Please be ready on your group's day to present! Nozofisu's name might change - but they'll still present on Monday. 

Here are some useful expressions!

You can use these when speaking in your talk. Using these expressions is called signposting - using words and phrases that signal to the audience how you introduce your topic, how you go to the next part of your talk, and so on. 

1. Introducing your topic

Thank you for your time today. we'd like to begin by...

First of all, we'll...

Starting with this point, we'll...

We'll begin with...

2. Ordering points or parts

First(ly)...second(ly)...third(ly)...last(ly)...

First...then...next...after that...finally...

To begin with...later...to finish up...

3. Finishing one point and starting a new point 

We've looked at...(now) let's turn to...

And that's this point...now we'd like to show you...

From here let's look at...

4. Giving examples

For example...

To give you an example...

5. Finishing your talk
We'd like to finish by saying...thank you for listening today.

Let us finish by saying...thank you for your time today.

To 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 these expressions as you go along.
