Business English: Presenting Structure and Phrases
Presenting structure and phrases is the B2 formal-presentation skill that powers every product launch, project update, and conference talk. The worksheet covers the canonical presentation structure (hook opening, agenda, main points with signposting, conclusion, Q&A), signposting language (To begin with, Moving on to, This brings us to, In conclusion), and audience-engagement techniques (rhetorical questions, illustrative examples, summary checkpoints).
This worksheet builds B2 fluency with presentation structure and language.

Common challenges: Signposting at B2 is the band-discriminator — strong presenters signal structure explicitly; weaker ones don’t. Audience-pacing: avoiding both over-fast (no time to absorb) and over-slow (boredom). Q&A handling: bridging from question to answer with grace.
