points, inspires a next process and give a sense of closure.

While organizing our speech we shouldn’t forget the transitions like key words or any other short sentence that is connected with one idea with other. We can also use electronic presentation software to do our presentation in a systematic way by using PowerPoint slides or handouts. There are different types of speech delivery and they are impromptu, manuscript, extemporaneous and memorized.
