"Alright, we are talking about the question and answer period of your presentation and I want to tell you a little bit about why to have this question and answer period or why its so important. Well that's the thing, is that it is important and it could possibly be the most important part of your presentation. So if you haven't decided to do one, you might want to think about it. Some of the things that can happen in a question and answer period or really positive things about them, it gives you another opportunity through the questions and answers, to emphasize your main idea and supporting points. If you're trying to get people on board with you about something, here you get another chance to get them going with you. It can also build enthusiasm. Its another opportunity, people asking questions and you're showing your enthusiasm trying to get them enthusiastic about whatever it is your presentation was about. Its also a great way if you realize at the end of your speech that maybe you forgot some material that you wanted to talk about, or you decided it would be very beneficial to your presentation to talk about something. This is a great time to work in more material. So the question and answer period is actually worth a lot more than just answering questions. So definitely consider one."
