We were on a visit to Monkey Island. Jim thought we should try water skiing(滑水).
We can get a boat and ski at Monkey Island.
Don’t go water skiing near Monkey Island today,” said the woman standing near the
boats. “There might be sharks(鲨鱼) in the water.”
“I don’t think so.” said Jim who thought he knew everything.
“I wouldn’t go water skiing in the sea near Monkey Island today,” said the man with the
woman. “They saw sharks in the water yesterday.”
“The sharks won’t hurt me,” said Jim with a big smile on his face.
Another man getting out of a boat said, “I’m sure we just saw a shark in the water a few minutes ago.”
“Don’t worry about me,” said Jim. “I don’t worry about sharks.”
Jim and his two friends, Bill and Bruce pushed the boat into the water. Jim was driving the
boat. He drove very fast and sprayed water on everyone standing near the boat.
Jim drove the boat to the middle of the sea near Monkey Island. Everyone could see him and the boat. He
wanted to show everyone how well he could water ski.
“You drive the boat, Bill,” Jim said. “Bruce, you watch me and the rope while I water ski.”
“What about the sharks?” asked Bill.
“Forget about the sharks,” said Jim. “I’m not afraid of sharks.”
Jim got into the water. He was putting his feet in the water skis. Then Jim felt something large and hard touch
his leg as it swam past him. Suddenly, a brown fin(鳍) moved through the water towards Jim.
Later, when Bill and Bruce stopped laughing, they said, “We never saw anyone move so fast! You were
running on top of the water to get back in the boat! You even left the water skis in the water.
“There it is again! Shark! Shark!” cried Jim.
Everyone laughed----even the people standing on shore.
The dolphin(海豚) came to surface again, took a deep breath, smiled at Jim and went back down into the deep water.

Making a public speech is the thing that most people don’t want to do. The reason is that we are all afraid of making mistakes in front of others. The more important the speech is, the more frightened we will be. But forget it now. Public speaking is easy. It’s just a simple talking, Although I’m a shy man, I’ve been making speeches and talking on radio and television for more than 30 years. Anybody who can talk can speak in public. Here are some of the lessons I have learned:
Keep your speech simple. Your audience can’t take all of your main ideas, and they can only remember one or two of them, not ten or twenty. So you should prepare one or two of your main ideas very well. But if you can’t express what you want to say, then your speech will not be paid attention to. And if you don’t have a clear idea of what you want to say, your audience won’t, either.
Organize your speech well. No matter how long or short your speech is, you have to organize your speech—how you are going to open or begin, what main points you want to make and how you’re going to close or end. A strong close is usually very important and critical(关键的): the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember. If not, they will be confused.
Keep your speech not long. The standard (标准的) length of a speech is usually 12 minutes. Most people can’t put their minds in one thing for too long time, which will make them tired and lose their interest. If you pay no attention to your audience’s reaction(反应),the audience will get bored. Of course, your speech will fail.
Following these suggestions above, you can make a good speech in public, and you will be an excellent speaker, I think.
Title: How to make a 1. speech | ||
Technique | Reasons | Requirements |

If you have a 3. idea of what you want to say, your audience will have, too. | ||
