34、l on deaf ears. This leads us to the next rule: Know your material thoroughly. Your material needs to be second nature to you.

35、 and listen to a number of times before going to practice with a native speaker (if possible). Remember that you are an actor when presenting. Make sure that not only your physical appearance is appropriate to the occasion, but also the tone you use is well chosen. If your topic is serious, be solem

36、n. However, its always a good idea to begin your presentation with an ice-breaker. Dont worry about making friends, rather lead the audience through your materials in a calm and relaxed manner. Speak slowly and clearly, and remember to address everyone in the audience - even the person the farthest

37、away from you. To achieve the above goals follow these tips when giving your presentation: 1. Speak with conviction. Believe what you are saying and you will persuade your audience. 2. Do not read from notes. Referring to notes is fine, but do so only briefly. 3. Maintain eye contact with your audie

38、nce. Making direct eye contact with individuals will help them feel as if they are participating in your presentation. 4. Bring handouts. Dont just use a PowerPoint presentation. Provide audience members with handouts of the most important materials so they can keep your most important takeaways in

39、mind. 5. Know when to stop. This cannot be underestimated. You need to make your case, but continuing for too long will only ensure that the audience forgets what you have said. 1. What is the most important thing to remember when making a presentation?A.Match your presentation to the needs of your

40、audience.B.Make sure to wear your best clothes.C.Bring detailed handouts.D.Know your material thoroughly.答案:A本文讲的是演讲时应注意的问题。第一段第一句。Above all首先，最重要的是。首先要知道你的听众是谁，他们的需要是什么。你的演讲内容、风格、语气等要同他们的要求一致。2.

43、 take notes答案:B参见第四个要点。把你演讲的要点打印出来发给听众，他们会带回去看。所以很重要。 Social customs and ways of behaving change. Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behaviour for a man to smoke on the street. No man who thought of himself as bei

44、ng a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room. Customs are also different from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesnt it matter? What about table manner? Should you use both hands when you are eating? The

45、Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman, and

46、 so will most Americans. Promptness is important both in England and in America. That is, if a dinner invitation is for 7 oclock, the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay. The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do, anything that migh

47、t make other people feel uncomfortable especially if they are your guests. There is an old story about a man who gave a dinner party.
