Exemplo

A friend is giving an important presentation tomorrow. Give your friend some advice about how to give a good presentation.

Hi, Sarah. I undersatnd you're giving an important presentation soon. I often give presentations, so perhaps I can give you some helpful suggestions.

First, I strongly recommend that you practice giving your talk several times before the day of your actual presentation. There are a couple of reasons why I recommend this. First, practing will help you deliver your presentation in a natural way, and this is good for your audience. In addition, it will give you confidence. Whenever I have to present a talk, I always feel much more confident then I have has a chance to practice it.

Second, don't forget to smile and use gestures when you talk. Why? Well, as I'm sure you've heard before, smiling and using gestures can help other people better understand what you're saying. If I were you, I would practice my talk in fornt of a mirror. This will not only help you recognize when to smile, but also when to user gestures and what kinds of gestures to use.

Anyway, good luck with your presentation. I'm sure you're going to do a great job!
