　　Throughout history people have used public speaking as an important means of communication．What the Greek leader Pericles said more than 2,500 years ago is still true today：“One who forms a judgement on any point but cannot explain it clearly might as well never have thought at all on the subject．”It is not difficult to understand that public speaking, as its name implies, is a way of making your ideas public．

　　“But what does public speaking have to do with me if I do not want to be a professional public speaker?”you may think to yourself．However, the need for public speaking will almost certainly touch you sometime in your life－maybe tomorrow, maybe not for five years．Can you imagine how you would talk about some problems in front of a lot of people?The point is that public speaking is sure to be needed when some situations occur in your life．

　　Can you be good at public speaking the moment you realize that it is important?The problem is that many people who express themselves easily in all kinds of everyday situations become frightened at the idea of standing up before a group to make a speech．If you are worried about“stage fright”, you may feel better knowing that you are not alone．A survey made recently asked more than 2,500 Americans to list their greatest fears．The researchers were very surprised to learn that the largest number of people－41 percent－listed speaking before a group among their greatest fears．
