Have you ever seen Korean writing before? In many people’s eyes, it 1.l      lovely but difficult. Do you know the2.h_________of the special letters?

Long ago, Korean people didn’t 3.o     their letters. At that time, they used Chinese characters(字符). Because Chinese is hard to learn, only rich people had the4.m     and time to ask teachers to teach them. One of their kings was called Sejong. He decided to5.i_________ Korean Letters. He thought hard.

One day, on 6.O________ 9, 1446, he looked at a window frame(框架)and shouted, “I know what our letters should be!” He was so excited that he cried it loudly. He got the7.i    from the frame and invented letters of all the same size. It seemed that they were put in a window frame. The  earliest Korean letters were born. King Sejong said, “Chinese characters can’t express Korean  meanings. Now I invent 8.o_________ own letters. These letters are very 9.e_________ to learn. I hope that they can help all people learn to read.”

When King Sejong first invented the Korean letters, they had 28 letters, but only 24 are used today. All the Korean people enjoy 10.u     their own letters. Some Chinese young people think they’re interesting.

 

To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor; you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasant voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear.
Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he doesn’t sit still before his class; he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings.
There are very important differences between the teacher’s work and the actor’s.
The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand(预先).What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage. A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience take an active part in his play: they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don’t understand anything, they say so. The teacher can’t learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.
I have known many teachers who are fine actors in class but are unable to take part in a stage-play because they can’t keep strictly to what another has written.

Everyone has got two personalities（性格）-the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control your behavior, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their positions. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.
If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don’t like to displease people. So you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t quite sure of yourself.
If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you’re always easily upset. You always stick to your own opinions or judgment, but you don’t raise your hopes too much. You usually live for today not tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.
If you sleep curled up（蜷缩）, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you’re often defensive. You’re shy and you don’t normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You’re easily hurt.
If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well—balanced（平衡的） personality. You know your strengths and weakness. You’re usually careful. You believe in yourself. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don’t often get sad. You always say what you think even if it makes people rather angry

左栏是五个人关于演讲的问题，右栏是七个关于演讲的建议。请将这五个人与对应的建议配对

1.I don’t think I can talk fluently because it’s difficult for me to remember all the words. 2.When I come face to face with the audience, where should my eyes fall upon? Do I have to look front, or look around from time to time? 3.When I am talking, I can’t help waving my hands, for I think it can help me express what I want to say better. But my classmates say I look funny and foolish by doing this . 4.I know that it’s not right to speak fast. But I am afraid that I can’t finish my talk in the given time if I speak slowly. 5.Should I talk in American English or British English?

A．Look at the audience (观众) . Looking at and talking to one person in the audience helps keep you natural, but it feels foolish talking to only one person. Speak to that person as long as 15 seconds and then change another one. B．Don’t speak too fast! The audience have a hard time understanding what they hear. They need your help. Slow down, pause(停顿) and guide the audience through your talk. Remember that you should help the audience understand what you are saying. C．Low your voice! Make your voice a little lower than normal. Listeners like to a relatively(相对) deep voice. D．Talk but not recite(背诵) . When you talk, try to be as natural as possible. Don’t try to memorize your words and read or recite them to your audience. You can use short notes to help you remember the important points. E. Use simple words. You should know you and most of the people you talk to are different in many ways . Some of them may not know what you are talking about. Then speak to them on their languages. F. Word works! Concentrate on what you want to say. If you are always paying attention to gestures(手势). G. English has no differences. It’s true that there are some differences between American English and British English, but they’ll not cause much difficulty for listeners, so just speak the way you’re used to.
