At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understoo

29、d exactly as he has planned. Fortunately, such moments are usually not obvious to the listeners. Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plansto say. They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or f

Once you free you mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely. 56. What would be the best
