People can speak loudly and smartly in front of the audience, but if their appearance is improper, the impression will not be quite positive. The same holds true for an essay. An essay is a representation of your understanding of a problem and therefore you should take care of its presentation to make a good first impression on your tutor
Correct spelling and grammar and a readily legible presentation are also essential. Re-read your essay for mistakes in spelling or grammar and for weaknesses in expression. Run a spell check and grammar check, but remember that these often conform to US rather than Australian usage. They are a supplement to, not a substitute for, your own careful editing. Use one side of the paper (A4) only, leaving an adequate margin for comments. Use 12-point font, double spacing or 1.5 spacing for the body of the essay, and single spacing for longer indented quotations (as discussed below).
Be sure to observe the word limit for your essay. You can expect your marker to stop reading once the word limit is reached. Quotations from primary texts are not included in the word count, but quotations from secondary sources are included. Do not pad out your essay with quoted material; the relevance of your quotations is a factor in the assessment of your work.
The way your essay looks may seem unimportant compared to the ideas it contains.However, presenting your assignment appropriately and carefully gives a good impression and makes the process of reading your work more pleasant for the reader. It will also give them confidence that you are a competent author who has
taken care with all aspects of your work, from the superficial details to the more indepth analysis.
Essays should normally be word-processed. This makes them much easier to read for the lecturer and means that you will not lose marks if your handwriting is hard to understand. Word processors are also very helpful in composing your essay, allowing you to make and change drafts easily.
Finally, you can tell a joke or a funny story in the conclusion to create relaxed atmosphere. Also,you should summarize the maint points. To sum up, the most common way is rehearsing and asking the questions involving your talk. Furthermore, you should answer questions directly and involve the audience. Finally, you do not forget to say thank you yo the audience frienlily.
In short, in order to make a good presentation, you will be well prepared for your talk. Besides, you should make eye contact often with the audience as well as use body language effectively. And you must always summarize the main points at the end of the talk. I sure that if you master the step above together with presenting techiques, you will always be successful when giving a presentation.
