Choose the correct letter, A, B, or C. [br] Cassie and Devin will share the work

T: OK, well you’d better stick to the most obvious differences because you’ve only got ten minutes for the whole presentation, haven’t you? And you said you’re going to evaluate each site as well, didn’t you? How are you going to do that? I mean what criteria will you use?
C: We thought we’d use three criteria: how attractive each website is, how user-friendly it is, and how closely it targets its potential customers. Do you think that’s OK?
T: Sounds fine. But I’d look at the criteria in a different order if I were you. Because really you’ve got to look at attractiveness and user-friendliness in relation to the people the website is aiming at. So, I’d deal with that criterion first if I were you.
C: Right.
T: What about the timing? Have you thought of that? Ten minutes is very short you know.
D: Yes. We tried it out.
C: Several times!
D: And we’ve decided to spend four minutes comparing the two sites, then three minutes evaluating them, and leave three minutes for questions. That’s not really enough, but...
T: WeII it sounds about right to me. You’ve gotten minutes altogether and you have got to stick to that limit. It’s good practice, and at least the audience won’t have time to get bored! What visuals are you going to use?
D: We’re going to use PowerPoint and a flip chart as well.
C: So we can show two things at once. For example, we’re going to start by showing the Home Pages of each website, and we’re going to put up a list of key features on the flip chart at the same time.
T: OK. And it’s a joint presentation, so have you decided how you’re going to share the work?
D: Yes. First, we thought we’d keep taking it in turns to speak — Cassie would say a bit, then I’d take over, and so on. Then we thought we’d just divide it into two equal parts and do one part each. But it was all too complicated. So Cassie’s going to do all the talking, and I’m going to manage the visuals. And hope we can coordinate properly!
C: It’s the only way we can fit everything in.
T: Well, good. You’ve obviously worked hard and you’ve been very careful with the details. Only one thing I would say: make sure that you keep your visuals simple. I mean, if you’re showing a list of key features, for example, you should make it as brief as possible. Just use bullet points and simple phrases, even single words. Your audience won’t have much reading time. It’s a classic mistake with seminar presentations to present so much information that the audience can’t process it quickly enough, and they stop listening to what you’re saying. OK?
D: Yes. Right. OK.
T: And now let’s talk about...
