The Sherpas method to prepare your "Territory and Memory" sheet 📝


Introducing the Tweak Ton
The introduction is a decisive moment in your oral! It is with this introduction
to capture the attention of your audience. You must show from the outset that you
are going to treat the axis through an interesting and original perspective.

👉 Build a coherent concrete intro to immediately put the concealer in the right
mood.

👉 Above all, quickly define and analyze the terms of the axis and the subject!
This is an essential step in your oral.

We give you some tips for this from the definitions of the Cambridge dictionary
for these two terms:

The term "territory" generally designates an expanse of land delimited by borders


(physical or not) on which a human group lives and over which authority will be
exercised. Here's one way you can't define it in English: "(an area of) land, or
sometimes sea, which is considered to belong to or relate to a particular country
or person".
The notion of "memory" refers to the ability to retain and recall past elements
and information: the term memory is used to describe "the ability to remember
information, experiences and people" or “something that is remembered”. the
past".
In general, here is the approach we suggest you follow for an intro that hits the
mark: 😉
📌 Define the terms of the axis and your subject: it's essential. The
proofreader listens to dozens of candidates, so the more work you can do for him,
the better!
📌 State your problem: this is the guiding thread of your presentation, which
allows you to understand from which angle you are going to treat the axis and to
set the limits of your subject.
📌 Announce your plan: again, accompany the corrector to the fullest. A clear
plan is a key to top marks.

English territory and memory


A good intro is the 1st step of a successful oral presentation 💡
Here are some useful expressions to properly announce your problem and your plan:

Problem: “We will wonder to what extent…”, “We will wonder how…”
Outline: “This question will be addressed by analyzing…”, “In order to answer
this question, we will consider… Then/however/additionally, we will see/discuss…”
👉 As for announcing the plan, make sure to avoid the simple "and" and instead
articulate your parts with stronger logical connectors such as:

“however”, “however”, “while”, “on the contrary”… to underline an opposition


“then”, “in addition”, “in addition”, “in addition”… to underline an addition or
a gradation
"therefore", "consequently", "as a result", "this is why"... to induce a causal
relationship between the parties
