Use multimedia wisely
智慧地使用多媒体
Presentations must be both verbal and visual. Don??t overwhelm your audience with too much information, animations and pictures. Question: Can your visual be understood in 3 seconds? If not, don't use it!
演说应该是包含了听觉和视觉两方面的。不要给你的听众提供过多的信息,动画和图片。想想:你的这些图像可以在3秒内被理解吗?如果不能,那就不要用它!
Include short stories to explain your main points
用短小的故事表达你的主要观点
The best presenters illustrate their points with the use of stories, especially personal ones. Stories are easy to remember for your audience.
最优秀的演说家往往用故事来表达观点,特别是个人亲身经历的事情。因为故事往往更容易被观众记住。
Respect your audience
尊重你的观众
There are three components involved in a presentation: the audience, you, and the medium (e.g. PowerPoint)。 The goal is to create a kind of harmony among the three. But above all, the most important thing is that you get your audience involved and engaged.
一场演讲包含三个组成部分:观众,你,还有媒介(比如,演示文稿)。我们的目标是让这三者和谐共处。但最重要的一点是,你要调动起观众的积极性,让他们参与进来。
Limit your ideas to one main idea per slide
每一页幻灯片只表达一个主要观点
If you have a complicated slide with lots of different data, it may be better to break it up into 2-3 different slides.
