Hi, it's Carl Kwan here with Presentation Quick Tip #6.

Present continuous

In this week's video, you're going to learn about how to time and space out the content

To-infinitive

in your presentation to keep your audience from getting bored.

Now, everyone has a very limited attention span.

They can only pay attention for maybe 3-5 minutes, maybe 7 minutes if you're lucky.

So what you wanna do is after 3-5 minutes, you wanna say, "But here's something really

interesting." And then present a fact or a statistic or

some kind of really interesting piece of information that will re-engage your audience.

And make sure though that that piece of information really is interesting or they're still gonna

be bored. So remember, if you want to engage your audience

and keep their attention, and make sure they don't kinda start dozing off, every 3-5 minutes

introduce something that is going to be interesting to them...A stat or a figure, or whatever

kind of fact or information that they will find interesting, that'll re-engage them.

And that is Presentation Quick Tip #6. If you have any questions or comments, please

leave them below this video. Thanks for watching.
