Speaking to a group can be difficult,but listening to a bad speech is truly a tiresome task-especially when the speaker is confusing.Don't want to confuse your audience?Follow these suggestions:
76.E
When it comes to understanding new information,the human brain needs a little time.First,we hear the words; then,we compare the new information to what we already know.If the two are different,we need to pause and think.But a breathless speaker never stops to let us think about what he or she is saying and risks confusing us.Slow it.
77.C
Sometimes we all start a sentence one way and then switch directions,which is very difficult to follow.When you confuse your listeners with opposing information,you leave the audience wondering what part of the information is right and what part they should remember.Instead of relying and keeping correcting yourself,work to get the facts clear and straight.
78.A
Jumping from point to point as it comes to your mind puts the onus (责任)on your listeners to make up for your lack of organization.And it's confusing for them to listen,reorganize,and figure out what you're saying all at once.But going smoothly from one point to the next helps them understand information more easily.You can arrange things from beginning to end,small to large,top to bottom or by some other order.Just be sure to organize.
79.F
Repeated use of um,ah,like,you know and some other useless noises can drive an audience crazy.It makes the speaker sound uncertain and unprepared,and it can leave listeners so annoyed that they can't pay attention.Recently I attended a speech that was marked by so many ums that audience members were rolling their eyes.Was anybody grasping the intended message?Um,probably not.
80.D
Many speakers finish up their speeches with question-and-answer (Q & A) sessions,but some let the Q & A go on without a clear end.The audience is often left confused about whether the meeting is over and when they can get up and leave.Do your listeners a favour by setting a time limit on questions,and close your speech with a specific signal-even if it's something simple like,"If you have any more questions,you know where to reach me."Or even more to the point,conclude your speech with"Thanks for your time."
A.Be well-organized. B.Close with a Q & A. C.Don't be contradictory. D.Bring it to a specific end. E.Speak slowly and pause. F.Drop unnecessary words. |

16.Telephone,television,radio,telegraph and the Internet all help people communicate with each other.As a result,ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world.For example,within seconds,people can know the results of an election in another country.An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a television set.News of a disaster such as an earthquake or a flood can bring help from distant countries within hours.Help is on the way.Because modern technology like the satellites travels all over the world,information travels fast.
How has this speed of communication changed the world?To many people,the world has become smaller.Of course this does not mean that the world is actually physically smaller.It means that the world seems smaller.Two hundred years ago,communication between the continents took a long time.All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the ocean.In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries,it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach America.This time difference influenced people's actions.For example,one battle,or fight,in the War of 1812 between England and the United States could have been avoided.A peace agreement had already been signed.Peace was made in England,but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America.During these six weeks,the large and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought.Many people lost their lives after a peace treaty (条约)had been signed.In the past,communication took much more time than it does now.
There was a good reason why the world seemed so much larger than it does today.
