第十六篇： Error Correction (15 minutes)

　　When you are facing with a large audience, you may get --81--.nervous, you may forget what you want to say, you may stumble over words, you may talk too long, and you may bore your audience. Later you think, "Thank goodness, it's over. I'm just no good in public speaking. I hope I never have to do that --82--. again." Cheer up! It doesn't have to be that bad. Here is some --83.-- simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. First of all, it is important to do your homework. Find out everything you can about your subject. And, at the same time, find out much as you --84--. can about your audience. Who are they? What do they know about your subject?

　　Ask you the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? --85--.

　　Why are you speaking? Are you introducing another speaker?

　　Giving a lecture? Or convince someone? There are many possible --86--.

　　speaking roles, and each one has its own special characteristics.

　　Make sure you know by which category you fit. Don't spoil your --87--.

　　speech by confusing one speaking role to another. --88--.

　　Let us suppose that you have asked to introduce the main --89--.

　　speaker at a conference. First, find out the most important and

　　interesting things about the speaker. Then, summarize this

　　information in a few remarks. It is all right to tell a joke or an

　　anecdote if it is in good taste and will not embarrass the speaker.

　　Remember: Be brief, you are the man speaker. --90--.
