13、ver have to do that again. ” Cheer up! It doesnt have to be that bad. Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of time doi

14、ng your research. Then spend plenty of time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow.

15、d dont talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness. Just remember: be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief.

20、 to Prepare for a Speech D. Try to Enjoy a Speech BSolar energy for your home is ing. It can help you as a single home owner. It can help the whole country as well. Whether or not solar energy can save your money depends on many things. Where you live is one factor and the type of home you have is a

21、nother. Things like insulation (绝缘材料), present energy costs, and the type of system you buy are added factors. Using solar energy can help save our precious fuel. As you know, our supplies of oil and gas are very limited. There is just not enough on hand to meet all our future energy needs. Sooner o

22、r later Mother Nature will say thats all. The only way we can delay hearing those words is by starting to save energy now and by using other sources, like the sun. We wont have to worry about the suns running out of energy for another several billion years or so. Besides, the sun doesnt offer as man

23、y problems as other energy sources. For example, fossil fuel(矿物燃料) adds to already high pollution levels. With solar energy, we will still need sources of energy, but we wont need as much.

25、l and electricity prices will continue to rise. The demand for electricity is increasing rapidly. But new power plants will use more gas, oil or coal.

Energy from oil would not pollute our living environment.35. Solar energy is now in its infancy, _. A. but in the future it will bee an important par

29、t of our nations energy supply B. so we will build more power plants C. and the supply of electricity will be rationed throughout the country D. so we dont need it CSome people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together, they will

30、learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: international petitions encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred（憎恨）. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sport enco

31、urages international brotherhood. Not only was there the tragic incident including the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by incidents caused mainly by smaller national contests.
