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。
