with a single line through the center In giving a business presentation many speakers think that if their idea is strong their audience will get it readily They feel discouraged when the audience is unable to understand their presentations That happens a lot especially when technical experts are invited to make a product presentation to a group of users What can we do to make a business presentation easier to understand In my view good presentations have always been simple and visual In an effective business presentation the fewer the points the better the message gets passed on You focus on the depth of coverage instead of the width 广度 of coverage Additionally you make your ideas visual and relevant so the message is understood better and remembered longer Great business presenters relate their ideas and concepts to their audience by using simple powerful diagrams instead of relying on text based slides In fact drawing diagrams forces a presenter to make the idea clear even at the preparation stage It is impossible to draw a diagram when you are not clear about an idea When your idea is clear it is easier to transfer it Most audiences understand a diagram faster and remember it longer This possibly explains why most of the memorable presentations have been visual in nature 36 Many speakers believe that the stronger their idea A the more powerful their speech will be B the more meaningful their speech will be C the more easily the audience will understand it D the harder the audience will find it to follow 37 Why are you advised to give fewer points in your presentation A To pass on the messages better C To allow audience to take notes B To avoid wasting too much time D To leave more time for questions 38 The speaker can help the audience remember the message longer by A displaying text based slides C focusing on the width of of coverage B avoiding long technical terms D using simple and powerful diagrams 39 The underlined word transfer in this passage most probably means A create B pass on C take off D describe 40 This passage is mainly about A how to make an effective business presentation B how to present strong ideas in
