问题                         How to Give a Good Speech
    So, you have to give a speech—and you’ re afraid. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. 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. 【T1】______First of all, it is important to plan. Do your homework. Find out everything you can about your subject. And, at the same time, find out as much as you can about your audience. Who are they? What do they know about your subject? Do they have a common interest? Why are they coming to hear you speak? Put yourself in their shoes as you prepare your speech.
    【T2】______What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Are you introducing another speaker? Giving a lecture? Convincing someone? There are many possible speaking roles, and they are all different from each other. Make sure you know into which category you fit. Don’ t spoil your speech by confusing one speaking role with another.
    Let us suppose that you have been asked to introduce the main speaker at a meeting. First, find out the most important and interesting things about the speaker. Then, summarize this information in a few words. 【T3】______And most importantly, be brief. Remember, you are not the main speaker; you are introducing the main speaker.
    If you are giving a lecture or explaining an idea, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of time doing your research. 【T4】______Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures or charts if they will help you make your points more clearly. 【T5】______Don ’ t talk over their heads, and don’ t talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.
