1 Thank you so much for: This is correct. "Thank you so much for (the present you gave me)" is a very polite construction that expresses sincere gratitude. In the audio, Philip says "Thank you so much for that warm introduction Professor Williams". Philip then goes on to call him a loser, which is less polite!
1 As you can see: "As you can see that warm introduction" doesn't make sense!
1 Moving on: Sorry, this sentence doesn't make grammatical sense.
1 Let's turn to: "Let's turn to" is usually used to introduce a new section of a presentation. Even though this sentence works grammatically, it would be strange to introduce "that warm introduction"! Even more strange because the "that" implies that is a "warm introduction" that people are already familiar with.
2 As you can see: This is correct. The phrase "as you can see" is a good way of introducing visual information. Example: AS YOU CAN SEE (from the graph), this month's sales are very disappointing. During the presentation, Philip says, "As you can see, the first part of my talk is called: 'Doris and Bernie's vacation photos, Greece 2004". Here, Philip is referencing visual information (the title of the presentation) that the audience can see.
2 Thank you so much for: "Thank you so much for," (followed by a comma) doesn't make sense. We need something else here to complete the clause. Example: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR firing me just before Christmas'.
2 Moving on: "Moving on" almost works here, but it would sound much more natural if the demonstrative "this" was used in order to bring attention to the visual information. Example: Moving on, THIS (not THE) chart shows this year's financial performance. Note: in the audio, Philip says "Moving on, THIS graph clearly shows a photograph of my secretary Doris in a Bikini".
2 Let's turn to: "Let's turn to," (followed by a comma) doesn't make sense. We need something else here to complete the clause. Example: Let's turn to the next part of the presentation.
3 Moving on: "To move on" means "to continue". This term is often used to introduce a new section of a presentation. Example: MOVING ON, let's take a few minutes to discuss our new recruitment policy. In the dialogue, Philip says "Moving on, this graph clearly shows a photograph of my secretary Doris in a Bikini". This is Philip's attempt to change the subject and "move on" to something less embarrassing. Note: we can also say, "Let's MOVE on to (the next section)" or "Moving on to (the next section, let's talk about salaries)".
3 As you can see: "As you can see" needs to be followed by a clause the makes reference to something that can be seen or is evident. Example: AS YOU CAN SEE, this is just a model, but the real time machine will be a lot bigger.
3 Thank you so much for: "Thank you so much for," (followed by a comma) doesn't make sense. We need something else here to complete the clause. Example: Thank you so much for firing me just before Christmas'.
3 Let's turn to: "Let's turn to," (followed by a comma) doesn't make sense. We need something else here to complete the clause. Example: LET'S TURN TO the interesting bit - this year's Christmas bonus.
4 Let's turn to: This is correct. "Let's turn to" is used to introduce a new section of a presentation. Example: LET'S TURN TO the subject of rodents: how many rats do we have in the office, and can we eat them? In the audio, Philip says, "Let's turn to my sexy PowerPoint presentation!".
4 As you can see: "As you can see" doesn't make grammatical sense here. In order for this to work we need to transform the sentence to make it clear that we are referencing visual information: As you can see, the final part of my presentation IS CALLED Picasso's blue period.
4 Moving on: "Moving on" is used to introduce a new section of a presentation. However, this sentence doesn't make sense grammatically unless we add a "to": Moving on TO the final part of my presentation, (I would now like to talk about: football).
4 Thank you so much for: This makes grammatical sense, but it would be strange for a speaker to thank the audience for the final part of his presentation!
