What are some common mistakes people make in introductions and conclusions?

Some common mistakes include being too vague, not engaging the audience, and failing to summarize key points.

Can you give examples of vague introductions?

Sure! An example would be starting with 'Today, I will talk about something interesting' without specifying the topic.

What about conclusions? What should I avoid?

In conclusions, avoid introducing new information or leaving the audience with unanswered questions.

You can start with a surprising fact, a question, or a relevant story to capture your audience's attention.
