When you stand on the stage, think of the audience (观众) as your family members and friends. ◆Keep it natural      Natural body languages will help your speech: smile, stand straight and look at the audience. Do not drop your head or play with a pen. Also, dressing yourself nicely will help the audience feel respected. ◆Pace and pause (节奏和停顿)      Pace and pause add color to your speech.
