   My teachers suggested that I see a speech specialist (專家) in school.

    I never really gave much thought to my speech. If other people understood what I was saying,then that was good enough. I didn't mind repeating myself many times.

Before testing me,the speech specialist asked me what I thought of having good speech. I told her I thought it was not important.

   “Well,when you are in an interview for a job,and they don't know what you are saying,what are they going to say to you? Nice to meet you,bye”’ she said.

    Maybe good speech was important. I took part in 20-minute classes each week with the specialist. After she tested me,she told me that I spoke too fast,and didn't give enough eye contact (眼神交 流). I learned that when I made eye contact with someone,it meant that I was talking to that person ,and I could also see what he or she thought about what I was saying.

   When my first speech class started,I found that I had been speaking too fast to be understood. Every time I spoke too fast,the specialist stopped me and told me to start again. At first,I got stopped after almost every other sentence. After a while,I felt my speech slow down. I wasn^ sure if people could understand me better,but my friends stopped asking me to repeat myself.

    Speech is an important skill to have. If you do have good speech,that's a good thing,but if you

don't have it,it is never too late to improve.
