Presentation skills Example answer Hello, everyone. I’m an undergraduate student here at Nankai University and I’m happy I was asked to tell you something about the university. Nankai is actually one of the oldest universities in China, founded in 1919, and it’s a key multi-disciplinary university which is well-known for research. Alumni from Nankai include the late Premier Zhou Enlai, the mathematician Chen Shengshen and the playwright Cao Yu, among many others and the university is associated with a number of Nobel Prize winners. The university is quite international and is keen to develop even more links. Of course, there’s a lot more to say about the university and I’m sure you’ll have questions as we go around the campus. The campus environment is very pleasant, with the lakes and trees, and we students enjoy studying here. I would like to stop here. Thank you very much for listening to my presentation. I will be very happy to answer your questions if you have any.
