Learning how to write is like taking a course in public speaking. I’d ask whether anyone in class had ever taken such a course. Generally a few hands would go up.
"What did you learn in that course?" I’d ask.
"Well, the main thing was learning how to face an audience... not to be inhibited (拘谨)... not to be nervous..."
Exactly, when you take a course in public speaking nowadays, you don’t hear much about grammar and vocabulary. Instead, you’re taught how not to be afraid or embarrassed, how to speak without a prepared script, how to reach out to the live audience before you. Public speaking is a matter of overcoming your longstanding nervous inhibitions.
The same is true of writing. The point of the whole thing is to overcome your nervous emotion, to break through the invisible barrier that separates you from the person who’ll read what you wrote. You must learn to sit in front of your typewriter or dictating machine and reach out to the person at the other end of the line.
Of course, in public speaking, with the audience right in front of you, the problem is easier. You can look at them and talk to them directly. In writing, you’re alone. It needs an effort of your experience or imagination to take hold of that other person and talk to him or her. But that effort is necessary or at least it’s necessary until you’ve reached the point when you quite naturally and unconsciously "talk on paper".
This selection is mainly about______.
选项
A、the efforts involved in writing
B、the similarities between writing and public speaking
C、learning how to make a public speech
D、learning how to talk on paper
答案
D
解析
主旨大意题。文章的开头句就是全文的主题句,作者在前四段说明如何演讲,从第5段开始,作者转向说明如何写作,文章的结尾句对开头句做出了呼应。作者之所以将演讲和写作过程做比较是为了让自己的观点更容易、更生动地被读者明白和接受,因此本文的中心内容是围绕写作,而不是演讲。其余选项虽然文中都有提及,但只是各个具体的侧面内容,不能概括全文大意。
