Are you nervous when you stand in front of the public? Are you afraid of making a speech?
Li Jun, a middle school boy, felt shy when he was making a speech the other day. 1 first, Li thought it quite easy because he had already practised at 2 (little) five times. "I was totally wrong. It was very different and much 3 (hard) than talking to my classmates during playtime," Li said. "I felt 4 (help) and wanted to leave the classroom quickly."
Li is not alone. Many middle school students now have the same problem: they can talk about their ideas freely with their best friends after class, 5 they can't speak in public. According to Zhou Hong, 6 teacher from a university, the main reason is that schools in China pay more attention to 7 (write) instead of speaking.
Zhou hopes schools can give students more chances to open their mouths, such as speech competitions, English corners and class discussions. He also offers some 8 (suggest) to students. "During your free time, you should practise more. When you're speaking in public, take it easy. Just imagine you're talking to nobody and speak up your ideas 9 (clear), which helps you to be at the 10 (high) of your powers," Zhou said. "That makes a fine public speech and you will be happy."
