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

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

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

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

Everyone says the pet population is out of control. Everyone says you MUST spay or neuter your pets. No one wants to talk about how its almost $1,000 to spay or neuter a pet. Why is it so expensive if its so necessary? Animal shelters do it for free.

Use diagrams or photos with simple key points

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

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.

What is your favourite true story to tell at a party?

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.

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

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.

Are there any more 'nun' jokes?
