We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don't do a very good job. This article gives some suggestions on how to give an effective speech.

You have to give a speech, and you're terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble (结巴的说话) over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank goodness, it's over. I'm just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”

Cheer up! It doesn't have to be that bad. Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking ? Spend plenty of time doing your research. Then spend plenty of time organizing your material so that your speech is possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they will help you make your points more clearly. Never forget your audience. Don't talk over their heads, and don't talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Just remember: be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. Say what you have to say and then stop. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.

If you follow these simple steps, you'll see that you don't have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You're not convinced yet? Give it a try and see what happens.

1．Paragraph 2 implies that________.

A．many people are afraid of giving a speech

B．many people are happy to give a speech

C．many people do not prepare for a speech

D．many people talk too long

2．The underlined phrase “talk over their heads” means“________”.

A．speak too loudly                                        B．look at the ceiling

C．look down upon them                                                                D．use words and ideas that are too difficult

3．All of the following statements are true except that________.

A．only a few people know how to make good speeches

B．a lecturer does not need to organize his speech

C．research is important in preparing a speech

D．there are simple steps you can take to improve your speaking ability

Nipon Maniar, brainchild of C - Shock - a game for the mobile phone to help overseas students cope with the culture shock of Britain.

Getting used to the UK way of life is one of those things that can really hit you hard as an overseas student.

An interactive game for your mobile

C -shock is an interactive game for mobile phones to help international university students cope with the culture shock of life in Britain.

Whether it's knowing about ‘ pub etiquette' or about how Brits display affection in public, the game will give you an idea of what to expect while living in the UK.

Your personal “e - mother”

C - shock — which has already been described as an “e - mother” or “mobile mummy” — follows the life of an international student arriving in Britain for the first time.

The aim of the game is to reduce your culture shock rating from a default of 100 to zero by performing a series of tasks on a university campus that introduce culture shock - inducing incidents and images.

By clicking on images along the journey, the player is warned about what culture shocks to expect - for example, it is acceptable for students to drink alcohol and it is okay for people to display affection in public.

Communicating with students

Nipon was faced with the challenge of getting used to British life after arriving in the UK as an international student from India five years ago.

With his personal experience,  Nipon and his research assistant,  Dr. Emily Bennett, developed the prototype of the mobile phone game after consulting the University's International Office and the British Council.

The game,  which also includes important information such as police and emergency telephone numbers, is a classic example of how mobile phone game technologies can be used to communicate with students.
