Public Speaking Training

Get a coach

          1.  , so get help. Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training that’s right for you.

Focus on positives

         Any training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren’t doing well.   2.   , so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn’t do.

  3. 

If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it’s going to give you lots of dos and don’ts, walk away! Your brain is so full of what you’re going to be talking about.  4.    . As far as we’re concerned, there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking. Your audience can be your friends.

You are a special person not a clone.

Most importantly, good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits.   5.    . Your training course should help you bring out your personality, not try to turn you into someone you’re not.

A.You aren’t like anybody else

B.You already do lots of things well

C.Turn your back on too many rules

D.Check the rules about dos and don’ts

E.Whatever the presentation, public speaking is tough

F.The one thing you don’t want is for them to fall asleep

G.So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worse

試題分析:文章講述了進(jìn)行公共演講的訓(xùn)練要點(diǎn)。 你可以找到一個(gè)教練幫助你進(jìn)行公眾演講訓(xùn)練也可以參加公眾演講訓(xùn)練課,并且指出應(yīng)該找到適合自己的培訓(xùn)機(jī)構(gòu)。

1.根據(jù)下一句ready to offer you public speaking training and courses可知,開(kāi)頭說(shuō)的是與public speaking 有關(guān)的問(wèn)題,故選E。 

2.本題位于段中,通過(guò)上下文得出選項(xiàng)。后一句so good public speaking training should develop those與空格形成因果關(guān)系,所以空格中應(yīng)表達(dá)“你已經(jīng)做得很好了”的含義,所以B選項(xiàng)是正確答案。 

3.本題位于段首,為整段的主旨大意。本段第一句中提到lots of dos and don’ts, walk away!可知,如果有的培訓(xùn)講太多的條條框框的話(huà),要對(duì)條條框框說(shuō)不,所以C選項(xiàng)是正確答案。

4.從前句Your brain is so full of what you're going to be talking about, 可知后一空與前一空形成因果關(guān)系,腦子里裝滿(mǎn)了條條框框只會(huì)使情況變得更糟。故選G。

5.小標(biāo)題為·You are a special person not a clone以及treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits可以得出答案You aren't like anybody else(與眾不同)。故答案選A。

考點(diǎn):信息匹配。

Students often want to practice their English outside class. One of the best ways to practice your English is to speak to a foreigner. You may ask, “Is it okay to try to talk to foreigners I see in the street?”
The answer is yes and no, but probably no! If you see a foreigner who looks lost, it is polite to ask him, “May I help you?” But, otherwise, you should probably let them get on with their business. Situations, however, do exist where it is quite all right to talk to foreigners. If a foreigner enters your school, classroom, office, shop or restaurant, for instance, feel free to ask him (for example):
— What is your name?
— Where do you come from?
— What do you think of Beijing?
— How long will you stay in Beijing?
There are also situations where it's okay to talk to foreigners in public places. If you see a foreigner alone in a restaurant, bar or coffee shop, it may be appropriate to ask him or her:
— Is this seat free?
— Do you mind if I talk to you in English?
You can probably help them if they are new in China and if they are alone, you may be able to make them feel more welcome.
After a few such questions, you should know whether this person wants to talk to you or not. If they ask you similar questions, or if they give long, informative answers, you're in luck. If not, then give them their privacy. Talking to strangers is fun if you choose the right time and place.
66. It is the best way to practice your spoken English with ______.
A. Japanese           B. Americans                C. our classmates           D. French people
67. From the second paragraph we can get to know that ______.
A. it is polite to stop a foreigner to talk with him in the street
B. it is polite to interrupt foreigners in a conversation
C. it is impolite to interrupt a foreigner when he or she is on business
D. it is impolite to help a foreigner find his way
68. When you first meet a foreigner, you should say “_______”
A. Where are you going?                           B. Have you ten your dinner?
C. Can you help me with my English?         D. Nice to meet you.
69. The writer suggests to us that we should ______.
A. follow the foreigners when we meet them in the street
B. talk with a foreigner in an accepted way
C. have a meal with foreigners in a restaurant
D. move to a place where a foreigner lives
70. This passage comes from a newspaper in column ________.

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:2011-2012學(xué)年浙江省溫州市龍灣中學(xué)高一第一次月考英語(yǔ)卷 題型:閱讀理解

You are enjoying the beautiful scenery in a quiet place, but suddenly the peace and quiet is interrupted(打斷)by the noisy sound of a cellphone(手機(jī))! Cellphones are everywhere, and some people don’t know what the limits of cellphone use are.
For me, it’s just a matter of education, good manners, and common sense. If I go to a beautiful place, it is because I want to enjoy nature. I can do it, but without bothering (打擾) other people.
Nowadays, that’s the biggest problem. People disturb other people, first with the ringing of their cellphones and then with their conversations because they usually speak very loudly. Not everybody in a public place should have to listen to private conversations (私人談話(huà)). Even more annoying, you hear just one part of the conversation.
People need to learn how to use cellphones correctly. If there is an emergency (緊急情況),cellphones are acceptable, but remember that just a few years ago few people had cellphones and the whole society survived!
But again, not everybody wants to listen to other people’s private conversations. It’s like smoking. People dont want to be bothered by smokers. Our society has to learn to respect other people.
Sometimes when you are talking to someone, that person interrupts the conversation because of a cellphone call, without saying “I’m sorry.” That is bad manners. They don’t know how to respect other people. It’s just common sense! But our society is sometimes so “common senseless!” So, we have to write some rules to prohibit(禁止)cellphone use in some places.
【小題1】What could be the best title for the passage?

A.Cellphone Manners Are a MustB.How to Use Cellphones
C.Don’t Disturb OthersD.The Popularity (流行) of Cellphones
【小題2】According to the author, what is the biggest problem nowadays?
A.People are disturbed by those who use cellphones.
B.People can’t hear the other part of the conversation.
C.Private conversations are carried out on cellphones.
D.Not everyone uses a cellphone in public places.
【小題3】By saying “People don’t want to be bothered by smokers” (Para. 5), the author  really means _____.
A.smoking also does harm to other people’s health
B.people don’t want to listen to others talk
C.people don’t want to be bothered by cellphone talkers
D.some people don’t want others to smoke
【小題4】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.If we interrupt the conversation with a cellphone call, we should say sorry.
B.Some of the cellphone users don’t have good manners.
C.Before using cellphones, we must know how to respect others.
D.People who use cellphones are not interested in beautiful scenery at all.

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:2013屆安徽省亳州市高三摸底聯(lián)考英語(yǔ)試卷(帶解析) 題型:填空題

There are two types of people in the world.Although they have equal degrees of health and wealth and the other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes miserable.This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, and events, and the resulting effects upon their minds.
The people who are to be happy fix their attention on the conveniences of things, the pleasant parts of conversation, the well-prepared dishes, the goodness of the wines, and the fine weather.
They enjoy all the cheerful things.Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the contrary things.Therefore, they are continually discontented (不滿(mǎn)意的) .By their remarks, they soar (提升) the pleasures of society, offend (冒犯 ) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere.If this turn of mind were founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied.
The tendency to criticize and be disgusted (厭惡) is perhaps taken up originally by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors.The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it are convinced of its bad effects on their interests and tastes.I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious consequences in life, since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck.Those people offend many others, nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect, and scarcely that.This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments.If they aim at obtaining some advantage in rank or fortune, nobody wishes them success.Nor will anyone speak a word to favor their hopes.If they bring on themselves public disapproval, no one will defend or excuse them.
These people should change this bad habit.If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them.
Title: Two Types of People
