What is a "presentation"?

A presentation is a formal display of information or ideas to an audience, typically involving spoken words, visuals, or multimedia.

Presentations can take place in various settings, such as classrooms, meetings, or conferences, and may include slides, charts, or demonstrations to support the spoken content.

Idiom
Informal

used to convey a desire for something that one currently cannot do or have

What is the origin of the idiom "I wish" and when to use it?

The idiom "I wish!" is thought to have originated from the expression of desires and dreams. It is commonly used to express a longing or a wish for something that is currently unattainable or unlikely. This phrase is used when someone wants to emphasize their inability or lack of a certain skill, talent, or opportunity in a somewhat playful or self-deprecating manner.
