Read an article about making presentations. Check if any of the characteristics you listed in activity 1 are mentioned in the text. Co-authored by 11 contributors Community of editors, researchers, and specialists October 22, 2019 Presentations can be nerve-wracking to give. You’re far more likely to walk into a […] meeting with confidence if your writing and visuals are compelling. Take time to carefully compose your story, practice and make a slideshow that will impress your audience. Thankfully, there are plenty of modern tools and programs that provide beautiful presentation templates. Part 1 _______________________________________________________________________ 1 Create an outline before you start writing. Follow the traditional outline of introduction, evidence, insights and conclusion. Imagine you are writing a story and need to map out the plot. 2 Use the rule of threes. Structure your report to respond to three aspects of the thing you are presenting or answer three questions, such as “what,” “why” and “how.” The human mind is set up to respond positively to three things in a list or in a presentation. 3 Tell a story or ask a question to get the audience thinking right away. This will help evoke a mental image and get them thinking critically about what you’re saying. 4 Find the most compelling data. Balance that and then tell them why the data is important in each of your three sections. Remember, most of the data can be shown with visual aids, so don’t over report. 5 Ask the audience questions. […] Build interaction into your presentation to avoid boring lectures. 6 Match the vocabulary and tone to your audience. […] Research your audience so that you can better customize your presentation to their needs. 7 Ensure there is good flow to your presentation. Practice it in front of a […] friend so that you can ask them what they’ve taken away from the presentation. 8 Explain how your presentation or proposal adds value to the person’s life. The audience may only leave with this impression. 9 Keep it short and sweet. A shorter presentation is likely to be memorable. If the presentation is over 30 minutes, you should consider cutting it back or breaking it up into several chapters. Part 2 _______________________________________________________________________ 1 Pick your platform strategically. If you don’t have a projection screen or you’re outside in full sunlight, a PowerPoint won’t be the best way to present your data. […] you might be able to employ a laptop, a projector or even cell phones to ensure you are reaching your audience. 2 Select a template that fits your audience. There’s very little reason to design your own template when so many slideshow programs give you compelling templates to choose from. 3 Choose a consistent design. Consistency allows the listener to notice the information, rather than the way it’s presented. Don’t change colors, fonts or structure unnecessarily. 4 Avoid excessive text in your slides. Use white space so that the audience’s attention is focused on particular data. 5 Use graphs, charts and other visual tools, in place of bulleted lists whenever possible. Your speaking will provide the insights, so give the data in the most straightforward way. 6 Try using infographics. This is a chart or graph that incorporates pictures with data and words to form a coherent, and very attractive, story. You may need to use an infographic service […]. 7 Use photographs that are relevant. Make sure you don’t simply use stock imagery. Any way you can tie in […] emotional images will create a better response. 8 Focus on the slides themselves, rather than the music or transitions. These things can detract from a presentation, rather than add to it. A no-frills approach is usually best. 9 Proof your visuals. Ask someone else to proof them. Including typos or incorrect data will reflect poorly on you. […] Glossary visual aid: something such as a map, a graph or a picture that helps people understand an idea. tool: a piece of equipment, software or skill that can help you do something. Read again the introduction of the article and check () the incorrect sentence about it. a) People can get really nervous about giving presentations. b) It’s important to take time to prepare your presentation carefully. c) There aren’t many software programs that can help people prepare presentations.

Read the text below and answer the question about it. As soon as he took office as the mayor of the city of São Paulo in 2017, João Doria started a war against graffiti. Termed Maré Cinza (gray tide), the mayor’s plan to remove graffiti from the city walls started from Avenida 23 de Maio. The move provoked a wave of protests and a lawsuit. An injunction stopped the gray tide operation, but the lawsuit went on. Two years later, a judge assigned damages of more than 780,000 reais (around 183,000 dollars) that the mayor (who was later elected governor of the State of São Paulo) had to pay to the Funcap (the São Paulo fund for the protection of the cultural and environmental heritage). In his decision, the judge says that “the exercise of freedom by a citizen should not exclude or diminish the exercise of freedom of another”. The judge also said that his decision was meant to preserve “the collective dimension of urban art as the artistic expression of the peripheral community of the city of São Paulo.” O magistrado que julgou o processo da maré cinza da cidade de São Paulo a) reconheceu o grafite como uma forma de arte urbana que serve de meio de expressão para determinados grupos de pessoas. b) admitiu que o grafite polui visualmente a cidade, mas negou à prefeitura o direito de cobri-los de tinta cinza. c) ordenou que a prefeitura contratasse grafiteiros para restaurar as obras danificadas pela operação maré cinza. d) exigiu que o prefeito pagasse multa por ter desrespeitado o direito dos cidadãos paulistas de ter muros limpos de pichações. e) agiu no interesse das comunidades periféricas da cidade de São Paulo, e ordenou que o prefeito financiasse a limpeza dos muros.

Read the text below. New York City’s Post-COVID Future In the midst of a crisis it can be healthy to think of what comes after. In this episode of Here’s the Thing, two of the most influential New Yorkers when it comes to long-term economic planning join Alec to discuss whether the current economic crisis will end quickly when businesses can reopen, or whether instead it’s the start of a longer decline. Kathryn Wylde is a veteran of the urban renewal battles of the 1980s and currently the head of the city’s elite business consortium, the Partnership for New York City. She worries that what makes New York special will now be associated with the spread of disease: its dense population and communal spaces like theaters, museums, bars, and vibrant workplaces. Tom Wright’s organization, the influential Regional Plan Association, is reshaping its long-term vision for the city based on the potential for reduced growth – but Wright says that New York is well positioned to get back on track thanks to its experience overcoming past crises like 9/11 and Hurricane Sandy. Now, mark the best option. By reading the text, we can learn about a) how the Covid-19 pandemic irreversibly affected the economic perspective of New York, making it impossible to restore the City to its former glory. b) how New York City will have to close its communal spaces, like theaters, museums and bars forever, due to the pandemic and the consequential economic crisis. c) when exactly the city will be able to return to its normal life, with streets full of tourists and businesses recovering the time lost during the social isolation. d) the perspectives for New York City and how the metropolis will suffer but can recover, as this is not the first crisis that the city has been through. e) how optimistic both interviewees are that New York City will go back to its dynamic and strong economy as soon as the pandemic is over.

Now read the text to check if you have any similarities with the characters. My name is Carol Visconti. I was born in 2001, which makes me one of the people that the adults call “Generation Z”, as well as my brother David, who was born in 1998. David taught me how to use my first cell phone, but soon I was better than he at downloading songs or making ringtones. Remember that we used to choose fancy ringtones for our flip phones? Mine was the beginning of Hold It Against Me by Britney Spears. I used to be a huge Britney fan, and every time her clip appeared on MTV, I would dance along in our living room. Internet existed, of course, but it was very expensive to use. We would turn it on, use Yahoo to find what we were looking for – where to buy Pokémon Gold or Silver for David’s Game Boy, for example – and then click out of the internet screen hoping they would not charge us for those three seconds of use. My parents used to control the minutes of internet use, and if we used too much, they would give us a lecture about how much it cost. At only 11, David fell in love with a girl from school who then moved to Paris, France. When my parents were not looking, he would call her in Paris. This lasted for three weeks, until the telephone bill came. As far as I know, David never called Paris again in his life. Our computer – one for the whole family – used to crash in the middle of anything important we were doing. Once my father got so angry at losing his work, he wanted to throw the monitor out the window. Thank God my mother stopped him in time. But not even our mother knew that David and I used to play with the mouse ball, until one day it rolled down the stairs into the basement. We never found it again, and David rushed to the mall and spent all his allowance on a new mouse. Those were good times. Answer these questions about the text. a) How did Carol learn how to use her first cell phone? b) What singer did Carol use to be a fan of? c) What did Carol use to do every time Britney’s clip appeared on MTV? d) Why did the Viscontis control the minutes of internet used by their children? e) What did Carol and David use to do with the mouse ball? f) Why did David have to buy a new mouse for the family computer?
