B 第 2 页 Robert and Peter study in the same university. They do everything

The school year was over last month and they decided to travel through

interested and started whenever they wanted. Of course they enjoyed

themselves. It was very hot one day and they were both hungry and thirsty.

a table and ordered some dishes. Robert looked around and found there

and took a spoonful of it and put it into his mouth. Immediately he knew it

was mustard〔芥末〕, but it was too late. Tears ran down his face, but he

pretended nothing had happened. The other young man, seeing his friend

crying, asked, "What are you crying about, Robert" "I'm thinking of my

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 an effective speech.

You have to give a speech, and you’re terrified. You get nervous, you

forget what you want to say, you stumble over words〔不顺畅地说〕, 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. 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 time doing your research.

Then spend plenty of 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 will help you make your points more 第 4 页 clearly. Never forget your audience. Don’t talk over their heads, and

don’t talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will

appreciate your thoughtfulness.

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 audience.

If you follow these simple steps, 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 convinced yet Give
