Are you nervous when you stand in front of the public? Are you afraid to make a speech?
Li Jun, a middle school boy, felt shy when he was making a speech the other day. Li had thought it would be quite easy to speak in front of   1  classmates.
"I was wrong. It was very different and much  2  than talking to my classmates during playtime," Li said. "I tried, but it was really difficult to speak. I felt like a mute (啞巴) and wanted to leave the classroom   3  "
Li is not alone. Many middle school students now have the same   4  : they can talk about their ideas freely   5  their best friends after class, but can't speak in public. According to Zhou Hong, a teacher from a university, the main reason is that schools in China pay more attention to writing instead of  6 .
Zhou hopes schools can give students more chances to open their   7 , such as speech competitions, English corners and class discussions. Students can join in any one they want to. 8  he also gives some advice to students. "During your free time you should  9  more. When you're speaking in public, take it easy. Just imagine you're talking to nobody and speak up your ideas clearly," Zhou said. "That   10  a fine public speech and you'll feel confident. "

It was the last day of the final examination(考試)in a college. On the steps of building, a group of engineering students were waiting for the last exam. On their faces was confidence(自信).
They knew the exam would be easy. The professor(教授) had said they could bring any books or notes during the test.
Right after they came into the classroom. The professor handed out the papers. There were only five questions on it.
Three hours passed. Then the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was nervous expression.

Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats. “One, then? Certainly somebody has finished one.” But the class kept silent(沉默). The professor said, “That is exactly what I expected(期盼). I just want to make you know clearly that even though you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the subject you don’t know. These questions you could not answer are common in everyday practice.” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all pass this course, your education has just begun.”

Before you go to another country it is a great help if you know the language（語音） and some of the customs（風(fēng)俗）of the country.
