Good morning and thank you for all coming, my name is Benito and this is Kamy
and I study in the Faculty of Business
if i say the words China White or k zǎi (K仔), do you know what I'm talking about?
Well, these are both terms for illegal drugs, China White is a term for ***, while k zǎi
is a street term for Ketamine
do you think these drugs are a problem for teenagers in Hong Kong? If it's a problem
what are the solutions to get teenagers off drugs?
well, this is the focus of my presentation here today
the title of which is, illegal drugs in Hong Kong, problems and possible solutions
my presentation which ... Can you spot what the students are doing wrong?
if you said looking down at note cards and not at the audience, then you are correct
a good presentation involves interacting with your audience and making them feel
like you're talking directly to them
okay turning to my first point, the perception that drugs are problem in Hong Kong among
teenagers
if you read newspaper reports, or if you look on government websites you would
believe that drug abuse is rampant in secondary schools
especially in the ... Can you see what he shouldn't have done here?
that's right
sitting down and looking bored isn't an effective way to gain the audience's
attention
you're trying to explain some things, so you want them to focus on what you have
to say
Are you tired of listening to Benito yet?
that may be because he is simply reading to you in one tone
while making eye contact and interacting with your audience is important, so
is intonation
you should vary the speed, volume and pitch in the delivery
and place stress on the key words
these simple actions can add some life to your speech
for the drug Ketamine
in another case, two teenage girls were found semi-conscious in a car park
after over-dosing on Ketamine
Can you see what Kami is doing while Benito is presenting?
that's right, she's checking her phone during the presentation
even though she's not speaking, she should put her phone and other
distractions away
this is her presentation too, and the audience is watching both her and Benito
and for those
under 16
and those between
16 and 20
the
number of users has gone down in recent years
also if you look at
absolute numbers
Did you see what she didn't do right in that clip?
Yes, you're right, looking at the screen isn't a good idea. How do you think they
could have done that better? Well, one way would have been to use more
gestures
while this is
148
too many
the numbers get
extremely low
for example, there were 20 new users of
how to pronounce
(speaks Cantonese)
.. Cannabis
who were under ... Did you hear what Kami did wrong there?
that's right
she asked Benito how to pronounce a word
practicing before a presentation shows the audience that you want to deliver a good
quality presentation
OK, I would like to look at
two solutions in Hong Kong to combat the drug problems among teenagers
I'm going to look at
two policies, the first one is drug testing in schools
the second one is methadone clinics
Can you see the differences in Benito's delivery now?
he's standing up straight, making eye contact and smiling
he's letting the audience know that he's interested in what he has to say
our final point today is about
methadone clinics in Hong Kong
methadone clinics are an unrestricted, non-residential treatment programme
provided by the Department of Health
look at Benito's position
he isn't blocking the screen and he doesn't have his back to the audience
he points out key terms on the PowerPoint slide but still manages to face the
audience
OK, that's all for our presentation
turning now to my conclusion, I'd like to go over the key points of today's
presentation
this brings me to the end of our presentation today, thank you all for
listening, so now if you have any questions, we would be happy to answer them
Did you see the changes Kami has made?
she isn't reading from her notes anymore
she's addressing her audience, she's using intonation and her voice to
engage the listeners
