Hello everyone, welcome to my channel.
2
I'm Negin, your English teacher, and in this video we're going to be learning some vocabulary and phrases for giving a presentation.
3
Our presentation is really important.
4
Absolutely.
5
If you're living in Canada or if you're studying here, you should give a presentation at school or at work.
6
And it's important to know the vocabulary, the phrases, the structures that are used to make you speak fluently,
7
smoothly, and to be able to focus more on topic than the language you need to use.
8
Let's take a look at this.
9
Hi everyone, and thanks for joining me.
10
Today, I'll be talking about effective online presentations.
11
First, I'm going to walk you through some useful phrases for starting our presentation.
12
After that, I'll move on to phrases you can use to introduce your main points and transition between sections.
13
Finally, I'll finish with some expressions for handing the presentation over to another speaker.
14
Yes.
15
We'll also look at how to invite someone to share their opinion by asking, what's your take on it?
16
What's your take on it?
17
At the end of the video, you'll have a chance to review all the phrases with me.
18
This was a short and simple way of starting a presentation.
19
How do we start?
20
Hi everyone, thanks for joining me.
21
Hi everyone.
22
Thanks for joining me.
23
This is very common to use because we want to thank our audience for all the participants.
24
So we say, "Hi everyone, thanks for joining me." This makes us feel more confident.
25
for thanking people for being there with us.
26
So it makes you feel good about your presentation.
27
You can say, "Hi everyone, Thanks for joining me.
28
What's next?
29
Today I'll be talking about Something.
30
I'll be talking about something.
31
What does that mean?
32
I'm going to talk about something.
33
When you have a plan, when you know what you're going to talk about, you can say, I'll be talking about this or that like,
34
Today, I'll be talking about our sales results for the last quarter.
35
What does quarter mean?
36
Quarter means the three months of the year, which is very important for businesses or companies.
37
or I'll be talking about the changes to our remote work policy.
38
This is a very smooth way to start the conversation.
39
I'll be talking about something.
40
Now, imagine you want to organize your ideas.
41
You say, First, I'm going to walk you through some useful phrases for starting your presentation.
42
First, I'm going to walk you through something.
43
What does this one mean?
44
I'm going to walk you through something.
45
When you walk somebody through something, it means that you're going to explain something for them step by step.
46
This is very common, very useful.
47
You can learn that and easily use it in your presentations.
48
For example, I'm going to walk you through the new onboarding process.
49
I'm going to walk you through the new onboarding process.
50
But let me walk you through the report before we discuss the results.
51
Let me walk you through the report before we discuss the results.
52
Why walk you through something because you are my audience.
53
So when I say I'm going to walk you through something, it means I'm going to explain that thing step by step.
54
You want to continue the presentation, but you're looking for more phrasal words.
55
What can you say?
56
After that, I'll move on to phrases you can use to introduce your main points and transition between sections.
57
I'll move on to something.
58
What does this one mean?
59
I'll move on to something.
60
It means I'll start talking about the next chapter or next section.
61
You want to change the topic, but you're looking for words.
62
How do you want to say this?
63
I'll move on to the next topic.
64
I'll move on to the next part of the presentation.
65
Or now I'll move on to our sales results for this quarter.
66
Now, I'll move on to our sales results for this quarter.
67
Or imagine you have slides and you want to change the slides.
68
So you can say, let's move on to the second slide.
69
Let's move on to another topic.
70
Let's move on to another part of the presentation.
71
Finally, I'll finish with some expressions for handing the presentation over to another speaker.
72
Why am I using this?
73
I'll finish with.
74
I want to mention the last point I'm going to talk about.
75
So I say, I'll finish with something.
76
For example, you could say, "I'll finish with a few recommendations for the next quarter." We just started with the first quarter,
77
now this quarter, and then we're going to be talking about the next quarter
78
so you could say i'll finish with a few recommendations for the next quarter
79
Or I'll finish with a quick summary of the main points.
80
This one is very helpful, very useful for you.
81
I'll finish with a quick summary of the main points, the main points that I just talked about.
82
When you hand the presentation over to another speaker, you're saying, It's your turn.
83
You start.
84
That's enough from me.
85
So how do I use it in a presentation?
86
I can say that's everything from me.
87
So I'll hand it over to Sarah.
88
Sarah is the next speaker.
89
So I'll hand it over to Sarah or before I hand it over to James.
90
Does anyone have any questions?
91
before I hand it over to James or to another colleague.
92
Does anyone have any questions?
93
This example is so good too.
94
Now I'll hand it over to my colleague, Sara, who will walk us through the next section.
95
I'm using the two phrasal verbs at the same time in one sentence.
96
I'll hand it over to my colleague, Sara, who will walk us through the next section.
97
It means the next turn is Sarah and Sarah will explain the other part of presentation step by step.
98
You want to add more points, but you don't know how.
99
You could say, we'll also do something.
100
We'll also plus a verb.
101
We'll also look at the timeline for the project.
102
Or we'll also look at some feedback from our clients.

105

117
and simple way to start a presentation.

Grammatica in deze video
De structuren die de spreker het meest gebruikt, met de exacte woorden uit de video:
| Structuur | In de video |
|---|---|
| Toekomst met “going to” be going to + werkwoord — een plan of iets dat je ziet aankomen | we're going to be · I'm going to walk · I'm going to talk |
| Toekomst met “will” will + werkwoord — een besluit, belofte of voorspelling | I'll be · I'll move · I'll finish |

Uitspraak om op te letten
De spreker gebruikt 58 samentrekkingen en verkorte vormen, zoals I'll, I'm, you're. Spreek ze kort uit, zoals je ze hoort.
- De klanken “sh” en “zh”: presentation /ˌpɹɛzn̩ˈteɪʃn̩/, recommendation /ˌɹɛkəmɛnˈdeɪʃən/
- Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, recommendation /ˌɹɛkəmɛnˈdeɪʃən/, participant /pɑːɹˈtɪsəpənt/
Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:
- Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: phrase /ˈfɹeɪ̯z/, colleague /ˈkɒliːɡ/, slide /ˈslaɪ̯d/, onboard /ɒnˈbɔːd/, verb /vɝb/
- /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, feedback /ˈfiːdˌbæk/
- /g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: colleague /ˈkɒliːɡ/, organize /ˈɔɹɡənaɪz/

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
