so i have join the toastmaster club for a few months and i find that it is very very interesting.It definately have improve my self confidence my ability to talk infront of the public and etc. I think that this is very important because we will need to speak infront of the public no matter where we are. be it when we are having friendly conversation, presentation in collages (university), presenting to your boss. I realise that tru my this toastmaster i have a better communication skill with my parents(asking for increase in allowence) and also in my day to day conversation with my friends.
here are few pointers that i would like to share with you guys for your presentation. i hope that it will help you.
1) stand still and try not to move around while making the points.
This is important because if you figet around people will get very impatient with your presentation. it is ok to move around but not too much.
2) if you are having a presentation slide make sure that it has not too much words. It is already better to write your speech on a paper then on the slide. because people will not have enough time to read everything on the slide while listening to you talking. if they can read everything on the slide why would they need you to tell them about those thing that they can read? (people will find it boring and frustrating if you flip the slide before they finish reading)
3) Next the most important in all presentation. prepare your speech(everyone knows it) MEMORISE at least the 1st paragraph of the speech. at least this will help you over come your nervousness at the begining of the speech and when everything is on track you will be able to gain confident.

with this 3 pointers i think is enough for you to make a great presentation. heheheeh good luck ba.
