初中英语完形填空专练

Speaking in public is most people’s least favorite thing. The reason is that we35 all afraid of making fools of ourselves. The more 36 the speech is, the more frightened we become.

But stop biting your finger-nails. Public speaking is easy. It’s just plain talking, and you talk all the time. Although I’m basically shy (honest!). I’ve been 37speeches and talking on radio and television for more than 30 years. And I can tell you that public speaking is not a “ 38 ” like musical talent. Anybody who can talk can speak in 39 . Here are some of the lessons I have learned:

Your audience is going to come away with one or two of your main ideas.One or two, not ten or twenty.If you can't 40 in a sentence or two what you intend to get across, then your speech is not focused well enough.And if you don't have a 41idea of what you want to say, there's no way your audience will.No matter how long or 42 your speech is, you've got to get your ducks in a row—how you are going to open, what major points you want to make and how you're going to 43 .

When I do a radio or TV piece, I often write the last sentence first.When you know where you're headed, you can 44 any route to get there.A strong close is critical; the 45 thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember.

The standard length of a vaudeville(综艺节目) act is usually 12 minutes.If all those performers singing and dancing their hearts out couldn't go 46 longer without boring the audience, what makes you think you can?
