What makes a good presentation
Anna: Do you enjoy watching videos about ancient historical sites
John: Yes, I do. Some guides give really wonderful short talks about old buildings.
Anna: I wonder what parts a good speech should have.
John: Well, I think it needs a clear beginning, main facts and a proper ending.
Anna: Oh, right. Then what can make the speech more attractive
John: Maybe we can add some interesting special details about the relic.
Anna: And why do we need such a well organized speech
John: If our speech is clear, listeners can easily follow and understand
our ideas.

Hello, everyone! I’d like to present to you a historical site from the Mayan civilization. Maybe you’ve heard about the Egyptian pyramids, but the Mayan people also built hundreds of pyramids throughout Central America from about 1,000 BCE to 1,500 CE. Here you can see the most famous example—the Pyramid of Kukulkan.

For the Mayans, Kukulkan was a snake god. Twice a year, when the day and night are in balance, the setting sun creates a strange shadow on one side of the pyramid. This shadow looks like the shape of a snake crawling down the steps. Interestingly, the building has a total of 365 steps. The Mayans could have built this to show the number of days in the solar year.

There’s also another interesting fact about the pyramid. Inside there are two more pyramids. The Mayans must have built each pyramid on top of the other over a long period of time. Isn’t that amazing
So, from the Pyramid of Kukulkan, we can learn a lot about the ancient Mayan civilization.
That’s all! Thank you!
