I don’t think I can talk fluently because it’s difficult for me to remember all the words. When I come face to face with the audience, where should my eyes fall upon? Do I have to look front, or look around from time to time? When I am talking, I can’t help waving my hands, for I think it can help me express what I want to say better. But my classmates say I look funny and foolish by doing this . I know that it’s not right to speak fast. But I am afraid that I can’t finish my talk in the given time if I speak slowly. Should I talk in American English or British English?
A.Look at the audience (观众) . Looking at and talking to one person in the audience helps keep you natural, but it feels foolish talking to only one person. Speak to that person as long as 15 seconds and then change another one.
B.Don’t speak too fast! The audience have a hard time understanding what they hear. They need your help. Slow down, pause(停顿) and guide the audience through your talk. Remember that you should help the audience understand what you are saying.
C.Low your voice! Make your voice a little lower than normal. Listeners like to a relatively(相对) deep voice.
D.Talk but not recite(背诵) .
When you talk, try to be as natural as possible. Don’t try to memorize your words and read or recite them to your audience. You can use short notes to help you remember the important points. E. Use simple words. You should know you and most of the people you talk to are different in many ways . Some of them may not know what you are talking about. Then speak to them on their languages. F. Word works! Concentrate on what you want to say. If you are always paying attention to gestures(手势). G. English has no differences. It’s true that there are some differences between American English and British English, but they’ll not cause much difficulty for listeners, so just speak the way you’re used to.
