STRUCTURING A PRESENTATION
(2)
The purpose of the introduction is not only to tell the audience who you are, what the talk is about,
and why it is relevant to them; you also want to tell the audience (briefly) how the talk is structured.
Here are some useful phrases to talk about the structure.
I’ve divided
my presentation
into
three (main) parts: x, y, and z.
In my presentation
I’ll focus on
three major issues.
First (of all)
, I’ll be looking at …,
second
…, and
third
I’ll begin / start off by
explaining …
Then / Next / After that
, I’ll go on to …
Finally
, I’ll offer some solutions.
The most common way to structure
a presentation is to have three
main parts, and then subdivide
them into (three) smaller sections.
