A

＂I want a phone!" said Myrna.

＂I'm sure you do," said her dad.

＂No, Dad. You don't understand. I really, really, really want a phone."

＂And I really, really, really want a boat. It's not going to happen."

Myrna and her dad were stuck in traffic. To her, it seemed like they were always stuck in traffic. When he took her to school in the morning-traffic. When he picked her up in the afternoon-traffic. Go to the bank, the grocery, a birthday party, and what felt like ten hours of traffic was what they got.

She was bored, because traffic was boring. And when she was bored, she wanted things. Right now,she wanted a phone. She wasn't sure if her dad understood that. She would have to tell him again.

＂I WANT A PHONE."

＂NO."

＂What if I got stuck in a cave?"

＂What?" asked her dad, trying not to laugh.

＂What if I had a little cat and the cat ran away, and I had to run after it. What if the cat ran into a cave,and I ran after the kitten, and in the cave there was a bear, and the bear trapped me,and-"

＂And then you were stuck in the cave."

Myrna nodded the way she did when she won an argument, but her dad wasn't through fighting. ＂Is this a mother bear? I hear they are the fiercest."

＂Yes. It's a mother bear, and she's very upset, and she's going to eat me unless I have a phone to call for help."

＂If it's a mother bear, then you can use her phone. Everyone knows that mums always carry

phones."

Dad was laughing as he said this. Myrna didn't think it was very funny. She slammed her hand down on the door of the car as hard as she could, which wasn't very hard. Now she was angry.

＂If I had a phone, I could play games on it!"

＂If I had a boat, I could eat steaks on it. That doesn't mean I'm getting one."

＂No,but I mean..." Myrna spluttered(结巴）。When she was very angry,she spluttered. It was embarrassing. "If I could play games, I wouldn't be so bored when we were in traffic. I wouldn't bother' you!"

＂I don't mind being bothered. I like talking to you."

＂Then I won't say anything at all!"

Dad smiled quietly to himself. "I'm going to call Mum to let her know we'll be late." He reached into his pocket. "Oh! My battery's dead."

＂You know... if I had a phone, I could call Mum," said Myrna.

＂Nice try."

Myrna smiled. She wasn't getting a phone,but she knew she was right, and that was almost as good.

As an adult, you have to do things like waking up before noon, going to the grocery store on your own, and trying to keep a steady job. And some jobs will require you to speak before more than two people. Don't worry. We've done the research to make you a better public speaker. Now all you have to do is to follow the rules we have collected.

Confidence

Believe in yourself if you want to be a better public speaker. Many speakers are no prepared and lose confidence because of that. But others lack confidence because they are afraid of being judged and they become nervous and sweat a lot just like when they were in high school speech class. Yes,that's the mature(成熟的，成年人的）world we live in. Build your confidence by using all your tools and realizing that you are the centre of public speaking.

Know what's up

You have to know your topic inside and out. Nothing kills your speech like "um" and "uh" appearing in every sentence. You are possibly picked to make this speech because you know something about the topic,so that's half success.Now get in there and learn everything about the topic .

Practice

Researching and knowing your topic is one thing,but actually expressing that information is a wholly different thing.When the lights go down and the spotlight(聚光灯）is on you, no matter how much you know your topic, expressing the information suddenly seems frightening. It is necessary to practice your speech before standing on stage. You should do the rehearsal(排练）again and again in front of the mirror. So when you stand on stage, it will be like riding a bike unless you don't know how to ride a bike.

Dress properly

Of course, you will want to dress properly for the speech-which could be a suit(套装）。Regardless of the dressing, you will want to make sure it is also comfortable for you. If the suit is

too tight,stiff, or whatever, it will take your attention away from the speech.

Be Robin Williams

You may not be naturally funny. In fact, you can learn to be funny from other people who happen to be funny. While we are not suggesting you become Robin Williams,we suggest you arm yourself with a joke or two to make sure that your speech is not so boring. Or at least google some funny words or stories you can use in your speech.
