only

Slide Structure - Bad
This page contains too many words for a presentation slide. It is not written in point form, making it difficult both for your audience to read and for you to present each point. Your audience will spend too much time trying to read this paragraph instead of listening to you.

saying– Will prevent audience from reading ahead– Will help you keep your presentation focused

Fonts - Good

secondary points– this font is 24-point, the main point font is 28-point,
and the title font is 36-point
Use a standard font like Times New Roman or Arial

CAPITALIZE ONLY WHEN NECESSARY. IT IS DIFFICULT TO READ

unnecessary Trying to be creative can also be bad
