Question

Are you nervous when you stand in front of the public? Are you afraid to make a speech?

     Li Jun, a middle school boy, felt shy when he was making a speech the other day. Li had thought it would be quite easy to speak in front of   41   classmates.

     "I was wrong. It was very different and much   42   than talking to my classmates during playtime," Li said. "I tried, but it was really difficult to speak. I felt like a mute (啞巴) and wanted to leave the classroom   43   "

     Li is not alone. Many middle school students now have the same   44   : they can talk about their ideas freely   45   their best friends after class, but can't speak in public. According to Zhou Hong, a teacher from a university, the main reason is that schools in China pay more attention to writing instead of  46  .

     Zhou hopes schools can give students more chances to open their   47  , such as speech competitions, English corners and class discussions. Students can join in any one they want to.   48   he also gives some advice to students. "During your free time you should  49   more. When you're speaking in public, take it easy. Just imagine you're talking to nobody and speak up your ideas clearly," Zhou said. "That   50   a fine public speech and you'll feel confident. "

【解析】本短文屬于記敘文。通過實(shí)例講述學(xué)生們普遍存在的在公共場合講話的不自然問題，并圍繞這一現(xiàn)象作了分析，試圖找到解決的辦法。

1.主語是Li，也就是這個(gè)男孩，使用物主代詞his，表示“他的”。

2.Li 認(rèn)為，公眾場合演講跟平時(shí)玩時(shí)說話不一樣，而且難得多。

3.在演講時(shí)緊張地說不出話來，只想匆匆離開。

4.此處是普遍存在的問題，用problem“難題”；question是可以回答的問題。

5.使用talk with，同……交談。

6.本文一直圍繞“說”的話題。老師認(rèn)為，“寫”代替了“說”。

7.后面的幾項(xiàng)都跟“說”有關(guān)，因此這里是“開口說”的意思。

8.后面句子跟前面是并列關(guān)系，補(bǔ)充說明，用and連接。

9.意思是“多練習(xí)”。因?yàn)橹挥芯毜枚�，才熟能生巧�?/p>

10.按照Zhou老師的建議來做，就會產(chǎn)生好的演講。
