We have all seen nervous presenters in classrooms and meetings.One effect of being nervous is moving from side to side. 1 In fact the audience can lose interest in a speaker who does not move.
How a speaker moves is important.Whole-body movement should be slow and planned to command attention.Such movement helps to communicate confidence. 2 But they look at their notes on a paper or at the screen if they have an electronic presentation.
With posture,the typical problem for new speakers is that they are often moving back and forth,and they’re not facing the audience.They’ll often be facing the white board or the screen with slides and be talking to that rather than talking to the audience.The same thing with eye contact—they find it really,really difficult—making eye contact with the audience,because they’ll be looking at their notes,they’ll be looking at their computer,they’ll be looking at the screen,they will be looking at the floor.The problem of having notes,and trying to talk from notes,often is a big problem. 3 The best way to avoid this problem is to use images and few words for notes instead of sentences.The image should help communicate the point you want to make.Writing a few words with the image on your slide helps you remember that point.Then you can look at the audience while speaking. 4 When you practice,remember these important tips:Be aware of your posture,eye contact,and gestures. 5 Then step by step,you’ll become an excellent speaker.
A.So they usually have eye contact with the audience.
B.So they have trouble with eye contact.
C.An important part of public speaking is practice.
D.New public speakers know that they should look at the audience while they speak.
E.A presenter does not need to stand perfectly still.
F.Improve your public speaking with body language.
G.Look for opportunities to speak and gain more confidence.

If you are trying to achieve big goals in your life and work,the chances are that,from time to time,you hit rock bottom.Nothing works,nothing goes right,and nothing succeeds.At times like these,you may feel like throwing in the towel.But before you do,read the following story.It might just change your mind.
One day,a small business owner decided he’d had enough.Enough of the endless work,enough of the lack of response,enough of the disturbing loneliness.
He went into the woods to have one last talk to the wise man.“Mr.wise man,” he said.“Can you give me one good reason why I shouldn’t give up?”
The answer took him by surprise.“Look around you,” the wise man said.“Do you see the fern(蕨类植物)and the bamboo?”
“Yes,”the man replied.
“When I planted the fern and the bamboo,I took very good care of them.I gave them both equal amounts of food and water.I gave them sunlight in spring and protected them from the storms in autumn.The fern quickly grew from the earth.Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed.But I did not give up on the bamboo.In the second year,the fern grew even better than before but nothing came from the bamboo seed.But I did not give up on the bamboo.In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed.But I would not give up.In year four,again,there was nothing from the bamboo seed.Still I would not give up.Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout(芽)came out from the earth.Compared to the fern it was seemingly small.But day by day the sprout grew.Within six months,the sprout had risen to a height of 100 feet.It had spent the five years growing roots.Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive.”
“Did you know,young man,that all this time you have been struggling,you have been growing?Grow the roots that you need to produce your fruit.”
“Don’t compare yourself to others.All things have different purposes,and different journeys.The bamboo has a different purpose from the fern.Yet they both make the forest beautiful.Your time will come.You will rise high.”
The small business owner left the forest.And never went back.
If nothing seems like it is happening in your life,despite all the work you’re putting in,remember that you’re probably growing roots not fruit.Stick with it.One day not far from now,there’ll be a great harvest.

The new world of today introduced new threats that were not known in the previous generations:Internet predators(掠夺者).Often we do a lot of our researching,shopping,talking;just about everything online nowadays.New advancements in revolution come along with the unwanted attackers.There are people out there who gain pleasure from interrupting and taking from our peaceful lives what’s not rightfully theirs.But like with everything,there are indeed counteractive measures that can be set in place to fend off these predators from such damage.I’d like to introduce the Guardian Eye.
Within this program is a complex program which has several functions to create a safe atmosphere for whoever uses the computer.It has the ability to track and log every key stroke,every website that has ever been accessed,takes screenshots of web pages,blocks web pages according to content and even sends you messages via email once conspicuous(可疑的) activity has been reported and logged.Just think,you or your child could be browsing and searching through the Internet and inappropriate content pops up with several different windows.You try to click out of the windows but you accidentally click one which releases spyware,infecting your computer.Guardian Eye blocks unwanted content from popping up or appearing to the users,which I thought was extremely convenient.In this way there is not even the slightest temptation.
This product helps prevent damage from being done to your computer and worse,your identity.It’s quite the product and it offers a little version so you may try it out first.If you’d like the full package,it’s a once time fee 39.99 and can be installed on unlimited computers for your convenience.It’s a nice deal and I’m considering getting it again considering I do a lot of writing on various websites myself.
