Presentation 常见问题

人都会有“卡壳”的时候，做 presentation 时也有可能出现一些小问题。If you have problems during your presentation, don't panic (不要惊慌). Remember the following two rules: pause (停顿); sort out the problem and continue (整理出问题然后继续).

Here are the eight most common problems people face. Pay attention to "what you say" when the problems listed on left happen to you:

What you think...                                             What you say...

1. I've got my facts wrong!                         Sorry, what I meant was...

2. Too fast! Go back.                                 So, let's recap that.

3. I've forgotten to say something!          Sorry, I should just mention one thing.

4. Too complicated! Make it simple.     So, basically what I'm saying is...

5. I'm talking nonsense.                           Sorry, perhaps I didn't make myself clear.

6. How do you say this in English?         Sorry, what's the word/expression...

7. Wrong! Try again.                                    Sorry, let me rephrase that.

8. I'm running out of time!                            So, just to give you the main points here...
