At least practice one time, countdown the time

7. How to present the “B” in ABA?
B = Body of the speech
Prepare three to five major points on your topic. Explain each point and give supporting information (examples, data, etc)
When you move on to the next point, tell the audience. Use the following expressions:

11. QA
Finally, ask the audience “Now, are there any questions?” “Please feel free to ask me any questions.” “At this point, I would be happy to answer your questions.”
When you are asked a question, listen carefully. Avoid the temptation to interrupt.

You may take a moment to think before answering. You can comment on a question before you actually answer it.
e.g. “That’s a very interesting question…”
“ Well, as I said in my speech…”
“ I’m afraid I don’t know the answer to your question. Can you say again?
