FINAL TICKET

One final collective and individual goal

⏱ 4 min
🎟️

FINAL TICKET — FOR OUR GROUP

Before the final pitch, I need to...
practise my pronunciation • look at the audience more • speak louder • use fewer notes • learn my keywords
📚

HOMEWORK — FINAL PREPARATION

  1. Practise your part aloud.
  2. Use KEYWORDS only.
  3. Check your pronunciation.
  4. Practise your transitions with your team if possible.
  5. Be ready to speak WITHOUT reading.
You don’t need to learn every sentence by heart.
You need to know what you want to SAY.
