Speaking to a group can be difficult, but listening to a bad speech is truly a tiresome task—especially when the speaker is confusing. Don’t want to confuse your audience? Follow these suggestions:
1.__________
When it comes to understanding new information, the human brain needs a little time. First, we hear the words; then, we compare the new information to what we already know. If the two are different, we need to pause and think. But a breathless speaker never stops to let us think about what he or she is saying and risks confusing us. Slow it.
2.__________
Sometimes we all start a sentence one way and then switch directions, which is very difficult to follow. When you confuse your listeners with opposing information, you leave the audience wondering what part of the information is right and what part they should remember. Instead of relying and keeping correcting yourself, work to get the facts clear and straight.
3.__________
Jumping from point to point as it comes to your mind puts the onus (责任)on your listeners to make up for your lack of organisation. And it’s confusing for them to listen, reorganise, and figure out what you’re saying all at once. But going smoothly from one point to the next helps them understand information more easily. You can arrange things from beginning to end, small to large, top to bottom or by some other order. Just be sure to organise.
4.__________
Repeated use of um, ah, like, you know and some other useless noises can drive an audience crazy. It makes the speaker sound uncertain and unprepared, and it can leave listeners so annoyed that they can’t pay attention. Recently I attended a speech that was marked by so many ums that audience members were rolling their eyes. Was anybody grasping the intended message? Um, probably not.
5.__________
Many speakers finish up their speeches with question-and-answer (Q & A) sessions, but some let the Q & A go on without a clear end. The audience is often left confused about whether the meeting is over and when they can get up and leave. Do your listeners a favour by setting a time limit on questions, and close your speech with a specific signal—even if it’s something simple like, “If you have any more questions, you know where to reach me.”
Or even more to the point, conclude your speech with “Thanks for your time. ”
A. Be well-organised.
B. Close with a Q & A.
C. Don’t be contradictory.
D. Bring it to a specific end.
E. Speak slowly and pause.
F. Drop unnecessary words.
G.how to make life simple.

---Come in, Joan. Have you finished that report for me yet?
---Yes, Mr. Canfield, but I haven’t had time to prepare the sales figures yet, I’m afraid.
---That’s all right. 1I believe you’ve moved.
---Not yet. 2We’ve been in our present house since 1997 and it’s got too small for us now.
---Well, I hope the new place suits you better.
--- 3It’s taken us six months to find a bigger place that we like---one with a bigger garden. Since the children have grown, they need more space.
--- Well, the best of luck with the new place.
--- 4Oh, by the way, I’d like to send a copy of the report to Mr Hansen. Is that OK?
--- 5Miss Grace, our sales director, has just asked me about it in fact. They’ve already decided to accept whatever suggestions you’ve made, so they obviously trust your judgment.
--- That’s good. I’ll go and make a start on the sales figures now.
--- Ok, Joan. See you later.
A.I think so. |
B.Yes, that’s a good idea. |
C.I know you’ve been very busy.![]() |
