In meaning it is the same as to tell the secret. And there is an old interesting story about it. Long ago, when farmers wanted to sell chickens at the market, they would usually throw the chickens in cloth bags. But cats were cheaper than chickens at that time, so many farmers would put cats into the cloth bags but not chickens.One day, a woman asked a man for a chicken. The man gave her a cloth bag in which there was a cat. The woman begged to see the chicken. When the man opened the cloth bag, a big black cat ran out. Not a chicken!

The reason is that we are all afraid of making mistakes in front of others. The more important the speech is, the more frightened we will be. But forget it now. Public speaking is easy. Its just a simple talking, Although Im a shy man, Ive been making speeches and talking on radio and television for more than 30 years. Anybody who can talk can speak in public. Here are some of the lessons I have learned:Keep your speech simple. Your audience cant take all of your main ideas, and they can only remember one or two of them, not ten or twenty. So you should prepare one or two of your main ideas very well. But if you cant express what you want to say, then your speech will not be paid attention to. And if you dont have a clear idea of what you want to say, your audience wont, either.Organize your speech well. No matter how long or short your speech is, you have to organize your speechhow you are going to open or begin, what main points you want to make and how youre going to close or end. A strong close is usually very important and critical(关键的): the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember. If not, they will be confused.Keep your speech not long. The standard (标准的) length of a speech is usually 12 minutes. Most people cant put their minds in one thing for too long time, which will make them tired and lose their interest. If you pay no attention to your audiences reaction(反应)，the audience will get bored. Of course, your speech will fail.Following these suggestions above, you can make a good speech in public, and you will be an excellent speaker, I think.Title: How to make a _speechTechniqueReasonsRequirementsKeep it simpleYou should think about your idea well enough_one or two of your main ideas well.If you have a _idea of what you want to say, your audience will have, too.Organize it well.You should get your speech well _Know very well about the_,main points and ending of the speechIf you dont, the _will be confused.Keep it _Your speech should be short enough to attract your audiences attention and _.Make your speech as short as_.If you dont, the audience will feel _.43. （10分）根据短文内容，用正确的信息填空，完成表格，每空一词。Its Sunday morning.
