18、y, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. Its nothing personal.

At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately, the moments are usually not obvious to the listeners. Why? Because
34、 the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any wiser. When such moments occur, dont worry about them.
35、 Just continue as if nothing happened.Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesnt really matter. If you have ever listen to Martin Luther Kings famous speech“I Have a dream”, you may notice that he stumbles(结巴) his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you dont
36、 remember. Why? Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making. People care a lot about making mistakes in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication(交流). They feel the listeners are like j
37、udges in an ice-skating competition. But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a period performance. They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that expresses the speakers ideas clearly and directly. Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speakers attractiveness by making him m
