Students in American schools learn from an early age to give presentations as part of their regular classroom activities.[20]Children as young as five years old often give brief talks about objects they bring in to school—called "show and tell," this training is a basis for later public speaking. Even so, many native English-speaking adults are afraid to speak or give presentations in front of a large group.
Speaking English in public meetings is necessary for many students and employees.[21]The best way to improve is to practice public speaking in a friendly environment. Learners need to receive feedback about what they are doing well and about their mistakes. One group that gives members the chance to practice is Toastmasters.
Toastmasters is an international organization that holds weekly meetings. At the meetings, members each give a speech and give others advice about their speeches and speaking style.
Charles LeBeau is a public speaking professor and consultant. He began his career in Japan in 1982. Currently, he teaches at two universities and at the Toshiba International Training Center. He has also written books on the subject. English language learners around the world use his book Speaking of Speech. Speaking of Speech tells about a method of teaching public speaking for non-native speakers. Mr. LeBeau says a simple approach helps English learners.
"The approach that I’ve taken is to simplify and break it down. First if we look at presentation, what’s going on, there are basically three messages that the presenter is giving the audience, all simultaneously. There’s what I call the physical message. Physical message is basically body language. It’s the way that my body, as a speaker, is talking to the audience. And then there’s also the visual message. The visual messages are the slides that we now make and show the audience. The third message is the story message. The story message is the content of our presentation. So another way we can think of the story message is that it’s the verbal message, it’s what we say to the audience. The story message also includes how we organize our ideas to present to the audience," LeBeau said.
In the next "Speaking Tips" we will explore Charles LeBeau’s recommendations for improving the Physical Message. He thinks this is the public speaking skill that is easiest for English learners to improve quickly.
20. What does the speaker say about American children?
21. What does the lecture tell us about Toastmasters?
22. What is true of Charles LeBeau?
选项
A、It provides a friendly environment for practicing public speaking.
B、It invites public speaking professors and consultants to teach.
C、It is a domestic organization that holds meetings monthly.
D、It publishes books on speeches and speaking style.
答案
A
解析
录音指出学习者需要一个友好的环境(friendly environment),而Toastmasters能提供这样的操练环境。A项复现Toastmasters的两个特点:friendly environment和public speaking,为正确答案。B项“它邀请公共演讲教授和顾问来授课”没有在录音提到,“公共演讲教授和顾问”是Charles LeBeau的身份。Toastmasters是一个国际性组织,并且是每周举行会议,C项错在domestic和monthly。D项“它出版关于演讲和演讲风格的书”没有在录音中提到。
