INTRODUCTION

What makes a good presentation? Without exception, all good presenters have one thing in common, enthusiasm, both for their subject and for the business of presenting it. The best public speakers always make what they say sound as if it really matters. They know if it matters to them, it will matter to the audience. Many different things contribute to the success of presentation: new and unusual content, a clear structure, the imaginative use of visual aids, the ability to make people laugh and think and, of course, enthusiasm. Here are some pieces of advice for you: study and try to follow them and you’ll be successful at any presentation!    

How to become a good presenter

Leave nothing to change

Check everything before you are due to speak – room, seating, visibility, acoustics and equipment.

Know exactly how to start

Plan the first minute of your presentation down to the last detail. Try to memorize your opening words. This will help you to sound confident and in control.

Get straight to the point

Don’t waste time on long boring introductions. Try to make at least one powerful statement in the first two minutes.

Talk to your audience

Many of the best presentations sound more like conversations. So, keep referring back to your audience, ask them questions and respond to their reactions.

Know what works

Certain things are always popular with an audience: personal experiences, stories with a message, dramatic comparisons, amazing facts they didn’t know. Use them to the full.

Be concise

Keep your sentences short and simple. Use deliberate pauses to punctuate your speech.

Speak naturally

Don’t be afraid to hesitate when you speak, but make sure you pause in the right places. Remember, you are not an actor trying to remember lines. A certain amount of hesitation is actually quite natural.

Know your audience

Speak for your audience, not yourself. Take every opportunity to show how much common ground you share with them. Address their goals, their needs, and their concerns.

Be  yourself

As far as possible, speak to five hundred people in much the same way you would speak to five. You will obviously need to project yourself more, but your personality shouldn’t change.

Take your time

Whenever you make a really important point, pause and let the full significance of what you have said sink in... before you move on.

Develop your own style

Learn from other public speakers, but don’t try to copy them. Be comfortable with your own abilities. Don’t do anything that feels unnatural for you, just because it works for someone else.

Enjoy the experience

The secret of being an excellent speaker is to enjoy the experience of speaking –try to enjoy the experience!

Finish strongly

When you are ready to finish your presentation, slow down and lower your voice. Look at the audience and deliver your final votes slowly and clearly. Pause, let your words hang in the air a moment longer, smile, say thank you and then sit down.[1]

Introductions

How you begin your presentation depends on how formal the situation is. Most audiences prefer a relatively informal approach. Below you will find two alternative ways of introducing yourself and the subject of your presentation - one fairly formal, the other more friendly.

 

Fairly formal More friendly
Erm, perhaps we should begin. OK, let's get started.
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Morning, everyone.
On behalf of..., may I welcome you to... Thanks for coming.
My name's... I'm...
For those who don't know me yet,... As you know...
I'm responsible for... I'm in charge of...
This morning I'd like to... What I want to do this morning is...
discuss... talk to you about...
report on... tell you about...
and present... and show you...
If you have any questions you'd like to ask, I'll be happy to answer them. Feel free to ask any questions as we go along.

 

Task 1. Choose the phrase in the right column, which is equivalent to that on the left:

 

Erm, perhaps we should begin.   As you know… OK, let’s get started I’m in charge of…  
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.   Morning, everyone. I’m… And show you…  
On behalf of..., may I welcome you to...   Talk to you about… Tanks for coming. What I want to do this morning is…  
My name's...   I’m in charge of…. Morning, everyone I’m…  
For those of you who don't know me yet...   As you know OK, let’s get started Tell you about…  
I am responsible for...   OK, let’s get started Tell you about… I’m in charge of…  
This morning I'd like to...   Talk to you about… Thanks for coming. What I want to do this morning is…  
discuss…   And show you… Talk to you about… Thanks for coming.  
report on…   OK, let’s get started Tell you about… I’m in charge of…
and present…   And show you… Talk to you about… Thanks for coming.

Effective Openings

Communications experts are all agreed that the first three minutes of a presentation are the most important. They talk about 'hooks' - simple techniques for getting the immediate attention of the audience. A good start makes you feel more confident. Here's how the experts suggest you 'hook' your audience:
1. Give them a problem to think about.
2. Give them some amazing facts.
3. Give them a story or personal anecdote.

PROBLEM TECHNIQUE

Suppose.....
How would you......?
Have you ever wondered why it is that......?
Well, if I could show you.............. would you be interested?
How many people here this morning / afternoon / evening......?
Well, imagine................... Do you think that's possible?

AMAZING FACTS TECHNIQUE

Did you know that.......?
According to the latest study,.......
Statistics shows  that.......
I read somewhere the other day that.......

STORY / ANECDOTE TECHNIQUE

You know,.......
When I think about.........
I'm reminded of........
Have you ever been in the situation where.......
I remember when........
It turned out.......

 

Task 1. Look at the presentation openings below and put them under three headings:

Problems Amazing facts Stories

1. Did you know that Japanese companies spend four times more on entertaining clients in a year than the entire GDP of Bulgaria? 40 billion dollars, to be precise. You know, that's twice Colombia's total foreign debt. You could buy General Motors for the same money.

 

2. Suppose your advertising budget will be cut by 99% tomorrow.

How would you go about promoting your product?

 

3. According to the latest study, by 2050 only one in every four people in Western Europe will be going to work. And two will be old age pensioners.

 

4. You know, R&D is 90% luck. When I think about creativity, I’m reminded of the man who invented the microwave oven. He spent years messing around with radar transmitters, then noticed the chocolate in his pocket was starting to melt!

 

5. Statistics shows that in the last ten years more people have legally emigrated to the U.S. than to the rest of the world put together - about half a million of them a year, in fact. Now, over ten years, that's roughly equivalent to the population of Greece.

 

6. Have you ever wondered why it is that Americans are easier to sell to than Europeans? And why nine out of ten sales gurus are American? You have? Well, if I could show you what stops Europeans buying, would you be interested?

 

7. I read somewhere the other day that the world's highest paid executive works for Disney and gets $230 million a year. Now that's about $2000 a minute. That means he's currently making more money than Volkswagen.

 

8. How many people here this morning hate going to meetings? Just about everybody, right? Well, imagine a company where there were never any meetings and everything ran smoothly. Do you think that’s possible?

 

9. Have you ever been in the situation where you've had to negotiate with the Japanese? I remember when I was working in Nagoya and everybody had told me the Japanese don't like saying "no". So in meetings I just kept saying "yeah" to everything and they hated it. It turned out "yeah" sounds like "no" in Japanese!

 

Stating Your Purpose

It is essential to state the purpose of your presentation near the beginning. To do this clearly and effectively you need a few simple presentation verbs:
take a look at, report on, give an overview of, etc.

OK, let's get started. Good morning everyone. Thanks for coming. I'm........ This morning I'm going to be:

  • talking to you about
  • telling you
  • showing you
  • reporting on
  • taking a look at


... so, I'll begin by:

  • filling you in on the background to
  • bringing you up-to-date on
  • giving you an overview of
  • making a few observations about
  • outlining


... and then I'll go on to:

  • highlight what I see as the main
  • put the situation into some kind of perspective
  • discuss in more depth the implications of
  • talk you through
  • make detailed recommendations regarding

Samsung

 

On March 1, 1938 Byung Chull Lee started his business in Taegu, Korea. Mr. Lee exported products to the neighboring regions; he used to sell dried Korean fish, vegetables, and fruit to Manchuria and Beijing. Nobody realized that time that Samsung-- meaning "three stars"inKorean - would have its own flour mills just in a decade and ultimately would become a modern global corporation.

Today Samsung occupies a leading placeon the market ofinformation and digital technology. It has trade representatives in 46 countries of the world: France, Great Britain, Germany, the USA, and Russia; it has branches in the USA, Portugal, Mexico, China, Thailand; its exploratory laboratories are in the USA, Russia and Japan. There are more than 200 offices that employ 65 000 people. Nowadays Samsung specializes in the production of plasma panels, liquid-crystal television sets, mobile telephones, Web-telephones, computers, printers, monitors, hard disks, modules to memories, video cameras, DVD-players, DVD-VRC-players, refrigerators, conditioners, vacuum cleaners and other electronics.

The digital age has brought a lot of new opportunities and changes to global business. The Samsung Group has responded to these changes and it is currently upgrading its business structure, management policy and corporate culturetomeet the global standards. Samsung considers every challenge as an opportunity, and positions itself as one of the world's well-recognized leaders in the industry of digital technologies. Samsung Electronics is one of the world's "top 10" for four consecutive years, and it invests US$ 1.7 billion in Research and Development annually.

The company is promoting its brand value, a key engine of the business growth. Samsung brand value was increased to US $8.31 billion in 2006 from US $6.37 billion in 2005 and the company was recognized by Interbrand Corporation as the fastest growing global brand. Samsung succeeded in achieving the global competitiveness thanks to the improvements in its financial structure and profitability. The reduction of production costs and a hard work of its employees have greatly contributed to its progress in a way that Samsung Electronics has been noted by Interbrand Corporation for its stability and growth potential, so the company has received its second consecutive “A” rating.  

Samsung actively participates in different sporting events. As a Worldwide Olympic partner of the 2000 Sydney Olympics, Samsung provided 25,000 advanced digital wireless telecommunication devices including mobile phones. It was a Worldwide Olympic Partner in the 2006 Turin Olympics and will be an Olympic Partner in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Samsung is an active contributor to the Asian Games, Samsung Nations Cup Riding Competition, Samsung Running Festival, Samsung World Championship and many other sporting events around the world.

Since the foundation in 1938, Samsung has developed its management philosophy that can be described in the following way: "We will devote our human resources and technology to create the superior products and services, thereby contributing to a better global society. Our management philosophy represents our strong determination to contribute directly to the prosperity of people all over the world. Talent, creativity and dedication to work are the key factors for the company’s success. The strides we've made in technology offer endless possibilities to achieve higher standards of living everywhere. We believe that the results of our work entirely depend on how we manage our company. Our goal is to create our future with our customers”.

Task 6. Read the text and retell it according to the plan:

                                

The origin of the company

The range of products.

The world markets.

The Coca-Cola Company

 

 The Coca-Cola Company is a manufacturer, distributor and seller of con­centrates and syrups for producing non-alcoholic drinks. Coca-Cola beverages has brought a great popularity to the company and made it one of the largest corporations in the USA.

 Coca-Cola drink was created by a pharmacist John Pemberton in Atlanta, USA in 1886. He prepared syrup of caramel color, and he brought it to one of the biggest drugstores in the city. Pemberton named his creation as Coca-Cola because the syrup contained leaves of the coca bush from the South America, and seeds of the cola tree, a source of caffeine. Druggists began to mix the syrup with aerated water. Frank Robinson, a partner of Pemberton, designed the name Coca-Cola as well as the unique stylized print of this trademark.

In 1887 Pemberton sold a part of his company to Asa Grigs Kendler who registered the company as the Coca Cola Corporation in 1888. In 1930 Robert Woodraf became the president of the Coca-Cola Company. Since 2004 the president of the company is Neville Isdell. According to the Annual report 2007 the company sells soft drinks in more than 312 countries or territories all over the world. The report further states that more than 9 billion beverage products of all types are consumed worldwide every day, 4.5 billion of them have Coca-Cola trademark or licensed by Coca-Cola. They account for approximately 78% of the company's total gallon sales. These sales are distributed in the following way: 37% in the USA, 43% in Mexico, Brazil, Japan and China, and 20 % - throughout the world. The turnover of the company is $24.088 billion; the net profit is $5.080 billion. It employs 55 thousand employees.

The Coca-Cola Company decided to change its marketing strategy to attract a new generation of consumers and designed a revolutionary bottle. “We do not simply do the new packing - we change the concept”, – says its representative. “Coca-Cola will develop packing in “club style”; the drink will be packaged in the aluminum cans. Some cans will change their color depending on the illumination”. Actually, the Coca-Cola Company and its subsidiaries produce only the syrup concentrate and sell it to the various bottlers throughout the world who hold Coca-Cola franchise. Coca-Cola bottlers produce the drink from the concentrate in combination with the filtered water and sweeteners. The bottlers then sell, distribute and merchandise the resulting Coca-Cola product to the retail stores, vending machines, restaurants and food service distributors.

Today there are many varieties of drinks produced by Coca-Cola: Diet Coke, Cherry Coke, Diet Cherry Coke, Coke with Lemon, Vanilla Coke, Coke with Lime, Diet Coke with Lime and others. The Coca-Cola Company produces also a number of the other soft drinks including Fanta and Sprite. Fanta's origin dates back to the World War II when Max Keith, who managed Coca-Cola's operations in Germany during the war, ran out of the ingredients for Coke, which could be supplied only from the United States. Keith started to produce a different kind of drink-- Fanta, which proved to be a hit, and when Cola took over again after the war, the company decided to continue producing Fanta. The German Fanta Klare Zitrone ("Clear Lemon Fanta"), the variety of Fanta is Sprite, the company's bestseller.

Coca-Cola is the best-selling soft drink in most countries, however there are some exceptions. The Middle East is one of the world regions where Coca-Cola is not number one soda drink; nevertheless, Coca-Cola holds almost 25% of the market share. In Peru, the native Inca Kola has been more popular than Coca-Cola, this fact made the Coca-Cola Company start the negotiations with the soft drink's company and buy 50% of its stakes. In Japan, the best selling soft drink is not Cola; they prefer canned tea or coffee. Cola is supposed to be less popular in India because it is considered to contain the ingredients that may affect health. However, market share data do not confirm this view; in 2008 its market share was 60.9%.

coca bush – кокаиновый куст

cola tree – тропическое дерево «кола»

Bentley Motors

Walter Owen Bentley founded Bentley Motors in 1919 in London. The company strengthened its positions on the world market in the 1920s when the series of racing triumphs proved its outstanding opportunities. Its cars won the first prices five times in Le Mans in 1924 - 1930.The motto of the company was expressed in the words of Bentley himself: "To build a good car, a fast car, the best in the class". These words reflect Bentley’s beliefs, actions and ambitions for the future. The company located in Crewe, England since 1946 and owned by Volkswagen AG since 1998, produces a wide range of motor cars and embodies a concept of the comfortable driving style.

Nowadays Bentley employs approximately 4,000 people worldwide. Its regional offices are based in the UK, the USA, Germany, Japan, Singapore, China and in the Middle East. 173 dealers worldwide represent Bentley: 28 in the UK, 41 in the USA, and 14 in Asia and Australasia. Volkswagen AG acquired Bentley in 1998 and started £500 million investment program to improve the factory facilities and to support the future product development. Bentley sells about 8,500 cars annually.

Bentley Motors was founded in 1919 but originally it didn’t specialize in the production of cars: it was producing the engines and chassis for 27 years. The production process is rather complicated: it takes 150 hours to hand-build Continental GT and 400 hours to build Arnage. Every single part of Bentley car is designed on computer and every stage of the construction process can be traced back. Every piece of glass is given its final polish with the finely powdered pumice that is used to polish optical lenses. It takes 15 hours to create one steering wheel. There is a little variation in the texture of leather, as it is selected and cut at the same time.

Some skeptics doubted about Volkswagen's commitment to the true values of Bentley brand, but the massive investment proved the intention to benefit the company and to show its truly British character. Two following events confirmed the fact: the first was the design of  Bentley State Limousine, built on the occasion of the Queen’s Golden Jubilee. The second was the construction of the so-called MSB, a "mid-size Bentley” that marked a new stage of Bentley’s revival.

In 2003 Bentley Speed Eight finished third at the 12-hour race in Sebring, Florida.  Bentley cars had been winning the first and the second prizes in Le Mans for almost eighty years since their debut in 1924. The launch of the Limited Edition Bentley Arnage Limousine was followed by the construction of Bentley Continental Flying Spur in 2005, the next project was the exquisite Azure, and one year later Continental GTC was designed.

The revival is total. Arnage and Azure combine the exclusive refinement with the extraordinary power. The Continental range including BGT Convertible shows the company’s intention to captivate a new audience of enthusiasts who wish to experience the true meaning of Grand Touring.

The next chapters in the history of Bentley must be written in the nearest future, and we can predict that they will include the exiting headlines in the motoring press and a heartfelt praise from Bentley lovers worldwide.

Aeroflot

“Aeroflot – Russian Airlines” commonly known as “Aeroflot”, is the flag carrier and largest airline of the Russian Federation. The carrier operates domestic and international passenger services, mainly from its hub at Sheremetyevo International Airport.

Aeroflot is one of the oldest airlines in the world, tracing its history back to 1923. During the Soviet era, Aeroflot was the Soviet national airline and the largest airline in the world. Following the dissolution of the USSR, the carrier has been transformed from a state-run enterprise into a semi-privatized company which ranks amongst the most profitable in the world. Aeroflot is still considered the de facto national airline of Russia. It is 51%-owned by the Russian Government, as of June 2011[update].

The company has embarked on a fleet modernization program, extensive route restructuring, and an image overhaul. On 14 April 2006 Aeroflot became the first air carrier in the former Soviet Union to join a global alliance, SkyTeam. The company became the 10th member of the alliance and occupied all of terminal 3 at Sheremetyevo International Airport in 2009. The company has announced its plan to increase cargo operations. It registered the Aeroflot-Cargo trademark in 2006. During that year Aeroflot carried 7,290,000 passengers and 145,300 tons of mail and cargo to 89 destinations in 47 countries. It saw improvements in its earnings and number of passengers carried. The net profit reached $309.4 million (RUB 7.98 billion) in 2006, a 32.3% increase from 2005 earnings of only $234 million (RUB6.03 billion). The revenue for the same 2005–2006 period rose by 13.5% to reach $2.77 billion with an 8.7% gain in passenger numbers.

Aeroflot became the only shareholder of Donavia —a domestic airline then-named Aeroflot-Don— in December 2006 (2006-12), when it boosted its stake in the company from 51% to 100%; soon afterwards, Aeroflot-Nord was created following the buyout of Arkhangelsk Airlines In February 2010 (2010-02), the Russian government announced that all regional airlines owned by the state through the holding company Rostechnologii would be consolidated with the national carrier Aeroflot in order to increase the airlines' financial viability. The merger was completed in late November 2011 (2011-11); in a deal worth US$81 million, Aeroflot's sister company Aeroflot-Finance became the major shareholder of Vladivostok Avia, Saravia and Rossiya Airlines, and the sole shareholder of both SAT Airlines and Orenair.

Since March 2007[update], Aeroflot is owned by the Russian Government via Rosimushchestvo, National Reserve Corporation and employees and others. The company has more then 14,900 employees. Nowadays Aeroflot operates scheduled passenger and cargo flights from its hub at Sheremetyevo International Airport to 52 countries, serving 116 destinations.

INTRODUCTION

What makes a good presentation? Without exception, all good presenters have one thing in common, enthusiasm, both for their subject and for the business of presenting it. The best public speakers always make what they say sound as if it really matters. They know if it matters to them, it will matter to the audience. Many different things contribute to the success of presentation: new and unusual content, a clear structure, the imaginative use of visual aids, the ability to make people laugh and think and, of course, enthusiasm. Here are some pieces of advice for you: study and try to follow them and you’ll be successful at any presentation!    

How to become a good presenter

Leave nothing to change

Check everything before you are due to speak – room, seating, visibility, acoustics and equipment.

Know exactly how to start

Plan the first minute of your presentation down to the last detail. Try to memorize your opening words. This will help you to sound confident and in control.

Get straight to the point

Don’t waste time on long boring introductions. Try to make at least one powerful statement in the first two minutes.

Talk to your audience

Many of the best presentations sound more like conversations. So, keep referring back to your audience, ask them questions and respond to their reactions.

Know what works

Certain things are always popular with an audience: personal experiences, stories with a message, dramatic comparisons, amazing facts they didn’t know. Use them to the full.

Be concise

Keep your sentences short and simple. Use deliberate pauses to punctuate your speech.

Speak naturally

Don’t be afraid to hesitate when you speak, but make sure you pause in the right places. Remember, you are not an actor trying to remember lines. A certain amount of hesitation is actually quite natural.

Know your audience

Speak for your audience, not yourself. Take every opportunity to show how much common ground you share with them. Address their goals, their needs, and their concerns.

Treat your audience as equals

Never talk down (or up) to your audience. Treat them as equals, no matter who they are.

Be  yourself

As far as possible, speak to five hundred people in much the same way you would speak to five. You will obviously need to project yourself more, but your personality shouldn’t change.

Take your time

Whenever you make a really important point, pause and let the full significance of what you have said sink in... before you move on.
