ESL Podcast 644 – Giving a Successful Presentation

（单词翻译）

　　Event organizer: Do you hear that? It’s a packed house and your presentation was a hit. People are clamoring for more.
Herman: I can’t believe it. I wasn’t expecting that kind of reception. The audience really seemed to like it.
Event organizer: Like it? They were on the edge of their seats.
Herman: The presentation actually started slowly, but it seemed to gain traction¹ in the middle.
Event organizer: You had the audience hooked from the start. You could have heard a pin drop in there when you were going over your main points. Your presentation is undoubtedly² the highlight of the conference.
Herman: Thanks. I’m still in shock. Maybe if I tweaked it a little, I could give this presentation at the national conference.
Event organizer: You’ll have time later to think about that. Right now, you need to get out there for the Q&A. They’re waiting for you.
Herman: But I don’t have anything else to say.
Event organizer: Just get out there. Your adoring public is waiting for you!
