B2 · Open a presentation

Introduce the topic, structure and expected value of a presentation.

How the language works

State the purpose with maqsatym — … tüsındıru: ‘my aim is to explain…’. Show the structure with aldymen…, odan keiın…, soñynda… (‘first…, next…, finally…’). Limit the scope with tek … toqtalamyn — ‘I will focus only on…’. These linking expressions help the audience follow your ideas.
