However, you can do something to make it success. First of all, you need to do something about your topic. For example, choose a topic about something you like, such as something that interests you or someone who is close to you. Once youve chosen your topic, try to find useful information about it online or from the library. As you do this, write down the information that supports your ideas in a valuable way. Rehearsing(排练) your speech is also important. For this, youd better write the script (讲稿) just like talking to your friends. Keep your script simple. Use interesting examples or stories to show your ideas. Once you finish your script, read it out loud to yourself and remember it. After that, write down 2 to 3 points that you may forget on a note card. Finally, you have to practice your speech in front of something or someone until you dont have to look at your note card. In the end, its time to give the speech. At this time, stand straight and hold your head high. This will show that youre confident. Show your listeners that youre excited by smiling before you begin and throughout the speech. Pause(停顿) after finishing a sentence, or after saying an important point. It will allow you time to collect your thoughts. If youre out of breath while speaking or if your words start running together, youre most probably speaking too fast. If this happens, take a breath and slow down. While talking, look at your listeners, like friends. Whats more, if you dont remember the next word or line, pause for one or two seconds to look at your note card. Before you begin speaking, take a deep breath, smile at your listeners, and then go on. 46 . to give a successful speech47 . for your speechChoose a topic you are 48 . in.Collect information on your topic from books or on the 49 . .Write down the useful information.Rehearse your speechWrite a script in a 50 . way.
