四、完形填空。
Good afternoon, everyone! My name is Wang Li. I have taught English for ten years, and today I'd like to share some simple ways with you to improve your English speaking 1.
First, stay calm. 2 the teacher asks you a question, take a deep breath and think for a while. Do not rush. Second, remember the words you want to say. If
you forget one, try to use other words to 3 it. For example, if you cannot remember "kitchen", you can say "the room where we cook food". The listener will still understand.
It is also good to make short 4 before you speak. Write one or two key words on paper. These notes can help you make your ideas clearer. If you make a small mistake, do not stop. Keep talking and smile. Learning from mistakes can also help you 5 your knowledge. Pausing(暂停) is fine, but don't pause too long or too often. Before you answer, think 6, and give more than "yes" or "no". For example, if someone asks "Do you have any brothers 7 sisters?", you can say "Yes, I have one brother. He is twelve years old." If you need time, you can say "Let me think."
Finally, 8 practicing every day. Talk 9 to your mirror(镜子), your pet, or your best friend. The more you speak, the more 10 you'll make.
So, just remember, your voice is your power!
