Take A look at the following essential notes
1. Presentation means standing in front of people (audience) to give information.
2. Presentation skill is a must for you as an intellectual people.
3. In workplace, presentation skill is an essential requirement. Either a leader or a staff often makes presentation.
4. There are two important factors on effective presentation. First, what you are going to present. It means the title of your presentation. A new presenter commonly adjusts his title or topic with the need of his prospect audience (calon pendengar). That is why a presenter will try to gather information as much as possible about his prospective audience before choosing a title. Information on age, job, educational background, religion, culture etc. are urgently required by a presenter. The topic itself is divided into INTRODUCTION, BODY, and CONCLUSION. Needless to say, some people believe that introduction and conclusion are more important. Second, how you are presenting the topic. It is so-called delivery. Eye-contact, voice and posture relaxed are parts of delivery. Even though, many people say that delivery is more important than topic, but effective presentation may not ignore one of the two factors.
5. There are some important points you have to mention on INTRODUCTION. They are : greetings, self introduction, thanks, topic, reason why you are interested to choose it, parts of your presentation, and certain rules whether or not you let the audience interrupt you to ask questions. Next, I will show you a simple draft of Introduction.
Good afternoon everybody. My name is Rudi Saputra. I come from Faculty of Communication, majoring Public Relation. My registration number is 200958089. First of all, I want to say thanks to Mr. Laris as my Business English lecture. Next, I also say thanks to all my friends who follow my presentation well. Today I want to talk about the roles of PR. I choose this topic, because there are many people who do not know the role of PR. In the first part of my presentation I will tell you the definition of PR, after that I will explain about history of PR, then I will move to PR’s classifications, next I will talk much about PR’s role and finally before I stop my presentation, I will take some conclusions. I will be very happy if you ask me at the end of my presentation. Let me start.
6. Give complete information on BODY of your presentation. You need to explain every main parts of your topic. A presenter will spend most of his time in this part. Sometimes a presenter will show some examples and make comparison dealing with topic.
7. Never stop your presentation without taking conclusion. It is said that conclusion is the most important part of a presentation. Frankly speaking, there is no new information on conclusion. A homely way to make conclusion is to review the main point on body only. Long conclusion is sometimes less effective to audience.
8. How to design slide? Slide is really needed on presentation. Slide is a helpful tool for a presenter to deliver information to audience. In other words, slide does not make presentation. Therefore using to many slides may take over the role of a presenter. On final semester exam every student is allowed to prepare two slides only, not more than that. You have to know that slide does not contain all information about the topic. Take a look at the examples below :

9. Another important thing you have to remember is KEEP TO THE TIME. It means a good presenter always calculates his time. Generally, it is better less than one minute than more than one minute to stop a presentation.
