Prepare a discussion with a question, a tentative interpretation, and two text references. Listening matters as much as speaking.
Speaking, Presenting & Responding
Plan a presentation around purpose, audience, a clear claim or explanation, and a small set of well-chosen evidence. Spoken structure needs signposts listeners can follow.

Problem 2
Answer and explanation
Open with the access question, report the limited survey, explain the funded trial and supervision plan, and finish with how attendance will be evaluated. A simple cost table serves this audience better than unrelated pictures.
