Snapshot 7

The following week...


D: Hello.
Y: Oh, hello, D. Thanks a lot for offering to help me with this presentation speech.
D: No problem. How does it look?
Y: Well...
D: What's wrong?
Y: I started by writing down everything I want to say and when I read it out loud for the first time it took 27 minutes. The problem is I have to shorten it to about a 12 minute speech so I cut a lot of lines from it, but it is still 22 minutes and all of it looks important so I don't know what else to cut.
D: Oh, I see. Are your slides ready?
Y: No, not yet.
D: Then, why don't you sketch out the slides you think you want to use and then we can edit the speech and slides together.
