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．
When parents celebrate an anniversary, it’s not just a celebration for the parents but for the entire family. There are many types of wedding anniversary gifts. These gifts reflect a lot of thought and effort. Choosing a gift for parents that involves the whole family makes the event more special for them.
BudgetParents usually know the financial conditions of their children. Overspending can make parents uncomfortable and worried.
Considerations
An anniversary gift for parents should have two characteristics: customized (订制的), and something they can use together. The gift is celebrating their time spent together, so it has to be something they both will enjoy.
Family celebration
One of the biggest achievements of parents is raising children. So some children decide to buy an anniversary gift that involves the entire family such as a special family vacation.
A party as a gift If it is a milestone anniversary such as a 25th or 50th wedding anniversary, some children choose to hold a party. The guest list includes all family members who have been close to them over the years.
Family-themed gifts
One choice is a family photo taken by a professional or even a painting created by a professional artist using a family photo as the image to be painted. If the parents don’t have a DVD player, the player can be included as part of the gift.
| A．Sometimes gifts don’t have to be objects bought with money. |
| B．Brothers and sisters can share the cost of the party. |
| C．It is not a good idea to choose a gift that only looks good. |
| D．So the gift should be one selected specially for parents. |
E.Children shouldn’t spend too much money on the gift.
F.This way, the family can be together to celebrate the anniversary.
G.Another nice gift is making a DVD with old videotapes of family events.

76Spanish people drink coca cola, wear blue jeans, watch Hollywood movies, listen to American music, and eat fast food, and they do all these things daily.
I think that Aerican movies are a good way to spread American culture because people are often influenced by what they see in the movies. Most of the entertainment programs and documentaries we watch on TV are from America, and most of the movies we go to are made in Hollywood.
77Now, in our cinemas, at least twenty percent of the movies which are shown must be from Spain or from country of the European Community.
American culture is very much a part of Spanish life. It's certain that many things from America are as much a part of their lives as Spanish things. For example, coca cola is as familiar to everybody as any typical Spanish product. 78
However, it’s different with western fast food. For example, I don’t think McDonald’s is as successful in Spain as it is in other countries. In my opinion, one of the reasons may be the life style of the Spanish people 79
On the other hand, it may be that McDonald’s hamburgers will eventually replace the famous Spanish tapas. It’s true that in every city in Spain you can find a McDonald’s, and they are more popular among the Spanish children than among the adults. 80
| A．In any case, it’s obvious that American culture is more and more a part of our lives every day. |
B．The Spanish peopl e usually go out to eat. |
| C．I’ve known coca cola my whole life. |
| D． The spanish people normally eat at home |
E. In the past few years, our country has brought in many American movies.
F. In the past few years, the government has tried to protect Spanish movies.
G. The influence of America is increasing in my country.

A: Taking care of yourself is not being selfish. By caring enough to treat your body well, you will be in better shape to take care of those around you. No one can take care of your health except yourself;
B: Believe in yourself and your ability. Have a “can-do”attitude. Make a list of successful changes that you have made in the past. It is easier to achieve a goal when you are optimistic. Use humor and laugh off occasional lapses (过失). Have confidence that you can get back on track with your healthy routine.
C: Seek out a friend or co-worker who will make you feel comfortable. You will find out making friends is a happy thing in the world. Regular phone calls, emails or visits over coffee could help you keep a good contact with them. Perhaps your cheerleader could become your exercise buddy.
D: Reward yourself as you make simple changes that in the end will result in achieving your overall goal. Celebration is part of successful change. Create a list of incentives that will keep you motivated.
E: Adopt eating and physical activity habits that can become part of your lifestyle. Have a backup plan for those days when your plans to eat well and be active are challenged. If you can’t walk due to the weather, have an exercise video to use. If you have no time to pack a healthy lunch, choose a small fast food sandwich and side salad.
F: Go on a trip. Work and family are two most important things in people’s lives. People try to tackle the two things at once, but most of them fail. Just as an old saying goes: People who know how to rest know how to work. Go out with your family and have a good time.

__ 1 ___. This was not because the woods and fields were always far away, but because they were too far from the city to permit people to make a day trip between morning and nightfall.
In 1970, a young German school master had an idea which changed this situation. He decided to turn his little school into a dormitory (宿舍楼) for the summer holidays. Anyone who brought his sleeping bag and cooking equipment along could stay there for a very small quantity of money. The idea was a success. A few years later, the school house was much too small to hold the many young people who wanted to stay there. __ 2 ___ . This was the first hostel. (青年招待所) .
Today, young students and workers of every country can meet in the hostel and get to know each other. When young people arrive at the hostel, they have only to show their cards of membership in a hostel organization in their own country. ___3____ .
