MEMO (2)
I am writing to inform you of my intention to resign from G & S Holdings. I have appreciated very much my four years working for the company. The training has been excellent and I have gained valuable experience working within an efficient and professional team environment. In particular, I have appreciated your personal guidance during these first years of my career. I feel now that it is time to further develop my knowledge and skills base in a different environment. I would like to leave, if possible, in a month's time on Saturday, 5 June. This will allow me to complete my current workload. I hope that this suggested arrangement is acceptable to the company. Once again, thank you for your support. |

| UNIT 5 PRESENTATION |
1. LEAD-IN
1.1 A presentation is a formal talk to one or more people that "presents" ideas or information in a clear, structured way. People are sometimes afraid of speaking in public. Some people, and only a very few, are able to stand up in front of an audience without preparation and speak interestingly and clearly. Most of us have to prepare and organize our presentation in advance. If you follow a few simple rules, giving a presentation is actually very easy.
1.2 Which of the following do you think the presented should think about before the presentation?
ü Who is the audience?
ü What is the subject and title of my presentation?
ü What are the aims of my presentation?
ü How much do the audience know already? What do they want to know?
ü How long is my presentation?
ü What are the main points of the presentation?
ü What structure and order will these points have?
ü What visual aid will I use?
ü How will I begin, introduce each point and conclude?
ü What questions might I be asked?
The good presenter has thought about all these questions in the presentation stage.
1.3 What you say is as important the way you look in front of the audience. Which of these do you think gives an audience a good impression and which a bad impression?
ü looking at your shoes;
ü laughing all the time;
ü turning your back on the audience;
ü keeping eye contact with members of the audience;
ü having your notes in the wrong order;
ü looking out of the window;
ü swaying from side to side;
ü hands in your pockets;
ü a bored look;
ü a smile;
ü shouting;
ü apologizing all the time;
ü talking to all the audience not just your friends;
ü sitting down.
