25、   When you visit a foreign country, it is important to know how to ask for help politely. For example, “Where are the restrooms?” or “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?” are correct English, but the first one sounds less polite. We also need to learn how to be polite by being less direct when we ask for help.

In English, as in Chinese, we change the way we speak when we talk with different people. The expressions you use might depend on whom you are speaking to or how well you know them. If you say to your teacher, “When is the school trip.’’, this might sound impolite. But if you say, “Excuse me, Mr. West. Do you know when the school trip is?’’, this will sound much more polite. However, it is all right to ask direct questions with your classmates.

It is important to learn how to use proper language. This will also help you become better at English, or any other language you wish to speak.

根据短文内容判断下列句子意思与原文是否相符，相符的写T，不相符的写F。

【1】It’s important to be polite in a foreign country.

【2】We needn’t learn how to be polite when we ask for help.

【3】It’s polite to change the way we speak when we talk with different people.

【4】“Excuse me, Mr….Do you know …?” sounds more impolite than “Do you know …?”.

【5】Using proper language will help us become better at the language we wish to speak.

27、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.
