Can you turn 150 pages into a 5 minute presentation before a meeting?

Now working as an English language teacher I teach students to give presentations to get good exam results and am currently teaching Algerian trainee pilots to give presentations, describe a photo, read a taxt and summarise it and to answer questions on all 3 disciplines.

With no knowledge of the subject, or your level of English, giving presentations and editing it's hard to say!

Use diagrams or photos with simple key points

How strict are your parents?

Use the 4 point plan. Introduction, good points, bad points and conclusion.

Failing to prepare is preparing to fail, and I fear that is your problem! You are overwhelmed and don't have a clue where to start.

Control the room by starting I am xx here to discuss xxx and will answer questions at the end of my presentation.

Why doesn't speeding significantly decrease one’s commute time? I've done a lot of road trips and driving and have experimented by increasing speed by 10–20%, but somehow this never equates to arriving 20% sooner, even on clear roads.

Lots of the writing will be blah blah blah so ignore it. It's the who, where, when, why and how much that counts, usually.

Personally yes, I could as I have worked on sakes and marketing, so gave many presentations on a variety of subjects.

If necessary send something to everyone in advance again with highlights you want to emphasise or hand something out at the end.

What is the scariest thing that ever happened in your life?
