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

Football,to me,is more than just a game.I have probably learned more than valuable lessons from it than from school.

When I joined the team freshman year,I didn’t realize what I was getting into.Even though I had been playing since fourth grade and knew it was hard work,nothing would prepare me for the effort I would put into football that year.We worked all summer in the weight room and ran on the track to get in physical and mental shape before the season.

See,football is more of a mental sport than anything else,so running on the track wasn’t only about getting in shape.We would push our minds by running as hard as we could even if we felt like we were going to pass out.At the beginning,I was immature（幼稚的）and only thought of myself,sometimes even giving up when I was tired or hurting.Then after the third game I had a season-ending injury.Imagine working all summer and then only being able to play three games! I needed an operation on my arm and at least five months to recover.

After freshman year I decided that I would always give my best effort.Playing football in the college has taught me so much more than just what my tasks are on a particular play or how to block.I have learned to think about others first,and realized how important working hard is.Being with all my friends,even sweating and bleeding with them,really made us unite as a group of hard-working young men,who will succeed in life.

1.What is the text mainly about?

A. How the author dislikes the game of football.

B. When the author began to play football.

C. How the author has changed his attitude to football.

D. What sport the author likes best.

2.The author thinks football is_______.

A. just a game B. of a mental sport

C. hard to be out-of-date D. not worth his effort

3.In the third paragraph,the phrase “getting in shape” probably means ________.

I live in a city, and I like quiet life. I hate nosy (愛(ài)管閑事的) neighbors but it’s very unlucky that I had one for myself. They moved in a couple of months ago and although I never felt that they were a strange family, I’ve always hated the way they get “too close” to me, my house, my garden, and even my garbage cans.

One day, my neighbors were mowing their lawn (草坪). My garbage cans were near their lawn. For some strange reason, I found the wife looking through my garbage cans. I felt angry but since they were from a different culture, I thought that maybe it was “normal” from their ideas.

That afternoon, the couple knocked on my front door. When I opened, they gave me a plastic bag. Inside were my old daily bills, credit cards and bank statements, and an old birthday card that my old uncle sent. They said that they were returning them to me because these documents contained very private information that may be used by others.

I’ve heard of it before. I asked them how those documents can be used by others and they started telling me their very own experience, which forced them to leave their home and move next door to us. The wife told me that she never destroyed the bills. They also had a “nosy neighbour” who looked through their garbage cans which they actually thought was pretty strange. Little did they know that this “nosy neighbor” was collecting their personal information from their rubbish. Then all their money was taken out from the bank by their neighbor.

It was a very painful experience for all of them and they wanted to leave it all behind so they left. I was very thankful. They were not nosy neighbors. They simply didn’t want us to experience the same thing that they did.

A. they no longer had money to live in their former home

B. their personal documents were used by their former neighbor

C. they didn’t want to live in such a noisy home as before
