What is the best title for the passage? A. A Great Teacher B. Always Have A Dream C. Never Give up D. Kindness Makes Wonders C After coming to America, the use of “yes” and “no” brings me a lot of trouble, because the use in Korea (韩语) is a different from that in English. For example, if I am asked, “Havent you had dinner yet?” and I have not had dinner yet, then in Korean I usually say “Yes, I havent.” But in English, I have to say, “No, I havent.”Because of this, my friends often get the opposite meaning from what I want to give them. One day only a month after I came to America, I had dinner with an American student, Bob. He asked me some questions and I answered them sincerely. A few dyas later, I found some roommated thought that I came from North Korea. Ond day I stopped by Bobs room and asked why he was spreading the wrong information. “Oh, you told me that. Dont you remember?” he said, “When I asked you You are not from North Korea,are youyou clearly answered, Yes, of course. Did nt it mean that you are from North Korea?”The different use also causes problems between my friends and me. One weekend night, my roommate Mark brought his children into the dorm(宿舍). Them make some noise while playing. I didnt mind the noise since I I was just watching TV. The next morning, I met Mark. He asked me with a smile, “Didnt my children make noise last night? Didnt it make you uncomfortable?” Because I did not mind the noise at all, I clearly said “Yes!” The smile suddenly disappear from Marks face, and he said, “I am sorry about that. They are going right now. See you later.” I could not undestand what he was sorry about, and I just said, “OK. Bye!” After a moment of thinking, I realized how stupid I was. That evening, I explained to Mark and said sorry to him. I knew he thought that I had been very rude. Now to deal with this problem, I have set simple rules: First, take a five-second break if I am not sure of “yes” or “no”, Second, use “pardon me”, so the person may explain to me in a direct way. 41.

However, you can do something to make it success. First of all, you need to do something about your topic. For example, choose a topic about something you like, such as something that interests you or someone who is close to you. Once youve chosen your topic, try to find useful information about it online or from the library. As you do this, write down the information that supports your ideas in a valuable way. Rehearsing(排练) your speech is also important. For this, youd better write the script (讲稿) just like talking to your friends. Keep your script simple. Use interesting examples or stories to show your ideas. Once you finish your script, read it out loud to yourself and remember it. After that, write down 2 to 3 points that you may forget on a note card. Finally, you have to practice your speech in front of something or someone until you dont have to look at your note card. In the end, its time to give the speech. At this time, stand straight and hold your head high. This will show that youre confident. Show your listeners that youre excited by smiling before you begin and throughout the speech. Pause(停顿) after finishing a sentence, or after saying an important point. It will allow you time to collect your thoughts. If youre out of breath while speaking or if your words start running together, youre most probably speaking too fast.

Whats more, if you dont remember the next word or line, pause for one or two seconds to look at your note card. Before you begin speaking, take a deep breath, smile at your listeners, and then go on.
