Making a public speech is the thing that most people don’t want to do. The reason is that we are all afraid of making mistakes in front of others. The more important the speech is, the more frightened we will be. But forget it now. Public speaking is easy. It’s just a simple talking, Although I’m a shy man, I’ve been making speeches and talking on radio and television for more than 30 years. Anybody who can talk can speak in public. Here are some of the lessons I have learned:
Keep your speech simple. Your audience can’t take all of your main ideas, and they can only remember one or two of them, not ten or twenty. So you should prepare one or two of your main ideas very well. But if you can’t express what you want to say, then your speech will not be paid attention to. And if you don’t have a clear idea of what you want to say, your audience won’t, either.
Organize your speech well. No matter how long or short your speech is, you have to organize your speech—how you are going to open or begin, what main points you want to make and how you’re going to close or end. A strong close is usually very important and critical(关键的): the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember. If not, they will be confused.
Keep your speech not long. The standard (标准的) length of a speech is usually 12 minutes. Most people can’t put their minds in one thing for too long time, which will make them tired and lose their interest. If you pay no attention to your audience’s reaction(反应)，the audience will get bored. Of course, your speech will fail.
Following these suggestions above, you can make a good speech in public, and you will be an excellent speaker, I think.

Great white sharks have become well known in a bad way, for being scary.      . However, you are more likely to be hit by lightning than attacked by a great white shark.
One reason why people don’t like great white sharks is that they are huge. They grow to be nearly 21 feet long and can weigh up to 5,000 pounds. That is about two cars long! But the size is not typical. Most great whites are smaller, about 10 to 15 feet long.      .
Great whites are called apex predators（捕食者）because they are at the top of the food chain. They have no predators and aren’t that picky about what they eat. Great whites are known to eat fish, squid, other sharks, otters, turtles, dolphins, whales, seals, and sea lions.    . Great whites also eat carrion, which is the remains of dead animals floating（漂浮）in the water.
   . They have 3,000 teeth, and each is up to 3 inches long! Their very sharp teeth are shaped like triangles and have rough edges that tear into things. Great whites don’t even chew their food. They just swallow it down.        .
But, like other sharks, great whites don’t intentionally（主动地）eat or attack humans. So swim without fear.

A．That’s still longer than one car, though

B．Those last two kinds are their favourite food

C．Movies and popular stories make them scary

D．A big meal can satisfy a great white shark for about two months

E. Another reason why people fear great whites is their frightening teeth

One of the students gave a s  answer. This child said, “I want to be a television!” The teacher asked the child w he had such a wish. He said, with his eyes full o  tears, “There is no one at home to watch me or care for me. Everyone sits around the television. If there is a wrong with the TV, they give great attention to it and fix(修理) it at once.”
The loving teacher met the child's mother and t  about this with her. The mother said,
My husband is a very busy businessman. He n  has time to look after the child.” “But what about you?” the teacher asked the mother. “What do you know about me? I'm the head of the women's club. I have s  many meetings and activities.” The teacher now understood why the child f  lonely at home.
“I think children want their parents to spend m time with them.” said the teacher.
