Many people have a fear(害怕) of public speaking. According to a study, it has an influence on 3 in every 4 people. This fact is surprising and worrying, as most jobs require some speaking ability. The following will help you to make a speech better.
Write note cards. Write main ideas on your cards. Don’t write details. Put in some fun facts, questions, and other activities on the cards to share with the class. Don’t look at your note cards for a long time while speaking. If necessary, you’re only going to want to have a quick look at the card for information, not read every last word.
Smile at your class. When it comes time to speak, there’s nothing that draws your class into your speech than a good old-fashioned smile. Be happy, because you’re about to teach your class something they didn’t know before. Studies have shown that smiles are infections. That means once you smile, it’s hard for everyone else not to smile. So if you want your speech to go off well, smile. That’ll make everyone smile and maybe those smiles will make you actually smile.
Make eye contact. Nothing is more boring than listening to a speaker who looks at the floor or at note cards. Relax. Your class is made up of your friends and you talk to them all the time. Talk the same way now. have a look at every person in the classroom at least once. That way, everyone will feel like you’re communicating with them. Also, you’ll look like you know what you’re talking about.
Use hand motions. Move your hands along as you talk, using them to express your key points and keep the class interested. It will also lead your nervous energy into a better place.

It was Sunday. I had one last patient to see. I came close to her room in a hurry and stood at the doorway.
She was an older woman, sitting at the edge of the bed, trying to put socks on her swollen(肿大的) feet. I
spoke quickly to the nurse, saw her chart saying she was in stable(稳定的) condition. I was almost in the
clear.
She asked if I could help put on her socks. Instead, I began a long speech that went something like this:
" How are you feeling? Your blood sugar and blood pressure (血压)were high but they're better today. The
nurse said you can't wait to see your son who's visiting you today. It's nice to have a family visit from far
away. I'm sure you really look forward to seeing him. "
She stopped me with a serious voice. " Sit down, doctor. This is my story, not your story. "
I was surprised and ashamed. I sat down. I helped her with the socks. She began to tell me that her only
son lived around the corner from her, but she had not seen him in five years. She believed that the pressure of
this caused greatly to her health problems. After hearing her story and putting on her socks, I asked if there
was anything else I could do for her. She shook her head and smiled. All she wanted me to do was to listen.
Listening to someone's story costs less than expensive diagnostic(诊断的) testing but is key to healing
(痊愈).
I often thought of what that woman taught me the importance of stopping, sitting down and truly listening.
And, not long after, unexpectedly, I became the patient, with a diagnosis of sclerosis(硬化症) at age 31. Now,
20 years later, I sit all the time in a wheelchair.
For as long as I could, I continued to see patients from my chair, but I had to give up my job when my
hands were influenced. I still teach medical students and other health care professionals, but now from the view
of doctor and patient.
I tell them I believe in the power( 力量) of listening. I tell them I know firsthand that huge healing takes place within me when someone stops, sits down and listens to my story.

B. refused to listen to the doctor
C. liked giving orders to people
D. could not wait to break in
B. An Unforgettable Experience
