2.Why would you want to speak without notes?A presenter that keeps checking his notes looks as if he didn't prepare or he doesn't know much about the topic.That can damage your image in the mind of the audience and no wonder their thoughts will wander during your speech.So,let's discover how you can speak without keeping checking notes while giving a presentation.
The most common technique is to use key word notes.While giving the presentation you are simply filling in the blanks between the key words.You can do this because you know your material well.This method makes it easy for you to recall what you plan to cover.The challenge is to cut your presentation down to a few key words.
The second technique is to prepare your presentation as a series of questions.The questions could be the most common questions about your business.You've heard and answered those questions many times so you can certainly talk about them.Asking yourself a specific question is also an effective way of drawing out the information from your memory.A variation(变体) of this technique is to ask your audience questions.Listen to their responses and then add your comments to fill in the gaps(间隙).This"unpredictable"method will make your presentation appear more like a conversation.Therefore you will look more confident and knowledgeable.But you can't know the direction of the question.
The third technique is to use props(道具).Put them on a table in the order that you plan to address them.They could be products,tools or toys.You could even use colored pieces of paper,books or letters.They serve as a visual clue(提示) to you and add the"show-and-tell"feature to your presentation.

15.Conflict is on the menu tonight at the café La Chope.This evening,as on every Thursday night,psychologist Maud Lehanne is leading two of France's favorite pastimes,coffee drinking and the"talking cure".Here they are learning to get in touch with their true feelings.It isn't always easy.The customers-some thirty Parisians who pay just under $2(plus drinks) per session-are quick to intellectualize (高谈阔论),slow to open up and connect."You are forbidden to say‘one feels,'or‘people think',"Lehane told them."Say‘I think,'‘Think me'."
A café society where no intellectualizing is allowed?It couldn't seem more un-French.But Lehanne's psychology café is about more than knowing oneself:It's trying to help the city's troubled neighborhood cafés.Over the years,Parisian cafés have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle-longer working hours,a fast food boom and a younger generation's desire to spend more time at home.Dozens of new theme cafes appear to change the situation.Cafes focused around psychology,history,and engineering are catching on,filling tables well into the evening.
The city's psychology cafés,which offer great comfort,are among the most popular places.Middle-aged homemakers,retirees,and the unemployed come to such cafés to talk about lover,anger,and dreams with a psychologist.And they come to Lehance's group just to learnto say what they feel.There's a strong need in Paris for communication,says Maurice Frisch,a café La Chope regular who works as religious instructor in a nearby church."People have few real friends.And they need to open up,"Lehanne says she'd like to see psychology cafés all over France."If people had normal lives,these cafés wouldn't exist,"she says,"If life weren't a battle,people wouldn't need a special place just to speak."But then,it wouldn't be France.
