We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us dont 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, its over. Im 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 Dont talk over their heads, and dont 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 dont have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! Youre not convinced yet? 5 A. It doesnt 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. Dont say what you arent familiar with.F. Never forget your audience.G. Give it a try and see what happens.2. We had been living our valley for sixteen months when we first realized the dangers that could exist. It was the year when the storms came early, before the calendar even hinted at winter, even before November was out. 1 Soon snow began to fall. Within a day it lay some 15 centimeters deep. It almost completely blocked our lane and made the streamside path slippery and dangerous. But on the neighboring heights the snow was much deeper and stayed for longer. Up there the wind blasted fiercely. Deeply in our valley we felt only sudden gusts of wind trees swayed but the branches held firm.And yet we knew that there was reason for us to worry. The snow and wind were certainly inconvenient but they did not really trouble us greatly. 2 It reminded us of what could have occurred if circumstances had been different, if the flow of water from the hills had not, many years before, been controlled, held back by a series of dams. 3 Day after day, we watched furious clouds pile up high over the hills to the west. Sinister grey clouds extended over the valleys. They twisted and turned, rising eastwards and upwards, warning of what was to come. We had seen enough of the sky; now we began to watch the river, which every day was becoming fuller and wilder.The river seemed maddened as the waters poured almost horizontally down to its lower stretches. 4 It was far deeper than wed ever seen it so near our home, lunging furiously at its banks. For three days we prayed that it would stay below its wall. 5 AIt was the river, the Ryburn, which normally flowed so gently, that threatened us most.BThe great power of all this water prevents us from believing ourselves to be completely safe in our home.CIn a short time the snow started to melt.DJust a couple of meters from our cottage, the stream seemed wild beneath the bridge.EOur prayer were answered as the dam held and the waters began to subside.FThey grew so strong that we couldnt control it.GUntil then, we had felt safe and sheltered in our valley.3. 1_This was not because the woods and fields were always far away, but because they were too far from the city to permit people to make a day trip between morning and nightfall.2_ He decided to turn his little school house into a dormitory for the summer holidays.
