This is the first time ever talking about presentations on my ESL podcast, so I hope you guys enjoy this.
I know a lot of students around the world have to do presentations in their English classes, so this speaking skill is essential. Not only that, having linkers, transitions, opening up your talk, and closing is very vital. So, let’s get into it.
Speaking Bank
