Every day we go to school and listen to the teacher, and the teacher will ask us some questions. Sometimes,
the classmates will ask your opinions of the work of the class. When you are telling others in the class what
you have found out about these topics, remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying. You are
not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat with friends-you are in a slightly (稍微的) unnatural
situation where a large group of people will remain silent, waiting to hear what you have to say. You must speak
so that they can hear you-loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force
yourself.
Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your
school or a govemment official who might meet you. The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease
but the situation is somewhat different from that of an ordinary conversation. You must take special care that
you can be heard.
