And we&#8217;ve all worried during our own presentations that others might be feeling that way. So what can we do to prevent this?<\/p>\n<p>A presentation needs impact. It needs to make the audience feel something, understand something, or believe something. And it needs to make them want to do something. Fortunately, there are some simple techniques and language that you can learn that will add impact to your presentations. And then people will look at you, and not out the window.<\/p>\n<p>In this lesson, we&#8217;ll hear part of a presentation delivered by Ben. Ben is going to talk to his colleagues and managers about cloud computing. But first he is going to identify a problem and then show that there needs to be a solution to that problem. Only then can he help them understand what cloud computing is and what benefits it might bring to the company.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Listening Questions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.
