Speaking in public is most people's least favorite thing.The reason is that we are all afraid of making fools of ourselves.The more important the speech is, the more frightened we become.In fact, public speaking is not a "gift" like musical talent (天賦) .Anybody who can talk can speak in public.Here are some of the lessons I have learned:
Try to make your idea clear and brief.If you can't express what you intend to get across in a sentence or two, and then your speech is not focused well enough.If you don't have a clear idea of what you want to say, your audience will make no sense.After all, what you can impress your audience in your speech is one or two of your main ideas.One or two.Not ten or twenty.
No matter how long or short your speech is, you've got to organize it well-how you are going to open, what major points you want to make and how you're going to close.A strong close is critical: the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember.When I do a radio or TV piece, I often write the last sentence first.When you know where you're headed, you can choose any route to get there.
Finally, you'd better limit the time of your speech as properly as you can to hold the audience's curiosity.Take a vaudeville act (雜耍) for example.The standard length of one is usually 12 minutes.Just imagine how you are feeling if you have been watching all the performers singing and dancing their hearts out for more than the standard time!

77.從第二段If you can't express what you intend to get across in a sentence or two, and then your speech is not focused well enough.可以看出,應該使演講有焦點,并圍繞焦點展開。
78. 從第二段If you don't have a clear idea of what you want to say, your audience will make no sense.可以看出來,如果觀點不明確,聽眾會不知所云。
79.第三段第一句話開篇點題, No matter how long or short your speech is, you've got to organize it well,強調了謀篇布局的重要性。
80.第三段第一句話后面的how you are going to open, what major points you want to make and how you're going to close表明我們選擇寫作的路線圖,亦即演講的結構。
81.文章的構造包括開頭和結尾。
82.從最后一段you'd better limit the time of your speech可以看出演講的時間應該受到控制。
83.第一句話后部分強調演講不要太長,要抓住聽眾的好奇心。
84.答案可以從第一句找到線索。
85.演講太長,聽眾很顯然會厭煩呢。

根據短文內容,從題后A—G選項中選出能填入原文相應位置的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
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. 1.
So, you have to give a speech and you are terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank Goodness, it’s over. I’m just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”
Cheer up! 2. Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research. Then spend plenty of your time organizing your material 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 more clearly. 3. Don’t talk over their heads, and don’t talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. 4. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.
If you follow these simple steps, you will 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 convinced yet? 5.
A. It doesn’t to be that bad.
B. Take several deep breaths before your speech.
C. This article gives some advice on how to give good speech.
D. Say what you have to say and then stop.
E. Don’t say what you aren’t familiar with.
F. Never forget your audience.
G. Give it a try and see what happens.
