How can you use your body to improve your speech
Before you can use your body effectively, you’ve got to start in the right state of mind.
If you want to deliver a calm speech your body has to convey calm; if you want to deliver an exciting speech you’ve got to be excited.A well prepared and warmed up voice and body create the whole message that you want to communicate.
How do you get into a good state of mind
There are different ways.Try carrying around notes with positive information on them.Have a message at the top of your notes that says “you’re fantastic” “brilliant” or “I love you”! And if you do have notes write “breathe” as a reminder.
Also, imagination can be very effective.Imagine what it’s going to be like; imagine the applause; imagine people nodding as you speak, coming up to you afterwards, tapping you on the shoulder and saying well done! All this helps.
What can people do to improve how they use their body
Eye contact with individual members of the audience is very important; take care to look around everyone, so that they all feel included.If you’re too nervous to look them in the eye, look at their forehead which will still make them feel involved.
Your feet need to be firmly and evenly placed on the ground because if you’re unbalanced it affects your breathing and will affect your projection.
What should you do with your hands when speaking
Let your gestures come naturally.You could start by letting your hands relax by your side unless you want to use them.Let them rest on a lectern(讲台) if there is one.If you have notes use one hand to hold them.Don’t put your hands in your pockets.
What else is important
It is essential to practice and fully warm up your speaking muscles.It’s said that Churchill said for every minute of a speech, you need to spend an hour practicing.And don’t just practice your words — practice your breathing, and exercise your tongue and your cheeks.

One of the most difficult things in the world is to change people’s minds.There are many reasons why false beliefs and bad ideas continue to live on, one of them is that people continue to talk about them.
Silence is death for any idea.An idea that is never spoken or written down dies with the person who conceived it.Ideas can only be remembered when they are repeated.They can only be believed when they are repeated.
I have already pointed out that people repeat ideas to signal they are part of the same social group.But here’s a crucial point most people miss:
People also repeat bad ideas when they complain about them.Before you can criticize an idea, you have to reference that idea.You end up repeating the ideas you’re hoping people will forget — but, of course, people can’t forget them because you keep talking about them.The more you repeat a bad idea, the more likely people are to believe it.
Let’s call this phenomenon Clear’s Law of Recurrence: The number of people who believe an idea is directly proportional (成比例的) to the number of times it has been repeated during the last year — even if the idea is false.
Each time you attack a bad idea, you are feeding the very monster you are trying to destroy.As one Twitter employee wrote, “Every time you retweet (转发) or quote tweet someone you’re angry with, it helps them.Hell for the ideas you condemn is silence.Have the discipline to give it to them.”
Your time is better spent championing good ideas than tearing down bad ones.Don’t waste time explaining why bad ideas are bad.You are simply fanning the flame of ignorance and stupidity.
The best thing that can happen to a bad idea is that it is forgotten.The best thing that can happen to a good idea is that it is shared.It makes me think of Tyler Cowen’s quote, “Spend as little time as possible talking about how other people are wrong.”
Feed the good ideas and let bad ideas die of starvation.
5.What does the underlined word “them” in the first paragraph refer to
A.Minds. B.Reasons.
C.Beliefs. D.Ideas.
6.What is the result of our criticizing a wrong idea according to the author
A.We will have our wish fulfilled. B.We won’t make any difference.
C.We’ll kill two birds with one stone. D.We’ll accomplish the very opposite.
7.What does Clear’s Law of Recurrence mainly reveal
A.The power of repetition. B.The lack of correct ideas.
C.Many people’s foolishness. D.The popularity of false beliefs.
8.What does the author advise us to do in the face of false beliefs
A.Try to ignore them. B.Attack them seriously.
C.Complain about them. D.Share them on social media.
