Opening techniques in public speaking

To start a presentation, we can:
• Use humour/a riddle: “I am red with a yellow star and
I am a symbol of my country. What am I? … It’s the flag
of my country, Vietnam.”
• Address the audience directly: “Can you guess the
meaning of the colour on this flag?”
• Ask a rhetorical question: “Aren’t we proud of our
country’s flag?”
• Make a statement: “One thing I’m proud of is my
country’s flag.”
3 Copy the spidergram in Ex. 1b and

complete it with information about the
flag of your country. Use your notes and the
model to prepare and give your presentation.

Do you ever get a guilty feeling after spending far too much being a social media manager is not all fun and
time on social networking sites? Well, these days, most games. Don’t get me wrong – I like my job – but
major companies hire social media managers to do just that! I certainly don’t spend my working day commenting
We asked Air Express’s very own social media manager – on my friends’ holiday pics or giggling at cat videos.
Sandy Hayes – what it’s all about. The truth is that this is a well-paid, demanding job that
needs a lot of dedication.
Social media manager is not as new a position as
you might think. Social networking services became
openly available in September 2006, and companies
had to decide whether or not to have a presence there.
The decision was a no-brainer, but the results weren’t
always great, so by 2010, companies had started
employing full-time social media managers.
Basically, I have two main duties in my job: connecting
with customers and creating content. The first thing I
do when I get to the office in the morning is check any
activity on the company’s social media accounts. These
days, a lot of people use social media like a customer
service tool, so I spend my mornings answering
questions and replying to comments or complaints.
Also, I have to take note of how popular my posts were
from the previous day. When a post gets very few likes,
I have to figure out why, and I have to do it fast.
