Pronunciation tips for presenters

The following page intends to give some useful tips and advice on improving pronunciation whilst giving a presentation.

Get physical

Do some 'warm-ups' to loosen up your mouth and your tongue before you speak. You can move and stretch your mouth, and repeat tricky words and sounds. Doing this will help you to overcome the physical 'stiffness' of the articulators and to speak fluently and clearly.

Get interested in your talk

Focus on your content. Make it sound interesting for your audience. If you speak with meaning and commitment along with healthy interest in the subject you tend to lose your nerves. Ensure you speak clearly so that your pronunciation can be understood.

Give your audience time to take in what you are saying

You can do this by pausing at the end of word groups and information chunks. Pausing is important for listeners because they need time to absorb information. Pausing also gives you, the presenter, time and 'space' to stress key words and use intonation signals.

However, too much pausing, or stopping at the end of each word or couple of words can make you sound hesitant and lacking in confidence. It also makes every word carry too much meaning. English speakers get meaning across by stressing key words in information chunks.

Give your audience a sense of direction

Don't lose your audience in a forest of words. A presentation is like a journey. Take your audience with you.

Signal new topics and sections of your presentation by:

• starting on a higher pitch level
• stressing the key words, such as signposting words and the topic word/s of your new section.

Let your audience know when information is finished or not by using:

Let your audience know what's important

Present key information clearly by stressing key words. In English, new information usually occurs towards the end of a speech chunk or sentence. Keep your voice and breath going so you can stress those crucial words at the end.

Get the basics right

Make sure that you can pronounce key vocabulary, data, names and acronyms clearly and accurately. To do this:

• check the stress in poly-syllabic (multi-syllabic) words - use a dictionary or ask a competent English speaker if you are not sure. Practice difficult vocabulary.
• identify and practise problem sounds, particularly in high frequency words and key words in your presentation.

Rehearse and reflect

Nothing beats practice. It is amazing what mistakes you will find in a presentation as soon as you start rehearsing.

Practise your presentation standing up and imagine yourself in the situation.

• Your opening. When you start your presentation, you're likely to feel nervous so it is helpful to know exactly what you are going to say to open your presentation, where you will pause, what words you will stress, and the intonation you will use.
• Topic sentences and signposting words introducing new topics or making a topic change. This will make your transitions smooth and easy to follow.
• Your conclusion and the body of your presentation, including how you will refer to any visual aids as you move through your presentation.

Video or record yourself if possible and use a checklist to evaluate how effective you are. Better still, get someone to listen to you and give you some feedback.

Australian English: Examples, Accent, Pronunciation, Words

Australian English is a bundle term for the varieties of English language spoken by the people of Australia. English is de facto national language of Australia as it is the only language spoken at home by 72% of the population. It is also the language of legislature and courts. The medium for compulsory education in Australia is also English.

Australian English is primarily based on British English but over the years it has developed its own unique style, sound, vocabulary, and slang. The linguists consider it as a mixture of standard British English and standard American English . In this write-up, we are discussing features of Australian English and how it is different from other forms of Standard English.

What is Australian English?

Australian English is the version of the English language spoken by the people of Australia. It is the first language of the majority of the Australian population.

English was introduced to Australia by the British – hence originally the language spoken in the country was based on British English.

In 1788, British ships brought British convicts to Australia and established the Colony of New South Wales. The convicts came from different regions and had different dialects. When all these people with different dialects started living together, a new and unique accent emerged. This unique accent developed over the years is now called Australian English.

An interesting fact about Australian English is that the accent is almost similar throughout Australia. The differences in the accent are very subtle and they are typically associated with the socioeconomic status of the speaker.

The Australian English spoken in Australia is generally seen as a hybrid variety of British English and American English. But, these aren’t the only languages to contribute to the richness of Australian English. It is influenced by Irish, Chinese, and various Aboriginal languages too.

What Makes Australian English Unique?

Till now we discussed Australian English is different from other varieties of English. Let us now see the characteristics that make it different from other varieties of English.

Use of diminutives or shortened versions

One of the distinguishing features of Australian English is that it uses shortened versions of standard English words much more than any other form of English. These shortened forms, also called diminutives, sometimes make Australian English so different that English speakers from other countries might struggle to even get the context of the conversation.  For example,

• Barbie for Barbeque
• Defo / Defs for Definitely
• Sunnies for Sunglasses
• Smoko for Cigarette or a Cigarette break
• Sanga for Sandwich
• Arvo for Afternoon
• Mozzie for Mosquito

Unique Spelling Conventions

Australian English uses unique spelling conventions that neither totally align with British English nor with the American English. For example,

• In words like ‘colour’ and ‘flavour’ Australian English uses British English spelling but for words like ‘defense’, it uses American English spelling.
• Words, like ‘realise’ and ‘organise’, are spelt in the British style whereas words like ‘yogurt’ are spelt in the American way.
• In some words like ‘media’, Australia has unique grammar rules. It uses ‘media’ as singular and ‘medias’ as plural.

Idioms and other figurative speeches

Australians do have some unique phrases and idioms that are not known to speakers of other varieties of English. For examples,

• Good on ya! – Expression used for well done or congratulations
• Fair dinkum – It means genuine, true, or honest
• Barrack for – support or cheer a team; somewhat similar to ‘root for’
• Chock-a-block – crowded
• Up a gum tree – stuck in a difficult or tricky situation
• Flat out like a lizard drinking – Very busy or working at a fast pace
• Go off like a frog in a sock – to go crazy

Unique Pronunciation

Australian English has some really interesting features that make it sound way different than any other varieties of English. For example,

• R at the end of a word is not pronounced. Car sounds like ‘cah’. Jar sounds like ‘jah’.
• G at the end of a word is not pronounced. Dancing is dancin and going is goin in Australian pronunciation.
• I in words like sit is pronounced as ‘ee’ making it sound ‘seet’ instead of sit.
• ‘th’ sound is replaced by ‘f’ or ‘v’. Think may sound ‘fink’ and both become ‘bof’.
• Australians typically use rising intonation at the end of the sentence making it sound like a question rather than a statement.

Bestiality references allegedly made during presentation at Renmark High School

Warning for readers: This article contains graphic language.

The South Australian Department for Education is investigating a presentation delivered to year 9 girls in a regional high school that allegedly referenced bestiality as being accepted by the LGBTQIA+ community.

Female students said teachers at Renmark High School told them to leave their lessons and attend a presentation in a separate classroom.

Students who attended the presentation on March 22 say two staff from the Headspace centre in the neighbouring town of Berri introduced a "third-party" presenter who facilitated an hour-long presentation focused on relationships.

Parents said they were not notified about the presentation, nor was it consented to.

Students said they were left unsupervised for the duration of the presentation.

Student Courtney White, 14, said she felt confused and blindsided by the presentation.

"We had a teacher that told us to grab a chair and sit in front of the board, and then the Headspace people came in and then [the teacher] left, so then we're sitting in front of a board alone with no teachers, just the Headspace people," she said.

"The first slide of the PowerPoint on the board was 'You can see queerly now' and 'No point hiding.'"

Girls felt 'really uncomfortable'

Fourteen-year-old Emelia Wundenberg said the presenter was graphic when referencing their own sexual preferences and spoke in sexually explicit terms about growing up and being confused about whether they idolised people of the same gender or wanted to be intimate with them.

Students say they were then given an explanation of the initialism LGBTQIA+, with each word and its meaning displayed on the screen.

"There was a slide for what the 'plus' means, and they just started randomly saying words that no-one knew, like bestiality," Emelia said.

"It was on the board when they were showing what the 'plus' meant."

The students said bestiality was then explained in detail and the presenter seemed to imply it was something practised by people who identified as LGBTQIA+.

"They said [the queer community] just accepts all of it, even though … isn't it illegal?" Emelia said.

As the talk went on multiple girls, including Courtney, began to feel uncomfortable and asked to leave the classroom to "go to the bathroom".

"We're all just sitting there like, 'What the hell? What are we doing here? Why are we learning about animals having sex with humans?'" she said.

"It was really disgusting, it was really uncomfortable."

Emelia said many of those who asked to leave the classroom did not return.

When the ABC sought comment from the presenter a response was sent on the person's behalf asking that reporters refrained from reaching out or naming them in its coverage.

'Normal procedure' not followed

Letters seen by the ABC that were sent to parents on behalf of Renmark High School principal Mat Evans stated that the presentation was meant to discuss "respectful relationships".

The letter acknowledged that the school's "normal procedure for notifying parents ahead of specific presentations was not followed".

Mr Evans said the third-party presenter had "been suspended from department schools while the department undertakes an investigation".

"We are undertaking an internal review to ensure that processes around such notifications and procedures with regard to third parties attending at our school are always met," he said.

The ABC contacted the Department for Education, which provided a similar statement and said the presentation was being investigated.

SA education department chief executive Martin Westwell said the presentation was "unacceptable" and "shouldn't have happened".

Speaking with ABC Radio Adelaide on Thursday, Professor Westwell said conversations about sexual health, societal norms, stereotypes and sexuality were normal parts of the Australian curriculum, but the presentation at Renmark High School was not.

"The core idea that students should understand sexuality and other sexualities is, I think, really important — but the way [the presenter] went about it was unacceptable," he said.

"The school has clearly made some mistakes.

"There should have been a teacher in the room when that occurred, but there wasn't and the principal has apologised for that.

"They hadn't reviewed the content.

"There was a few things that went wrong and it ended up with this inappropriate language and a few things being discussed in that session that were just not appropriate."

Support being provided to students

Headspace's national head of clinical leadership Nicola Palfrey said the organisation was aware of concerns raised by members of the Renmark community.

"We take all feedback very seriously and are reviewing how we can support and guide Headspace centres … to ensure presentations they facilitate or deliver are aligned with evidence and best practice and are safe and appropriate for young people," she said.

FocusOne Health Board chair Ian Gartley said the "focus at Headspace Berri, operated under licence by FocusOne Health, is on the mental health and wellbeing of young people".

"We are aware of concerns raised by local members of the Renmark community following a presentation delivered by a lived experience speaker that Headspace Berri facilitated at Renmark High School," he said.

"Our priority right now is ensuring that any young people and their families who may be experiencing distress receive the support they need."

All parties involved in the alleged incident declined to provide the presentation to the ABC.

Following the presentation, a follow-up letter seen by the ABC was sent to parents offering counselling services from the education department, which had arranged a social worker to attend the school to help support affected students.

Parents express shock and outrage

Parents of students who attended the presentation said it was a poor representation of the queer community and had raised many concerns about the school's protocols for third-party presentations.

"Who vetted this material? Who made sure it was safe for 14- and 15-year-old girls? Some of them are still 13," Emelia's mother Kristy Fyfe said.

"It has done a huge disservice to the [queer] community."

Following the presentation, Courtney's mother Nicki Gaylard removed her three children from Renmark High School. 

"My kids are in limbo," she said.

"They're not in an education department at this point.

"I'm not putting them anywhere until I know this won't happen again.

"Under no circumstances should a child in that school ever feel trapped and unsafe without someone with their certificate, meaning a teacher."

The ABC has spoken to five other parents whose children attended the presentation.

They substantiated the two girls' claims.

LGBTQIA+ educators condemn 'slur'

Sexuality educators and LGBTQIA+ inclusion advocates Mel Brush and Eleonora Bertsa-Fuchs conduct consent and queer inclusion training for schools, parents and workplaces via their social enterprise Let's Talk About X.

Both are secondary teachers and Mx Bertsa-Fuchs said queer education was important but should be delivered in a safe and appropriate setting.

"The teachers are the people that these young people have a relationship with, that they are familiar with, that they're comfortable with," Mx Bertsa-Fuchs said.

"When you're in a vulnerable situation, like a respectful relationships workshop or seminar, there should be someone in the room that you are familiar with."

Mx Brush said the alleged use of the word bestiality in the presentation was damaging to the queer community.

"It's pretty shocking to think about that term being thrown around like that, especially given how loaded it is, and for a historical context of the way that it's been used as a slur and to discriminate against LGBT+ people," Mx Brush said.

Case report article, malignant peritoneal mesothelioma presenting with bilateral hydronephrosis and renal insufficiency: a case report and literature review.

• 1 Department of Urology, Guiqian International General Hospital, Guiyang, China
• 2 Department of Pathology, Guiqian International General Hospital, Guiyang, China

Introduction: Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPM) is an extremely rare tumor with nonspecific clinical manifestations, making diagnosis challenging.

Case presentation: Herein, we report a case of MPM with occult onset presenting with bilateral hydronephrosis and renal insufficiency. A 30-year-old man was admitted to the Urology Department because of recurrent bilateral lower back pain. The etiology was unclear after a series of laboratory tests, imaging examinations, bone marrow aspiration, renal puncture biopsy, ascites examination, ureteroscopy, and so on. Finally, MPM was diagnosed by laparoscopic exploration and biopsy. Moreover, during the course of the disease, the patient's bilateral ureters were compressed, and the obstruction could not be relieved after the placement of ordinary ureteral stents. Percutaneous nephrostomy or metal ureteral stenosis was appropriate in managing malignant ureteral obstruction as it could improve renal function.

Conclusions: The onset of this case was insidious, and the diagnosis was difficult, with a poor prognosis. To date, only a handful of cases have been reported. We hope this case can provide some enlightenment for our clinical work.

Introduction

Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive neoplasm that can rapidly spread within the abdominal area. Patients with peritoneal mesothelioma usually present with an abdominal mass, ascites, and abdominal pain. Herein, we report a case with bilateral hydronephrosis and renal insufficiency as the first symptoms. The case was extremely challenging to diagnose, which was finally confirmed based on laparoscopic exploration and biopsy. This study aimed to provide clinical evidence for the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of rare MPM.

Case presentation

A 30-year-old man was admitted to the Urology Department because of repeated bilateral lower back pain for 3 months. At the onset of the illness, computed tomography (CT) scans revealed bilateral hydronephrosis, and the serum creatinine (SCr) level was 123 μmol/L. Symptoms improved after the placement of bilateral ureteral stents. However, the back pain recurred 1 month later, accompanied by abdominal distension, nausea, and vomiting. Enhanced CT scans revealed bilateral hydronephrosis, splenomegaly, and ascites. Hydronephrosis had aggravated, with SCr levels increasing to 305 µmol/L. A transurethral cystoscopy revealed no lower urinary tract obstruction. Ureteroscopy indicated narrowing of the lower part of the bilateral ureter, approximately 6 cm from the ureteral opening. During hospitalization, the patient's condition continued to deteriorate, with a progressive decrease in urine volume. The highest SCr level was 470 μmol/L. A plain CT scan revealed bilateral hydronephrosis, splenomegaly, abdominal effusion, peritoneal thickening with exudative changes, and intestinal wall thickening, with no significant mass observed. We performed a bilateral percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) and abdominal catheterization. Ascites analysis revealed no definite malignant cells. Serum IgG4 level testing yielded negative results. A renal needle biopsy indicated moderate to severe chronic tubulointerstitial injury. Finally, laparoscopic exploration was performed, and intraoperative findings revealed numerous small, shiny, whitish nodules carpeting all visualized peritoneal surfaces and some parts of the intestinal tubes. The tumor infiltrated the entire omentum, forming a large, firm mass ( Figure 1 ). A biopsy of the omentum itself confirmed the diagnosis of peritoneal mesothelioma. Histological findings revealed fibrous tissue hyperplasia with inflammatory cell infiltration and papillary hyperplasia of the overlying mesothelium. The immunohistochemical (IHC) markers were as follows: calretinin (+), CK (+), desmin (-), HMB45 (-), Ki-67 (10%+), CD34 (-), MC (HBME-1) (+), melan-A (-), and B-catenin (+) ( Figure 2 ).

Unfortunately, the patient refused to undergo therapy and chose to be discharged for recuperation. During the follow-up, he died at home 1 month after discharge.

Discussion and conclusions

Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma is an aggressive neoplasm of the serosal membranes, first reported by Miller and Wynn in 1908 ( 1 ). It accounts for approximately 25% of malignant mesotheliomas. Asbestos exposure is a well-recognized high-risk pathogenic factor for MPM ( 2 ). The patient was a deaf–mute construction worker with no clear history of asbestos exposure. Patients with peritoneal mesothelioma usually present with abdominal pain, distention, ascites, and an abdominal mass. Hydronephrosis rarely occurs as the first symptom. We searched PubMed for articles addressing peritoneal mesothelioma and hydronephrosis and found five relevant articles, screened by title and abstract. Two articles were finally included in the review. Detailed case data of four patients were obtained ( Table 1 ).

Table 1 . Characteristics of four cases of peritoneal mesothelioma presenting with hydronephrosis, as screened from PubMed and our patient.

Among these cases, the majority had a survival period of only a few months after the first diagnosis. Four out of five presented with combined bilateral hydronephrosis. Ureteral stenting was initially used in the majority of patients to drain hydronephrosis. Renal function improvement was observed in two patients. Therefore, the drainage mode should be considered when dealing with ureteral obstruction. There is no consensus on the optimal method for malignant ureteral obstruction (MUO). Some studies ( 5 ) showed that the postoperative stent failure rate of extrinsic malignant ureteral obstruction was 42%–45%. However, there was no difference in median survival compared with PCN. Metallic stents and some new material stents provide more options. The type and level of obstruction, renal insufficiency, degree of hydroneurosis, and length of obstruction >3 cm have been identified as predictors of stent failure in MUO patients. Accordingly, all these aspects should be taken into consideration. Clinician preference and patient comfort are also important factors.

Diagnosing MPM is extremely challenging, as it is characterized by irregular or nodular peritoneal or mesenteric thickening, omental mass, and ascites in imaging evaluations. The accuracy of ascitic cytology is only 50% ( 6 ). Laparoscopy is superior to CT in the evaluation of localized peritoneal metastases. The gold standard for MPM diagnosis is pathological examination. Morphologically, there are mainly three subtypes of MPM: epithelioid, sarcomatoid, and biphasic. Epithelioid MPM is the most common and least aggressive subtype, accounting for approximately 60% of cases. Our patient belongs to the epithelioid type, as evidenced by the histological findings showing papillary hyperplasia of the overlying mesothelium. However, the diffused growth pattern of the tumor and the limited tissue obtained by laparoscopic biopsy present challenges for pathological examination. In combination with the prognosis of the patient, it can be mixed with a few sarcomatoid types. IHC staining is the most valuable and feasible method for the differential diagnosis of MPM ( 7 ). The recognized positive markers are calretinin, CK 5/6, WT-1, HBME-1, thrombomodulin, podoplanin, mesothelin, and D2-40, while the negative markers are TTF1, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), Ber Ep4, B72.3, MOC31, and CD15. It is recommended to use at least two positive and two negative markers for differential diagnosis ( 8 ).

In 2011, Yan et al. ( 9 ) proposed a TNM staging system based on the extent of peritoneal disease burden (T), intra-abdominal nodal metastasis (N), and extra-abdominal metastasis (M) to standardize and guide the clinical treatment and prognostic evaluation of MPM. The T stage is determined by calculating the peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI). This assessment combines lesion size (0–3) with tumor distribution (abdominopelvic and mesenteric regions 0–13) to quantify the extent of disease as a numerical score (PCI-0 to 39). The 5-year survival rates of stage I, II, and III patients were reported to be 87%, 53%, and 29%, respectively. The patient’s PCI was >30, categorizing MPM as stage III (T4). This staging was an independent prognostic factor for malignant peritoneal mesothelioma.

Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is the initial preferred treatment for MPM. An analysis by the US HIPEC Collaborative, including 130 patients with MPM (all histologic subtypes included) who underwent CRS-HIPEC, reported a 5-year OS of 67.8% and a conditional OS of 89.7%. The strongest predictor of long-term survival is complete cytoreduction ( 10 ). Our patient presented with diffuse MPM, with extensive peritoneal, small bowel serosal, or mesentery involvement, which is not amenable to complete cytoreduction. The proposed treatment plan is intravenous chemotherapy and HIPEC, and immunosuppressive therapy can be added if physical conditions allow. The current preferred intraperitoneal chemotherapy is cisplatin alone or in combination with cisplatin/doxorubicin, the most commonly used combination therapy. Systemic therapy is an alternative treatment for inoperable patients. The International Expanded Access Program assessed pemetrexed regimens for 109 patients with MPM. Patients received pemetrexed, pemetrexed plus cisplatin, or pemetrexed plus carboplatin as either first-line or second-line therapy. For patients who received pemetrexed plus cisplatin, the 1-year survival rate was 57.4%. For patients who received pemetrexed alone, the median survival rate was 10.3 months, and the 1-year survival rate was 41.5%. Survival rates are not available for pemetrexed plus carboplatin ( 11 ). In recent years, molecular therapy and immunotherapy have attracted increasing attention. BAP1, TP53, NF2, and ALK, which are commonly mutated genes in MPM ( 12 ), are expected to become potential therapeutic targets. A phase II study evaluated the activity of pembrolizumab in 64 mesothelioma patients who had been treated with one or two chemotherapy regimens. Among these patients, only eight (12.5%) had MPM, and they exhibited lower overall response rates than patients with pleural mesothelioma in the study. Whether PDL1 expression is predictive of benefit remains unknown. In another cohort study evaluating the clinical efficacy of immunotherapy in patients with advanced MPM, the overall response rate was 19%, with a reported median progression-free survival (PFS) of 5.5 months ( 13 ) . Immunotherapy is an exciting future direction for MPM, and we look forward to the results of more clinical trials.

Peritoneal mesothelioma with bilateral hydronephrosis as the first symptom is rare and the diagnosis can be confirmed by laparoscopic exploration biopsy when necessary. Because of severe ureteral compression, PCN, or metal stents with high tension, offer more advantages than ordinary stents in improving renal function.
