时间：2018-12-05 作者：英语课 分类：商务英语演讲课
This is the second in a two-part usiness English Pod series about adding impact to your presentations.
Nobody likes a long and boring presentation. In fact, a long and boring presentation can do a lot of damage. People might actually feel less convinced of your idea. And that’s certainly not what you want. It doesn’t matter if you’re giving a presentation at a staff meeting or a sales presentation to a potential client. You have to make an impression. Most business people have to sit through a lot of meetings and presentations, and it can be difficult to impress them. So how are you going to make them sit up and listen? How are you going to convince them of your idea?
You need impact. Fortunately, there are specific things you can do to add impact. And that’s what we’re talking about today.
In our last episode 1, we heard Ben talk about the problem of too many documents on too many computers in too many locations. He finished by suggesting that he has a solution to this problem. In today’s lesson, Ben will continue his presentation. He’s going to talk about cloud computing 2, which he thinks can solve many problems in the department. He’ll use several different techniques for adding impact.
Listening Questions
1. What are the benefits of the system that Ben is suggesting?
2. Why does Ben mention several large companies such as IBM and Dell?
3. What does Ben think that people should spend less time doing?
