Giving a demonstration
When we give a demonstration, we're showing people how to make or do something. Remember that what may seem obvious to us may not be obvious to others. So try to be very clear and explain each stage very carefully. First, we should explain what we need for whatever we1 re making or doing. For a recipe, these will be the ingredients. Then we need to give step-by-step instructions of how to make it. We usually use the imperative or present simple for these instructions. Next, we should give special advice by saying what we must or mustn't do. Finally, don't forget to use words like first, then, next and finally because they help the audience follow the stages of the demonstration more easily. Try to smile and look at the audience often.
