Public Speaking Training

Get a coach

    1    , so get help. Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training that's right for you.

Focus on positives

Any training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren't doing well.     2    , so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn’t do.

    3    

If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it’s going to give you lots of dos and don'ts, walk away! Your brain is so full of what you’re going to be talking about.     4    . As far as we’re concerned, there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking. Your audience can be your friends.

You are a special person not a clone.

Most importantly, good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits.     5    . Your training course should help you bring out your personality, not try to turn you into someone you're not.

A.You aren’t like anybody else
B.You already do lots of things well
C.Turn your back on too many rules
D.Check the rules about dos and don’ts
E.Whatever the presentation, public speaking is tough.
F.The one thing you don’t want is for them to fall asleep
G.So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worse

文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。介绍了写叙事诗的建议。

【推荐3】Narrative (叙事) poems — which simply mean “story poems”— are among the oldest forms of literature. Before there were printed books, people would tell stories through narrative poems, using rhythm, repetition and vivid language to make their tales easy to remember and share.     1     But modern narrative poems often have very free rhythms or no rhyme at all! However, almost all narrative poems tell a story that has a beginning, middle and end. Once you’re ready to write your own narrative poem, keep these tips in mind.

Choose a topic. Pick a story that you really want to tell.     2    Remember, the narrator of the poem doesn’t have to be you. It can be a character of your choice.

Skip the build­up. Narrative poems don’t waste words introducing characters or explaining the scene — most dive right in. Try starting your narrative poem in the middle of the action scene.     3    

Sweat the small stuff (小事). The best narrative poems use exact, descriptive words that bring out a story’s details and paint a rich picture.     4     You can use adjectives that help describe what the world looks, sounds, smells, tastes, and feels like, so readers will experience it just like you do.

    5     This is an especially good strategy if your narrative poem is long. Try repeating key words or phrases that are emotional or musical a few times. Remember Martin Luther King’s famous speech? He says “I have a dream” eight times during that speech, which is part of what makes it so powerful.

A.Repeat yourself.
B.Think of the five senses.
C.Try to divide your poem into several parts.
D.So readers can be brought immediately into the heart of your story.
E.Many older narrative poems have a set rhythm and rhyme structure.
F.A lot of older narrative poems tell beautiful love stories in everyday language.
G.It could be something that happened to you or something that’s completely fictional.
