b. use bullet points
DO NOT beat around the bush.
2. KEEP your points parallel to avoid confusion.
3. BREAK DOWN your presentation into 3 key points. (This helps focus the audience's attention.)
4. EXAMPLES help explain your point. (This streamlines the discussion to more specific and applicable real-life situations.)
