Yes, I have decided to talk about Dickens.
Good. And then you should do your research on the topic.
Is there a deadline?
Yes. It's next Wednesday.
Well, you'd better prepare a detailed outline on your topic by then.
Have you done this?
No. Is it imperative to write an outline?
Yes, definitely.
It's essential to write an outline for any presentation.
It is the structure of your presentation
and I'm afraid no one can give a presentation from scratch.
You will base your presentation on the outline.
So I strongly recommend you write out an outline at first.
OK. I really appreciate your suggestion
and I'll work on the outline at once.
