and now let's get started with the lesson At the beginning of a presentation we usually welcome the audience,

introduce ourselves and our topic.

Good morning or good afternoon or good evening everybody and welcome to my presentation.

My name is Derek Callan and I'm a Business English Coach at DerekCallen.com.

If you're a student, mention your field of study and your university.

The topic of my presentation is or today I'd like to talk to you about.

Now this is a very standard way of introducing yourself and your topic and it's perfectly okay.

However, often your audience will already know who you are and what your topic is.

If you want to make your intro a little different or more interesting, check out my other lesson,

You should find the link somewhere here on the screen.

And now let's get back to some other things you might

want to do in your introduction before beginning with your first main point.

It can be a good idea to let your audience know what the structure of your presentation is.

I'm going to focus on or look at

or deal with three main points or I've divided my presentation into three main parts.

First of all I'll talk about,

second we'll look at and finally I'll explain or I'll show you or I'll tell you about.

If your audience doesn't know how long the presentation is going to be let them know.

My presentation will take about and And it can also be helpful to let them know when they can ask questions.

If you have a strict time limit and you don't want to be interrupted, you can say something like this.

There'll be plenty of time for questions at the end of my presentation.

Or, I'd appreciate it if you could leave any questions you may have until the end of my presentation.

On the other hand, if you want to be flexible and welcome questions at any time, you could say something like this.

If you have any questions during the presentation, feel free to interrupt at any time.

Great, so you've made your introduction and now it's time to start with the main part or the body of your presentation.

And this is where signposting phrases can be very useful.

These are phrases we use to guide our audience through our presentation to let them know

when we want to introduce a new topic, when we're finished with a topic, and when we want to continue with the next one.

Introducing your first point.

I'd like to begin by telling you or showing you and so on.

It's important here to follow begin by with a gerund with the in form. Or let's start with.

Or so let's get started.

So is a very short and simple word but it's a very effective way to get your audience's attention.

finishing one topic so that covers everything I want to say about

or that concludes my first or that concludes my second topic

and continuing with another now let's move on to my next topic

which is or let's turn now to or moving on to

And if you want to show your audience some information on graphs or charts, the following phrases should be quite helpful.

As you can see on this chart, or take a look at this chart,

or this graph clearly shows, or this graph highlights the importance of.

it's important to go into more detail.

Let's have a look at a couple of ways we can do this.

Let me expand on this point or I'd like to elaborate on this point for a few minutes.

It's also very important to remind your audience about the purpose of your presentation, why it's important and why it's relevant.

As I said at the beginning or this relates to what I was saying earlier

or this ties in with what I said at the start of my talk

or at the start of my presentation if something ties in with something else it means the two things are connected.

Excellent!

Now let's think about the last part of the presentation.

Here we usually summarize the main points, give a conclusion or a final message, thank the audience and invite them to ask questions.

Summarizing.

So that brings me to the end of my presentation.

We looked at three main points.

First, I showed you or I spoke about, followed by a one or two sentence summary of the key information from this topic.

Then we looked at, again followed by a one to two sentence summary.

And finally, I explained or I told you about, and once again, a short summary.

Concluding.

To conclude, I'd like to say.

Or, before we finish, I'd like to leave you with one final thought.

Thanking the audience and inviting them to ask questions.

Thank you very much for your attention or for your time.

Or, thank you for listening.

If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them now.

So that brings us to the end of this lesson.

I hope you found it helpful and I hope you can practice using some of those phrases in your next presentation.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
