We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job. This article gives some suggestions on how to give a successful speech.

So, you have to give a speech and you’re frightened. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble(結(jié)巴)over words, you talk too long and your listeners feel tired of your speech. Later you think, “Thank goodness, it’s over. I’m just no good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”

Cheer up! It doesn’t have to be that bad. You can do the following things to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion(場(chǎng)合)? Why are you speaking? Then, collect as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of time doing your research. Then spend plenty of time putting your material in good order so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible and use pictures, charts and graphs if they help you make your points clearer. Never forget your listeners. Don’t talk over their heads and don’t talk down to them. Respect your listeners. They will enjoy your thoughtfulness.

Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your listeners and the occasion. Be brief. Say what you have to say and then stop. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your listeners.

If you follow the simple things, you’ll see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You’re not confident yet. Give it a try and see what happens.

【1】根據(jù)短文第四行...you talk too long and your listeners feel tired of your speech. 可知你的演講太多，會(huì)使你的聽(tīng)眾厭煩；make sb. bored使某人厭煩。故答案為bored 。

【2】根據(jù)表格中右邊一欄的內(nèi)容可知，左欄是演講的步驟或行動(dòng)；Step名詞，步驟；Actions名詞，行動(dòng)故答案為Steps/Actions。

【3】根據(jù)文章第三段，作者給出了做好演講的建議，如何組織演講稿；organize動(dòng)詞，意思是組織。故答案為organized。

【4】根據(jù)文章第三段最后一句Don’t talk over their heads and don’t talk down to them. Respect your listeners. 既不使用太困難的話(huà)也不看著你的聽(tīng)眾,但記住要尊重地對(duì)待他們;treat動(dòng)詞，對(duì)待。故答案為treat。

【5】根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段第一行Say what you have to say and then stop.可知做長(zhǎng)期旅行時(shí)，說(shuō)你必須說(shuō)的，然后停止；也就是說(shuō)不要涉及不重要和不需要的東西。故答案為unimportant/unnecessary。
