and computers.
a. Check that your postcards and presentation are in order.
l. Room management. Some people feel more comfortable using a lectern or table.

audience not just the tutor. If you feel uncomfortable doing this, choose a few people
in the audience and glance at them at regular intervals.
b. Try to bring vitality and variety into your speech pattern.
j. Try not to rush your presentation. Try to make sure that you speak more slowly
than you would in normal conversation.

(although without making it obvious) to ensure that you are keeping to your schedule
and not running out of time.

not finish your presentation with your last sentence.
k. Handle the questions with confidence. If you do not know the answer to any
question then be honest and say that you will find out.

audience and ended your presentation, then calmly collect your materials.
