We are often asked to make a speech in life. Most of us are afraid of it and don’t do a good job. Here are some simple steps to make your speech a successful one. First of all, find out everything you can about your subject and at the same time find out as much as you can about your audience. Who are they? What do they know about your subject? Put yourself in their shoes as you prepare your speech. Then try to arrange your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible. Never forget your audience. Don’t talk over their heads or talk down to them. When you are giving your speech, speak slowly and clearly, look at your audience and pause for a few seconds from time to time to give your audience chances to think over what you’ve said. Just remember: be prepared, know your subject and your audience, say what you have to say and be yourself so that your ideas will bring you and your audience together.

60. When he is giving his speech, the speaker should ___________.

A. let his eyes rest on the subject                       B. follow the audience step by step

C. face the audience in a natural way                 D. look up and down from time to time

61. During the course of a speech, it is not right for a speaker to ___________.

A. think nothing of the audience                       B. speak in a clear voice

C. take a short stop at times                               D. give a lot of examples

62. What does the underlined word “pause” mean in the passage?

A. listen                             B. stop                         C. choose                     D. search

63. Which title best gives the main idea of the passage?

B. How to Pick out the Topic for a Speech

C. How to Prepare the Material for a Speech
