Advice on Public Speaking 

    Building confidence(信心)

    Faith in yourself, your topic and your healthy mind is a must if you are to be a better public speaker. Many speakers are not prepared and lose confidence because of that. But others lack confidence because they are afraid of being judged-and possibly made fun of-just like they were in high school speech class. Build your confidence by using all your tools and knowing that you are excellent. 

    Knowing what’s up 

    You have to know your topic inside and out. Nothing kills your speech like“um”and“uh”in every sentence. Research your subject to the point where you are an expert. And that’s half the battle. 

    Practicing 

    Researching and knowing your topic is one thing, but actually delivering that information is another. Practicing your speech in advance is a must. You 

will find your beats and your direction,through hours in front of the mirror practicing. So when you climb up on stage, it will be like riding a bike, unless you don’t know how to ride a bike. 

    Dressing properly 

    You will want to dress properly for the occasion(场合)—which could be a suit or simply a jacket. Make sure it also has the comfort you need. If the clothes are not comfortable, you may not pay full attention to your speech. 

    Making connections 

    Make a personal connection with someone in the audience(听众).It might be someone you know that you can call out to, or someone in the front row you can speak directly to. Maybe your speech leads you to ask them a question, which is an easy way for you to take yourself from the stage and place yourself as one of your audience. It also takes the pressure off. 

47. What does “that’s half the battle”mean in the text? 

A. You have already won the battle. 

B. You are getting on the way to final success.  

C. You need experts to guide you in public speaking. 

D. You should write sentences without “um”and “uh”.

A. Looking at someone in the distance 

B. Calling out to someone you don’t know. 

C. Asking someone in the audience a question. 

D. Shaking hands with someone in the front row.
