A good way to make your presentations effective, interesting and easy to follow is to use  signpost language. 'Signpost language'  is the words and phrases that people use to tell the listener what has just happened, and what is going to happen next.  使你的簡報變得有效、有趣、容易跟上的一個好方法，就是使用標示語(signpost language)。標示語由字詞或片語組成，簡報演講者向聽眾解說時使用，說明發生了什麼事，以及接下來要發生什麼事。 In other words, signpost language guides the listener through the presentation. A good presenter will usually use a lot of signpost language, so it is a good idea to learn a few of the common phrases, even if you spend more time listening to presentations than giving them! Signpost language is usually fairly informal, so it is relatively easy to understand. 換句話說，標示語在簡報中被用來指導聽眾。一個好的簡報者會運用大量的標示語，故學習使用一些常見的片語未嘗不是件明智之舉，你也可以花些時間聽聽這些簡報然後應用他們。標示語通常是非正式的，相對的也很容易了解。

So what makes a good presentation?好的簡報有那些因素? Think about the presentations that you have been to. What were the characteristics of the good ones? 想想你曾經聽過的簡報中，好的簡報有哪些特性呢? The aims and the structure need to be clear 有清楚的目標與架構 Wait until the end of the presentation before people feed back on what you’ve said 等到簡報結束後，聽眾才回應你所說的(不要被聽眾打斷了你的簡報) Make sure you are entertaining, engaging and interesting 要有娛樂性，參與感，並且有趣 Don’t make it too long 不要太長 Be short, precise and to the point 簡短，精簡，切中要點  Make sure you’re relevant – make sure you’re talking to the right audience 要有關聯性，對正確的聽眾講正確的內容
