　　When planning a presentation, speakers should first be clear about the composition of audience. The types of audience determine the techniques and languages they are going to use in the presentation. For example, if the speaker is faced with a group of migrant workers with poor educational background, he is supposed to use simple language with less graphs and technical words.

　　Secondly, a good presentation depends on the support of equipment. Speakers must cooperate with the organizers to ensure that all needed equipment stands by and there should always be spare equipment in case anything goes wrong during the presentation. Meanwhile, the lighting and seating arrangement are to be fully prepared before the presentation.

　　Moreover, to give a good presentation, the speaker is expected to have a thorough research on the topic. A good preparation will make the speaker confident of his performance, which in turn will arouse the audience’s enthusiasm. Last but not least, a knowledge person is not necessarily a good presenter, so in order to improve the quality of his presentation; the speaker must learn presentation skills and practice them.
