Can you turn 150 pages into a 5 minute presentation before a meeting?

Failing to prepare is preparing to fail, and I fear that is your problem! You are overwhelmed and don't have a clue where to start.

Personally yes, I could as I have worked on sakes and marketing, so gave many presentations on a variety of subjects.

Now working as an English language teacher I teach students to give presentations to get good exam results and am currently teaching Algerian trainee pilots to give presentations, describe a photo, read a taxt and summarise it and to answer questions on all 3 disciplines.

Why do people hate fat people so much, even people who aren't exactly supermodels themselves? It seems like such a deep, passionate hatred, like they're offended by fat people just existing. Fat people didn't do anything to them, so why hate them?

Use the 4 point plan. Introduction, good points, bad points and conclusion.

Control the room by starting I am xx here to discuss xxx and will answer questions at the end of my presentation.

If necessary send something to everyone in advance again with highlights you want to emphasise or hand something out at the end.

What would happen if the Soviet Union had simply annexed Manchuria after World War 2 or kept it independent as a puppet state allied them and separate from China as China was too weak too oppose it anyway?

With no knowledge of the subject, or your level of English, giving presentations and editing it's hard to say!

Use diagrams or photos with simple key points

Lots of the writing will be blah blah blah so ignore it. It's the who, where, when, why and how much that counts, usually.

Do you have any fantasies you are ashamed of?
