4 . Making an organized presentation(报告）starts with your introduction. The introduction opens your speech. It’s common for many presenters to start their talks with the sentence like "My name is...” or "Today I’m going to talk to you about...”,but this is not much of an introduction.

A good introduction in a formal（正式的) presentation must achieve three goals:

●Win the listeners’ attention.

●Make the topic and the purpose of the talk clear.

●Provide a general description of what you will cover in the talk.

Useful tips for winning listeners’ attention:

●Quote(引述）someone else.   A quote is words said by someone else that is helpful to what you're going to talk about. When using a quote, you need to do two things: Mention where the words come from and connect the quote with your topic.

●Tell a joke.   A touch of humor in good taste is a great way to break the ice, making people relaxed. The key is that the joke must be connected with the topic you’re going to talk about, or it will take the listeners’ attention away from your speech, making them lose interest in your presentation.

●Share a story.   A short story is another clever way to start a presentation. To work, the story needs to show a key point or include a message that you can connect with the talk.
