Preparation and research

If you want to deliver a good presentation, you must prepare thoroughly beforehand. Here is some advice to help you get started:

  1. Plan your presentation. Decide what you are going to say and how you are going to say it. You could draw a mind map or list a number of bullet points to help you.
  2. Do plenty of research and make sure that you record your sources as you will need to refer to these during the presentation. The Welsh word for research is ymchwil. The verb, to research is ymchwilio. The Welsh expression for to look for information is chwilio am wybodaeth. You may need to use these words during the presentation.

How will you research?

You could look on the internet and talk to people. Here are some key expressions for you:

  • chwilio ar y we – to search on the internet
  • mynd ar y we – to go on the internet
