[Turn] rookie to do presentation in English

Speaking in front of the public, do a report, in fact, everyone is inevitably nervous. The Chinese first (rookie) in English to do presentation, especially so. Remember that year in the United States as a postdoctoral fellow, attend a master's course homework report, at that time is the evening, a lot of student teachers listening, a Chinese student ready to speak. In fact, he did a very good ppt, but can see that he was very nervous. At first he wanted to say "good evening to everyone", but a mouth came to a "good night, ladies and gentlemen". "Good night?" Is it good night? Finish this sentence and go home to bed? Is that your homework? The American boss was still very humorous and had a good-natured joke with his students about how to relax. The Chinese students were completely released, and the whole report played well.

I remember the first time I made presentation in English was also nervous to die. He was in Hong Kong and was also attending a course assignment report. At that time, a domestic visit to my brother taught me "experience", said, do not worry, try to write what you want to say to your slides, and then read it on the line. I was like holding a straw, and I hastened to do it. It turns out that the precious experience of my brother has really worked-it's totally killing me! At that time the classroom teacher gave me as a typical to very a pass, said, do presentation absolutely can not put too much text on the slides, to chart-based, with a concise introduction. You have to be very clear about what you are saying, each picture, every table, every slide to say what, beforehand should be ready, to write down, and then memorize, so you face your slides, face your audience can be relaxed. You look at your presentation have been reading slides on the text, even to see the audience at a glance of Kung fu are not, see you busy! How do you make a model of PPT for your mainland students? Is there a unified training?

Speaking of the mainland students to do PPT mode, now think up, and really all a pattern. This is usually the beginning:

Slide 1–title

Good morning everyone, I am shanyong, I think everyone here knows me. My numerical simulation of cavity expansion in soft soils "and my supervisor are Professor Lee.

As for the first slide, a lot of Chinese students are used to writing this. I wrote it at the time, but I didn't feel any bad about it, but I didn't feel the passion flying like the old prologue. Some experienced speakers usually start off with something else, a few little jokes, Be active in the atmosphere. Remember when I came to Australia to do the first seminar mentioned the U.S. scientific research world first, why to Australia to develop. I said 08 before and after the United States encountered a financial crisis, no fundings suport me, I can only come to Australia to look for opportunities. After I came to Australia, I was deeply in love here, my wife is also, love very deep, because there is no financial crisis here. I was listening to a laugh, and it felt good. Of course, for the novice or from the simplest beginning, can tell things clearly is the first principle, otherwise it will be self-defeating.

Slide 2-outline

This was just a quick outline of what I am going to talk about this morning. I'll give a quick introduction and background into my own, followed by a summary of some of the "the short comings of Pu"  Blished literature. There'll be a look at the methods for analysis used as well as some of the results so far, followed by a look at the future P LANs and a timetable of completion.

The second slide about outline is the habit that I later do seminar, and now seems to feel good. As a rookie, I used to say this:

This slide are about the outline of my presentation. There is totally five parts. This first one is ..., the second one is ..., the third one is ..., the fourth one is ... and the last one is the conclusion.

I would like to see a lot of Chinese students here will laugh, maybe we also have the shadow of my former rookie. In fact, I would like to say that this is nothing bad, at least simple and clear. But it always feels not so professional. Later listen to other people's reports listen to more, found in fact can change the story, content or slide content, the effect is different. The difference is with some patterns of change, such as: I'll give a quick introduction and background into my, followed by a summary of SO Me of the short comings of published literature. Followed the word is very good, very easy to undertake the two parts before and after. This avoids the very rigid sentence patterns (the first (second, third...is ...) sounds smooth and a bit professional.

Slide 3–introduction

When considering the stability of tunnels, there is many different problems that can is looked at, different ..., such as ... As well as ....

This was just a quick mention of some of the shortcomings of the published literature in relation to tunnels. The vast majority of past is only considered ...; There is some in ..., but not much, and basically none looking at ...

Almost all the literature concerns is single tunnels, or single tunnel headings. There have been very little effort to look at the effect of ..., as well as associated interaction effects.

The plan of my are to use 3 methods of analysis for a variety of the geometries and soil medium combinations. These 3 methods is discussed a little more in a few minutes.

This part is part of an Australian student's Introduciton. I think that's very smooth. He paid attention to the connection between each sentence. For example "when considering ...", "This is just a quick mention of ...", "There has been very little effort ...", "These 3 methods is discussed a little more in a few minutes". This sentence is natural to undertake the next paragraph.

Slide 4–methodology

This section looks at the methodology of ...

In this part, I think looks at the word used very well. In this way we will avoid the sentence pattern that has always appeared "This section is ...".

Slide 5-results

This figure, and the one on the next slide, give a good insight into the effect of the friction angle. As the friction angle increases, the area of influence around the tunnels drops off dramatically.

Look at the description of this paragraph is not more than "this figure is about ..." Looks a lot more comfortable?

Slide 6–future Work

If you recall, I explained earlier, then so far only ... has been used to consider the problems presented today. It'll be possible to apply ... to these same problems, giving a better insight into their behaviour, as well as confirming The both analysis techniques.

And the prospect of future work is also well written.

Slide 7–timetable

Finally, here's my plan-timetable, thank for listening ...

Does anyone has any Questions?

In short, whether it is in English or in Chinese to do the report (presentation) is a process of making perfect. Learn how others do when they are in a meeting, and then imitate them until they become something of their own. In addition, the preparation of work is very important, only the preparation of the full, the heart of the bottom, not too nervous. Speaking of tension, in fact, later I found that the native of the ghosts of the professor when the report is also a tense, but they can quickly adjust themselves, until relaxed, without it, experienced Seoul. Of course, the above is only to do presentation surface kungfu, want to let your presentation blockbuster, content is the most important.
