                                                                           A leader forever
     Look at these boys. Each of them holds a stick (棍子), and wears a tiny moustache (胡子) and a pair
  of glasses. They cover their heads and bodies with white cloth. They look just like Mohandas Gandhi,
 one of the greatest leaders in India.
     It was Gandhi's 140th birthday. The boys dressed like Gandhi to celebrate it.
     Gandhi was born in 1869. At that time, India was under British rule (统治). The British did not treat

 helped India win its independence (独立).

 their children to be thankful to this great leader.

      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.
