Marc follows the ‘rules’ of good presenting. He doesn’t speak too fast and he pauses in appropriate places. He uses some jargon but he takes care to explain it. He varies sentence length but avoids using very long sentences. He uses the right collocations (word combinations). Finally, he checks to see if listeners are following and he uses signposting language.
