Presentation tips:

Clear presentation = what is your topic and why; good idea to talk about the <======= example topics

Reduce text = only add key phrases & important info

Keep it simple but pretty! = don't use distracting backgrounds

Use images, quotes = good idea to explain why you included them = more speaking!


Common mistakes!

sounds & words

    “this” → dis, “think” → tink

  • Dutch fillers: “uhm… zeg maar… ja…”

  • English fillers: “like… like...er...you know ”

  • overusing very & really: ipv very nice, really interesting -> fantastic, engaging

  • populair, idea
