18.Speaking in public is most people's least favorite thing.The reason is that we are all afraid of making fools of ourselves,(71)C.In fact,public speaking is not a"gift"like musical talent.Anybody who can talk can speak in public.Here are some of the lessons I have learned.(72)E.If you can't express what you inted to get across in a sentence or two,then your speech is not focused well enough.Besides,if you don't have a clear idea of what you want to say,your audience will make no sense.(73)A.
Now matter how long or short your speech is,you've got to organize it well-how you are going to open,what major points you want to make and how you're going to close.A strong close is critical:the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember,When I do a radio or TV piece,I often write the last sentence first.(74)F.
Finally,(75)B.Take a vaudeville act(杂耍)for example.The standard length of one is usually 12minutes.Just imagine how you are feeling if you have been watching all the performers singing and dancing their hearts out for more than the standard time.
A.You should focus your speech well enough
B.You'd better limit the time of your speech as properly as you can to hold the audience's curiosity
C.The more important the speech is,the more frightened we become
D.After all,what you can impress your audience in your speech is one or two of your main ideas
E.Try to make your idea clear and brief
F.When you know where you're headed,you can choose any route to get there
G.So the opening,body and ending of the speech are on the tip of your tongue.
