How to prepare a lecture
Being invited to give a lecture is an honor．It means that people regard you as an authority on a given field, subject, or issue．It means you are worth listening to．You have to make sure your lecture is interesting, and full of wisdom, from which the audience can take valuable insights．This is why it is important for you to prepare your lecture well．
1．Think of a good topic．
You most likely will be assigned to talk about a certain topic．If that's the case, you only need to make an outline and do some research．But in some cases, you will have to think of your own topic．Although it gives you more freedom to do it, thinking of a topic can be tricky．Or pick a topic that is timely and socially relevant．
2．Make an outline for the lecture．
Start by listing down the points that you will discuss, and then fill in each point with subpoints．If necessary, make a research about your topic．But if in so doing you end up with a very long outline, figure how you can shorten the topic or cut where cutting is needed．
3．
Statistics, figures, medical information, historical accounts, and similar information should all be checked and it will save your credibility as an authority on the subject you are talking about．
4．Add humor．
Don't engage your audience in a dragging soliloquy （独白）．Humor will interest your audience．Of course, make sure the elements in your lecture are in line with your main topic and are not nonsense, racial, and offensive jokes．

A．Check your lecture for accuracy

B．Giving a lecture is challenging, though．

C．If necessary, provide your contact information, such as an email address or blog site．

D．Instead, make your audience smile, or burst into laughter at certain points in your discussion．

E．To make it easier, consider what will interest your audience．
F．It should summarize your whole talk in one sentence．
G．Don't be afraid of exploring the topic, as this will allow you to discover other points that need discussion．

True self-confidence isn't an overnight acquisition. It takes dedication to realize you are a good human being that is worthy of respect and love.
________________________
This could be anything from regrets to friends at school or negative experience. Whatever is making you feel unworthy, or ashamed, identify it, give it a name, and write it down. You can also tear these written pieces to start feeling positive on those points.
_________________________
Each day you should weaken it. There's no quick fix. Get to the root of the problem; focus on it and understand that you need to resolve each issue before you can move on. Check if it is an old past emotion and if it is really still relevant or applicable in your life today. And that does not mean you have to get rid of whatever makes you feel bad (many times, you simply can't). You need to learn to accept yourself, your past, your circumstances as they are, without necessarily thinking of them as “bad”.
________________________
Everyone is good at something, so discover the things at which you do extremely well, then focus on your talents. Give yourself permission to be proud of them. Give yourself credit for your successes. Inferiority (自卑) is a state of mind in which you've declared yourself a victim. Do not allow yourself to be victimized.
________________________
Avoid self-pity, or the pity and sympathy of others. Never allow others to make you feel inferior—they can only do so if you let them. If you continue to dislike and look down upon yourself, others are going to do and believe likewise. Instead, speak positively about yourself, about your future, and about your progress. Do not be afraid to show your strengths and qualities to others. By doing so, you strengthen those ideas in your mind and encourage your growth in a positive direction.
________________________
When you know you’re helpful to the people around you, and are making a positive difference in other people’s lives, you'll know that you are a positive force in the world—which will boost yourself confidence.
Now, dear friends, Be confident, and accomplishing your goals will be just around the corner.

A good book can be satisfying. If reading is a habit you’d like to get into, there are some ways to develop it.

_______________ Find a place in your home where you can sit in a comfortable chair. Don’t lie down unless you’re going to sleep. There should be television or computer near the chair, and no music or no noisy family members/roommates. If you don’t have a place like this, create one.

Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.

A. When a child should learn to read
B. Why it is fun to teach a child reading
C. What if a child has reading problems
D. How you prepare a young child for reading
E. What is the best way to teach a child reading
F. Whether reading early promises later achievements

______________
Learning to read early has become one of those indicators — in parents' minds at least – that their child is smart. In fact, reading early has very little to do with whether a child is successful academically. Research has shown that difficulty with reading is often due not to inferior intelligence but to differences in the developmental wiring of each individual child. In some cases, there are neurological problems and developmental lags that can be overcome with proper training.
______________
Traditionally, American schools teach children at age six, but many schools begin teaching informally in kindergarten and pre-kindergarten. If parents start too early to encourage reading, and a child does not immediately succeed, the parent has a hard time relaxing and letting the child go at his or her own pace.
___________
Over the years, research has proved that the use of both the “whole language" method and the "phonic" method works best for a child to master reading. While the whole language approach, which includes reading to children and getting them interested in both the activity of reading and the story they are reading, is helpful, phonics must be taught. Children must be taught that one of the squiggles they see is a "p" and another a "b". Getting the print off the page requires a different ability than being able to understand the meaning of what is written.
_______________
You can start developing the skills needed in reading at a very young age without putting any pressure on children. Besides reading to them, parents can start "ear training" their child by playing thyme games. This develops the child's ability to recognize different sounds. In reading to children, parents also can point to words as they go, teaching the child that the funny lines on the page are the words you are saying. All this should be a fun activity.
_____________
Once a child is in school, the learning of reading is inevitably more serious. For children who have some kind of reading difficulty, you must get a professional diagnosis. While the teacher might say the child is merely disinterested but will get over it, disinterest or poor performance in reading can stem from a number of things, some being very specific learning disabilities that can be identified and worked on. But it is very tricky for parents to deal with their own child's learning disabilities.

Filmgoers should be told how many calories there are in the popcorn, ice cream and soft drinks that they buy in cinemas, according to the Food Standard Agency.
Smaller popcorn buckets and drink cups should also be made1, the nutrition inspector said.
Tim Smith, chief executive of the agency, told The Times that cinemas should help to deal with the country's overweight2.
"There is a misbelief that popcorn is calorie-free, but that is not the case. It is a3to us," he said. "Portion sizes are also a big issue, and there seems to be increasingly big packs on sale."
He spoke as a number of food chains such as Pret A Manger, Wimpey and The Real Greek4to put calorie counts on all their menus.
A trial scheme（试行方案） with 21 food companies took place last summer, and5are that consumers altered their buying habits when they realised the number of calories in a product.
A consultation(征询意见) on the trial ends next month but Mr Smith is already planning the second drive for American-style calorie counts and is6to win support from cinemas and other entertainment places, from football grounds to concert halls.
Government7suggest that two thirds of adults and a third of children are overweight. If trends are not8, this could rise to almost nine in ten adults and two thirds of children by 2050, putting them at9risk of heart disease, cancer and other diseases.
