If listeners have questions during the presentation, we can say:
• If you have any questions, please feel free to stop me while I'm talking.

如果有任何問題可以隨時打斷我沒有關係。

希望聽眾把問題留在最後發問，我們可以說： Analysis and Explanations
If we hope the audience will save their questions for the end, we can say:
• I will be happy to answer them at the end. 在圓餅圖中，表達數據常用 segment/slice 來表示比例區塊，例如：
In a pie chart, a slice or a segment is commonly used to represent the proportions of the data.
