Presentation
Hi, I am Sherry, I am glad to talk about presentation. On presentation, I am a real estate agent, The average of making sales presentation is about two times per work day. I think maybe I have made hundreds of presentations so far.
Until now,I do not think that I can do it perfectly,It needs a long period practicing and proving. In the past few years, I have made a lot of mistakes in presentation, for example: When I introduced the first step about my project and then I was nervous for forgot next step what things I should to say; on other satiation, when I show my project to a crowd of clients or leaders, I do not have enough confidence and just wanted to finish my job quickly, so I just speech without any eyes contact and reaction. You can imagine it , a failed job I did.
However, a good thing is that I can do it better now and not easy to feel nervous or freeze up.
Now, we have learned this essay how to make a good presentation. It is very useful. For me, the very important points are always force on your audience and make sure you said that really are they want to know, or else you may doing a unused job.

Presentation
Hi, I am Sherry, I am glad/happy/excited to talk about presentations. I am a real estate agent so/therefore, I give a lot of presentations. I  make an average of two sales presentations per work day. I think maybe I have made hundreds of presentations so far.
Until now, I do not think that I can do it perfectly because they need a long period of practicing and improving. In the past few years, I have made a lot of mistakes while giving presentations, for example: Once, I introduced the first step of my project and then I was so nervous that I forgot the next step and what I had to say.

In another situation, when I showed my project to a crowd of clients or managers/bosses, I did not have enough confidence and just wanted to finish my job quickly, so I just spoke without any eye contact and reaction. You can imagine, I failed this presentation.

However, a good thing is that I can do it better now and don’t feel nervous or freeze up as easily. Recently we read an essay about how to make a good presentation and it was very useful. For me, the most important points are to always focus on your audience and make sure you talk about things they really want to know, or else you may end up doing a useless job.

Recently, I have felt my eyes are getting tired more easily, especially if I look at my phone for over half an hour. However I often have to use it. Every morning, I use the alarm on my phone to get up and every time, I want to check what time it is, I always see it on my phone. Today, I’m trying not to use it for awhile, so whenever I hear the WeChat ringtone, I don’t want to look, but if it is an important message from my company’s group chat, I have to.
