How are you doing with your presentation preparation? I hope you are doing well and will be ready for next week's final presentations. In this new post, I have some useful expressions that you can use when speaking in your poster presentation talk. 

This will be my last post for all of you - so please read this!

SOME USEFUL EXPRESSIONS

Using these expressions is called signposting - using words and phrases that signal to the audience how you introduce your subject, then how you go to the next part of the presentation, and so on. 

1. Introducing your subject

TMThank you for your time today. I'd like to begin by...

TMFirst of all, I'll...

TMStarting with this point, I'll...

TMI'll begin (today) with...

2. Ordering points or parts

TMFirst(ly)...second(ly)...third(ly)...last(ly)...

TMFirst...then...next...after that...finally...

TMTo start/begin with...later...to finish up...in the end...

3. Finishing one point or part and starting a new point or part

TMWe've looked at...let me (now) turn to...

TMAnd that's this point...I'd like to now show you...

TMFrom here, let's (now) look at...

4. Giving examples

TMFor example...

TMTo give you an example...

TMA good example (of this) is...

5. Concluding (finishing) your talk

TMI'd like to finish (up) by saying...and thank you for listening today.

TMLet me finish by saying...thank you for your time today.

TMTo sum up...and that's all. Thank you for listening.

You don't have to use every one of these expressions! But for each part of your talk, you should use at least one of the expressions above as you go along in your talk.
