      We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don't do a very good job.
This article gives some suggestions on how to give an effective speech.
      So, you have to give a speech-and you're terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say,
you stumble over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, "Thank goodness,
it's over. I'm just no good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again."
      Cheer up! It doesn't have to be that bad. Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech
making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then,
gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of time doing your research. Then spend
plenty of time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many
examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they will help you make your points more
clearly. Never forget your audience. Don't talk over their heads, and don't talk down to them. Treat your
audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.
      Just remember: be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. Say what
you have to say and then stop. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make
person-to -person contact with your audience.
      If you follow these simple steps, you'll see that you don't have to be afraid of public speaking. In
fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You're not
convinced yet? Give it a try and see what happens.

Certainly people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel as if you've known them half your life. These people have something in common. And once we know what it is, we can try to do it ourselves.

　　How is it done? Here are several skills （技能）that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they will help you put people at their ease （自在）, and make friends with them quickly.

　　First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. One well-known businessman says, “At business lunches, I always ask people what they did this morning. It's a common question, but it will get things going.” From there you can move on to other matters. Sometimes What he answers to really personal questions and how he answers will let you know how far you can go.

　　Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they wait for the answer. This point seems clear, but it isn't. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what kind of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively.

　　Real listening at least means something. First it means not to change the subject of conversation. If someone sticks （坚持）to one topic, you can take it as a fact that he will be really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones （调子）of voice if the voice sounds dull, then it's time for you to change the subject.

　　Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the situation （场合）of parting. If you're saying goodbye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “I've really enjoyed meeting you.” If you want to see that person again, don't keep it secret. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they've known you half their life.

A. they know well how they can get along with others

（　）2. Asking questions might be quite a good way ________ .

A. for you to make more and more new friends

B. to begin your business talks

Ever since I was a little child, my parents have told me to be honest because it is the right thing to do. As I got older, I realized something very important. If just once you are deceitful and tell a lie, it will greatly change people’s opinions about you and their way of acting toward you. When you tell a lie, you lose that person’s trust forever or have to work your whole life to get it back.
It is my personal goal to achieve great things in life and honesty(诚实) will sure help me get there. For me right now losing somebody’s trust would be a truly terrible thing. My parents would be stricter on the things they let me do and the places that they used to let me go to. My friends would never again tell me a secret or believe many things I told them. Whatever you do for a living or wherever you live, honesty is something very important.
Honesty gets you much higher in life while telling a lie can make you get into more problems. I can already tell that the great people I have met so far are all honest people.
I hope that I’ll never fall into a situation where I’ll lie. Honesty is just as important to me as my family. Already, I know it is something that will improve my future and my relationship with all people. It is something about myself that I hope never to lose no matter what happens. Honesty will help me no matter whether I’m at school, home or just hanging out with friends. It is something that I hope my children will also have and value.
