Presentation is the practice of showing and
explaining the content of a topic to an
audience or learner.
Presentation is also the means of
communication which can be adapted to
various speaking situation, such as talking to
a group, addressing a meeting or briefing a
team
There are 5 types of presentation:
1 ) Informative: Keep an informative
presentation brief and to the point. Stick to
the facts and avoid complicated information.
2) Instructional: Your purpose in an
instructional presentation is to give specific
directions or orders. Your presentation will
probably be a bit longer, because it has to
cover your topic thoroughly.
3) Arousing: Your purpose in an arousing
presentation is to make people think about a
certain problem or situation.
4) Decision-making: Your purpose in a decision-
making presentation is to move your audience to
take your suggested action. A decision-making
presentation presents ideas, suggestions, and
arguments strongly enough to persuade an
audience to carry out your requests.

presentation is to convince your listeners to
accept your proposal
