How It Helps Your Business English
The lesson opens with the reasons a set phrase helps a speaker, then gives expressions for greeting an audience, introducing a topic, catching attention and opening a speech. Further groups cover transitions, examples, emphasis, summing up and handling questions. Advice follows on general preparation, on structuring a speech and on body language.
