You will hear someone talking about creating a presentation.
你將聽到一段關于制作演示作品的錄音。
First, you have some time to look at the questions 31 to 40.
首先,你有時間看看第三十一題至第四十題。
Now listen carefully and answer the question 31 to 40.
現在仔細聽錄音,回答第三十一題至第四十題。
Hello, everyone. You've all been given an assignment for your Sociology course which will involve giving a presentation to the rest of the group.
大家好。你們的社會學課程布置了一項作業,其內容包括要向小組作一次成果展示。
And so, today, I'm going to be giving you a few tips on how to prepare your presentations.
因此,今天我將提示一下大家該如何準備你的展示。
This should help you with your current assignment, but a lot of the principles I'll be putting across will be general principles which will, of course, help you with all your future presentations.
這有助于你們完成目前要做的作業,但我要講的大部分原則都是通用的,所以也會對你們將來的成果展示有所幫助。
So, first of all, the most important thing to consider is your audience, and in this instance, your audience are the other students in your group.
首先,最需要考慮的是你的觀眾,在此情況下,就是小組里的其他學生。
There are three points to bear in mind.
你們應記住三點。
Firstly, you need to ask yourself what they need to know; secondly, it's useful to consider whether they'll be supportive or not;
首先,你要問問自己,他們需要知道些什么;其次,想想他們會不會支持你的觀點,也非常有用;
and thirdly, will it be a small group, say three or four, a moderate gathering of twenty or so people (as for your current assignment) or will there be hundreds of people?
第三點,這是一個三四人的小組,或者會有二十來人,規模中等(和你們目前的任務要求一致),還是說會有上百人呢?
Having said all that, what I'm about to tell you will apply equally to any audience.
說了這么多,我將要告訴大家的東西對每種規模的觀眾都適用。
So, how do you structure your presentation? Right at the beginning, you should tell them something that forces them to pay attention.
你該怎么組織你的展示?在一開始,你就應該跟觀眾講些事情,使得他們不得不集中注意力。
This could be something surprising or even shocking, but it needs to be relevant.
講的內容可以是出乎意料的,或駭人聽聞的,但必須是相關的。
After that, you need a list of items or topics showing them what you'll be covering-rather like an agenda - and then the main part of the presentation will follow.
之后,你需要列出(展示作品的)條目或主題,告訴觀眾們你將展示什么內容—這更像某種議程吧,接著就可以開始進入整場展示的主要部分了。
This main part will be the detailed information you'll be presenting and could include facts, statistics, personal experiences, etc.
展示的主要內容應是非常詳細的信息,可包括客觀事實、數據、個人經歷等等。
After this you should summarise what you've presented and close with what I call "next steps".
接下來你應該總結一下所展示的內容,以我所稱的“延伸”結尾。
For this assignment, you could simply point the group to other Sociology reference material.
對于這份作業而言,你可以直接給小組成員推薦些社會學參考材料。
