Warm greetings to you, and thank you for joining us on this mid-December Monday!
This week, we'll look at five key elements found in many well-crafted presentations (written or spoken). You're sure to have lots of opportunities to use these when presenting your own ideas or when discussing the presentations of others!
BACKGROUND (information) 背景、予備知識
- Background is information about the events or conditions leading up to something.
- background とは、何かにつながる出来事や状況に関する情報、つまり、背景、予備知識のことです。
- (giving a presentation)
Before I describe our plans for the future, I'll begin with some background on the company: how it was founded and how it has developed over the years. - (recruiter to client)
If you can tell me a little more about your background, especially the kind of work you've done up to now, it will be easier to place you with an employer. - Here are two reports that provide background information on the problem. Please read them before Thursday's meeting.
- Without considering the historical background of a country, you cannot truly understand its people.
Now that you're up to speed on the background, come back tomorrow for the main event!
