How to prepare a lecture

Being invited to give a lecture is an honor．It means that people regard you as an authority on a given field, subject, or issue．It means you are worth listening to．1.   You have to make sure your lecture is interesting, and full of wisdom, from which the audience can take valuable insights．This is why it is important for you to prepare your lecture well．

1．Think of a good topic．

You most likely will be assigned to talk about a certain topic．If that's the case, you only need to make an outline and do some research．But in some cases, you will have to think of your own topic．Although it gives you more freedom to do it, thinking of a topic can be tricky．2.   Or pick a topic that is timely and socially relevant．

2．Make an outline for the lecture．

Start by listing down the points that you will discuss, and then fill in each point with subpoints．If necessary, make a research about your topic．3.   But if in so doing you end up with a very long outline, figure how you can shorten the topic or cut where cutting is needed．

3．4.  

Statistics, figures, medical information, historical accounts, and similar information should all be checked and it will save your credibility as an authority on the subject you are talking about．

4．Add humor．

Don't engage your audience in a dragging soliloquy （獨白）．5.   Humor will interest your audience．Of course, make sure the elements in your lecture are in line with your main topic and are not nonsense, racial, and offensive jokes．

A．Check your lecture for accuracy．

B．Giving a lecture is challenging, though．

C．If necessary, provide your contact information, such as an email address or blog site．

D．Instead, make your audience smile, or burst into laughter at certain points in your discussion．

E．To make it easier, consider what will interest your audience．

F．It should summarize your whole talk in one sentence．

G．Don't be afraid of exploring the topic, as this will allow you to discover other points that need discussion．

試題分析：如何準備一個演講？被邀請來演講是一種榮譽。你必須確保你的演講很有趣，充滿智慧，觀眾從中可以采取的有價值的見解。所以準備好你的演講很重要。1.想一個好的話題；2.做演講的提綱；3.檢查你的演講的準確性；4.增加些幽默。

1.考查上下文的語境理解能力。根據(jù)后面提到的你必須確保你的演講很有趣，充滿智慧，觀眾從中可以采取的有價值的見解�？芍�，選B（不過，演講是具有挑戰(zhàn)性的。） 。

2.考查上下文的語境理解能力。根據(jù)本段中心是選擇一個好的話題和空后的解釋，選擇一個及時和社會有關的話題，可知選E（ 說得再簡單些，就是考慮什么會吸引你的觀眾。）。

3.考查上下文的語境理解能力。空前提到：有必要時，可以做一些研究，與G項（不害怕探索的主題，因為這會讓你發(fā)現(xiàn)其他需要討論的要點。）意思一致。

4.考查上下文的語境理解能力。空后面的內(nèi)容講到：統(tǒng)計，數(shù)據(jù)，醫(yī)療信息，歷史記載，和類似的信息，都應該被檢查，這將節(jié)省你的可信度你談論的權威。所以本段的中心是A（檢查你講座的準確性。）。

5.考查上下文的語境理解能力。根據(jù)本段的中心內(nèi)容是增加幽默的成分，空前提到：不要讓觀眾覺得你一個人在那里說，與D(相反，在討論中的某一點時讓你的觀眾微笑或大笑。) 意思一致。

考點：信息匹配。
