(10)Besides, we’ve got a quantity of materials related to our topic, including those splendid photos.(11)At the end of the presentation, we’ll leave time for the audience to ask questions. I’m sure they will be attracted by our presentation.

M: You’re so considerate.

W: I am still worried about the presentation.

M: How about we meet this afternoon to practice it again?
