I wele this opportunity to be here today, with an Organization which in many ways belongs to all of us workers. I can think of, in fact, no other international body that one can claim as ones own so unambiguously.I have also had a longstanding formal association with the ILO. Many of my early pieces on women and technological change and on land rights were published by the ILO, as well as was the work of many other scholars. It is therefore a pleasure for me to be here on this important Symposium.The canvas of the Symposium is very large. I will focus on two aspects of gender inequality that centrally effect millions of women as workers but perhaps have failed to receive the attention they deserve. First, the gender gap in mand over property and Productive assets and, second, gender biased social perceptions and social norms.Sample 2I learned last May that you have to be careful in speaking to a group of professional municators. After I conducted a writer s workshop at the Toronto Conference of the International Association of Business municators, Janine Lichaczwrote asked me to speak here tonight and used the munication techniques I had remended. She even included a footnote citing my lecture. I am susceptible to good munication and to flattery so I am pleased to be with you to discuss your topic for the evening, the use of language in the art of speech writing.I suppose we must begin by shaking our heads, woefully, over the sad state of language today, whether in formal speeches, casual conversation, or in writing. Most of us in this room no doubt agree with the generally negative tone of Time Magazines year-end assessment which claims “our language has been besieged by vulgarities”. But to preserve our sanity as professionals in munication of us would probably join Time in optimistically expecting English somehow to survive and even to prosper.Expressions on Other OccasionsCorrecting the Title of the PresentationFirst of all, I would like to mention that the title of my presentation should be .Please allow me to correct a mistake in the title of my speech which appeared in the program.

He apologizes for not being able to e here.The next speaker, Prof. Zhang, regrets that she could not be here and has submitted her paper to me. I am not sure if I can present it as well as she expected.I am not sure whether I 11 be able to be very confident in answering specific questions. However, I am somewhat familiar with his work, so I 11 try my best.Checking the MicrophoneFirst I want to check if all of you can hear me clearly.Am I speaking clearly and loudly enough for those in the rear of the room?I wonder if those in the rear of the room can hear me.If those in the rear of the room can hear me, would someone please raise his hand?Can you hear me clearly?Can you hear me if I am away from the microphone?Is the microphone working?* Summary-How to Prepare a Good IntroductionRealize file great importance of the introduction of file presentation mad then do your best in delivering it.Don t make file introduction either too wordy, or too brief.
