Making a presentation/public speaking - any advice?

[nevertoobig]

For my Computer Science course in uni, I have to give a 5 minute presentation to a group of people pretending to be a representative from a tour company. The group of people are the supposed holiday makers and I have to tell them all about the place they are about to visit and make it interesting.

Basically I don't know where to start, and I'm not exactly a confident public speaker, infact I've never done anything like this before.

Some advice would be great.

where is the fake tour supposed to be taking place at?

mention something about GDP and total wheat output

STD statistics could be good too

propalanol(SP?)...highly recommended...

Well I was thinking of doing New Zealand, although I could choose anywhere.

And it's meant to be as interesting as possible so I'm not sure statistics are what the examiner is looking for. (I dont know though)

Anyone else???

Its weird, a few weeks ago, I posted on this thread asking why flex123 had to do a public speaking class. Havoc told me why, and now here I am having to do the same thing.

I can see myself getting nervous and really messing this thing up.

Yup. And Adderall- you'll be a talking mofo.

do a few lines of coke before you have to get up there. this always gives you an extra boost of confidence.

Adderall hits me better, but coke will work too. Just buy one of those "bullets" and take ya a couple of snorts about ten minutes beforehand.
