The chapters have been designed around functions. In every chapter, there is. emphasis on a particular aspect of giving a presentation. So throughout the book, the, students become more and more aware of what makes a good presentation. The very good thing about the book is that it provides ample opportunity for practice.We are grateful to our colleagues Necla Çıkıgil and Aysem Karadag, who have worked diligently and devotedly in the preparation and revision of this particular book. In this revised edition, the authors supplemented the book with new texts, exercises, and sample speeches. Furthermore, they enriched the input where necessary. We hope to make our students better speakers with the help of this book.
