Before you go into your next presentation, take a look at the following tips (link to: lifehack.org).

The Visual Communication Guy shows us what a formal American business letter can look like. I find it very clear to understand.
I don’t use a colon after the greeting. I learnt to use a comma, but now sometimes just leave it out! I would never end a letter with ‘Sincerely’. I would use ‘Yours sincerely’. However, I very rarely write letters now. Most of my correspondence is via email. I presume yours is to.

Does your office need brightening up? If you’re looking for some lovely, and perhaps quite different, ideas, take a look at this article
here.
You’ll find a wing desk made from the wing of a DC3 plane, flexible partitions made of paper and felt, a saddle chair (I love it), beanbags, a bibiochaise (that stores the books you’re reading!), Stokke Garden (I think it needs to be tested to understand how it works), a meeting bed (!), a conference bike (!) and more.
Do you have a favourite?

Here’s another very well-known tongue twister and one that works quite well for my tongue. Does it work well for yours?
“Betty Botter bought some butter
But she said the butter’s bitter
If I put it in my batter, it will make my batter bitter
But a bit of better butter will make my batter better
So ‘twas better Betty Botter bought a bit of better butter”
(’twas’ is the short form for ‘it was’)
