  3. Why do we want to give presentations? Reasons: Obligation for publication Obligation for job report Obligation for work review Obligation for communication Real reasons: Opportunityto advertise your work Opportunityto demonstrate yourself Opportunityto improve self-understanding Opportunityto influence others Every presentation creates an opportunity for self-advancement!

  4. What a presentation is about? Motivation: What the problem is. Justification: What the approach is. Reward: What the solution is. The truth is: Whyis the problem worth researching? Whyis your approach the best possible? Whyis the solution generalizable or limited? Public want to know what; intellectuals need to know why. （外行看热闹，内行看门道！）

  5. How to improve your presentation content: Symptoms: The same talk for all audiences Assume audience know Diminish work by others Describe all details flatly Prescriptions: A different talk for each audience Put yourself in the shoes of the audience Stand on the shoulder of giants Select one or two essential messages (凸凹有致，重点突出！) Your talk is as good as the most valuable message got crossed.

  6. How to improve your presentation form: Prescriptions: One punch line per slide Enhance with additional visual aids Slides entirely for the audience Tell your story from the slides Symptoms: Two many words on each slide Slides are summary of the paper Read slides as notes Speak from memorized notes Practice with scripts, perform without! （练时有招，用时无招!)

  7. How to improve presentation skills? Symptoms: Not well prepared Blaming English Lack interest in the content Nervous gestures or voices Bad answers and arguments Prescriptions: Never too much time and practice Design in your native language Better preparation (or better research) Pay attention to yourself You have the podium!

  8. How to start to improve? • Know how good or bad your presentations are. • (take and watch videos of your own presentation!) • Ask your colleagues to criticize. • (train and improve through practice talks.) • Learn from both bad and good presentations. • (go to every talk you can attend!) • Learning from doing. • (get every chance to design(自编), direct(自导), and perform(自演)!) Dexterity comes from practice. （ 勤能补拙，熟能生巧！）

  9. Exert your influence through great presentations!
