Example: Direct speech: “I like ice cream”.

Reported speech: She says she likes ice cream. She said she liked ice cream.

Website

1. Powerpoint is capable of making a HTML file out of the presentation slides.

2.This HTML file can then be placed on the web as a website.

3.It will automatically play through the slides like the movie.

4. This makes the presentation accessible to anyone who has/to have an Internet browser and not just to those with the Powerpoint software.

5.However, you need to review your presentation on multiple browsers to make sure there are no glitches.

III. Dictate the following text to your group mate. Check it together.

Movie

Powerpoint is also capable of encoding the slides as a movie that automatically plays through the slides. This works like any other movie and is the least complicated for people to use. The movie can even be uploaded to YouTube or another movie site to share on the Internet. However, the movie file cannot be edited in Powerpoint; you have to change the original Powerpoint file and make a new movie if you want to make any changes.

IV. The most simple form of presentation is the PDF. Powerpoint can save the slides as individual pages and then compile the pages into a PDF file. Any computer with Adobe Acrobat Reader can then open the PDF file and display the presentation. The user has to scroll manually, as PDF does not allow automatic page-turning. Write an essay in which describe how well does it work.

V. Fill in the table.
