Question

Speaking in public is most people's least favorite thing．The reason is that we are all afraid of making fools of ourselves．The more important the speech is, the more frightened we become．In fact, public speaking is not a "gift" like musical talent （天賦） ．Anybody who can talk can speak in public．Here are some of the lessons I have learned:

Try to make your idea clear and brief．If you can't express what you intend to get across in a sentence or two, and then your speech is not focused well enough．If you don't have a clear idea of what you want to say, your audience will make no sense．After all, what you can impress your audience in your speech is one or two of your main ideas．One or two．Not ten or twenty．

No matter how long or short your speech is, you've got to organize it well-how you are going to open, what major points you want to make and how you're going to close．A strong close is critical: the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember．When I do a radio or TV piece, I often write the last sentence first．When you know where you're headed, you can choose any route to get there．

Finally, you'd better limit the time of your speech as properly as you can to hold the audience's curiosity．Take a vaudeville act （雜耍） for example．The standard length of one is usually 12 minutes．Just imagine how you are feeling if you have been watching all the performers singing and dancing their hearts out for more than the standard time!

解析:

76．文章第一段最后提出Anybody who can talk can speak in public．Here are some of the lessons I have learned:已經點明寫作意圖：如何做公開演講。

77．從第二段If you can't express what you intend to get across in a sentence or two, and then your speech is not focused well enough．可以看出，應該使演講有焦點，并圍繞焦點展開。  

78． 從第二段If you don't have a clear idea of what you want to say, your audience will make no sense．可以看出來，如果觀點不明確，聽眾會不知所云。

79．第三段第一句話開篇點題， No matter how long or short your speech is, you've got to organize it well，強調了謀篇布局的重要性。

80．第三段第一句話后面的how you are going to open, what major points you want to make and how you're going to close表明我們選擇寫作的路線圖，亦即演講的結構。

81．文章的構造包括開頭和結尾。

82．從最后一段you'd better limit the time of your speech可以看出演講的時間應該受到控制。

83．第一句話后部分強調演講不要太長，要抓住聽眾的好奇心。

84．答案可以從第一句找到線索。

85．演講太長，聽眾很顯然會厭煩呢。
