Above all know your audience and match what you say to their needs.Creating your presentation with your audience in mind will assure that your audience will follow you.If your presentation doesn't appeal to your audience- no matter how well you have developed your presentation-- your presentation will fall on deaf ears.This leads us to the next rule: Know your material thoroughly.Your material needs to be second nature to you.Practice and rehearse your presentation with friends, in front of a mirror, and with colleagues.If you are speaking in a second language, make sure that you record yourself and listen to a number of times before going to practice with a native speaker (if possible).
Remember that you are an actor when presenting.Make sure that not only your physical appearance is appropriate to the occasion, but also the tone you use is well chosen.If your topic is serious, be solemn.However, it's always a good idea to begin your presentation with an ice-breaker.Don't worry about making friends, rather lead the audience through your materials in a calm and relaxed manner.Speak slowly and clearly, and remember to address everyone in the audience - even the person the farthest away from you.
To achieve the above goals follow these tips when giving your presentation:
● Speak with conviction.Believe what you are saying and you will persuade your audience.
● Do not read from notes.Referring to notes is fine, but do so only briefly.
● Maintain eye contact with your audience.Making direct eye contact with individuals will help them feel as if they are participating in your presentation.
● Bring handouts.Don't just use a PowerPoint presentation.Provide audience members with handouts of the most important materials so they can keep your most
important takeaways in mind.
● Know when to stop.This cannot be underestimated.You need to make your case, but continuing for too long will only ensure that the audience forgets what you have said.

2. What should you do before your practice in a second language?

ATake photos of you presenting

BRecord yourself presenting

CRead through your presentations

DRead aloud to your foreign friends

We first think of the traditional or nuclear family.This is a two-generation family, the father and the mother and their own children.Most couples wanted to have four children, two boys, two girls.
Some nuclear families, however, may add one or more grandparents to come to live with them, that is three generations.This kind of family with grandparents, parents, and grandchildren is called an extended family.This family type was not very common during the later half of the twentieth century, but it's becoming more common now as an elderly grandparent moves in to live with a son or daughter.This is more possible now that American homes have become larger.What is interesting, however, is that after the grandchildren move out of the home and start their own families, this extended family shrinks back to a nuclear family, with just two generations again living together, a grandparent and parents, with the grandchildren coming only for occasional visits.
Now, the fatherless or motherless family is one kind of what we call a single-parent family.In the fatherless family it's just the mother and her children.As I said, this can be the result of the husband's death, of an unmarried mother, of a separation or divorce.There are also a growing number of motherless families--where the father raises the children, for any of the same reasons.A motherless family may also be fatherless, but still a family with one adult.This is becoming more common in the big cities where a grandmother will raise her daughter's children while the daughter goes elsewhere to work.
One other new kind of family is becoming increasingly more common.A single parent with one or more children will marry again.Perhaps the other parent is also a single parent.Together they will start what is called a blended family, which blends together or combines the children from two other families.

3. How is a blended family formed?

AA blended family is formed by two single-parent families

BA blended family is formed by a nuclear family and a grandparent

CA blended family is formed by a nuclear family and grandparent

DA blended family is formed by two fatherless families

Have you ever argued with your loved ones oversimple misunderstandings（误解）？Little wonder. We often believe we're more skillful in getting our point across than we actually are,according to Boza Keysar, a professor at the University of Chicago. In his recent study,speakers tried to express their meanings using unclear sentences. Speakers who thought listeners understood were wrong nearly half the time. Here's some good advice to reduce misunderstanding: (1)Don't trust what you see from the listener. Listeners often nod,look at you or say“uhhuh”to be polite or move the conversation along. But it’s easy to consider these as signs of understanding. （2）Train the editor（编辑）in your head. If you say，“Beth discusses her problems with her husband,”it’s not clear whether she’s talking to her husband or about him. Try instead,“Beth talks to her husband about her problems.” or”Beth talks to others about the problems with her husband.” (3)Ask listeners to repeat your message. Introduce your request by saying“I want to be sure I said that right.”Questions like“How does that sound？”or“Does that make sense？”may also work. (4)Listen well. When on the receiving end,ask questions to be sure you're on the same page. After all,it isn’t just the speaker’s job to make his speech understood.

4. The writer suggests that when talking to others,the speaker should______.

Aknow that listeners will show him that they understand his words

Bexpress himself clearly even when he sees signs of understanding

Cnotice listener’s signs of understanding

Dlook directly into his listener’s eyes
