M: To begin with, you should ask yourself a question, that is, what does your audience need and want? It's better to question yourself before the speech.
W: Why do we need to know their needs and wants?
M: If you are a public speaker, it is absolutely essential to know how to capture and maintain the interest of your audience, which means you have to know what they want to know and what they want to hear.
W: You mean we should pay special attention to the content of the speech, right?
M: Yes. If you elaborate on facts and figures that everyone is already familiar with, then it is quite possible that you will actually lose the attention of those who are listening to your presentation.
W: What should we do then?
M: Many successful speakers will summarize that part or add some different viewpoints to it. This is a good way to increase their level of understanding of the topic. If your audience cannot follow your speech, it's quite possible that they'll leave or doze off.
W: How about body language? I see many speakers use a lot of hand gestures.
M: Not only hand gestures, but also facial expression, body movement and even voice changes. It is always important to remember that sometimes, how you say something will have a larger impact than what you say.

Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers (青少年). But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. "The door to his room is always shut." Joanns noted.
Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. "She used to cuddle up (蜷伏) with me on the sofa and talk," said Mark. "Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something, Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is figuring out which time is which."
Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what's on their minds. "In fact, parents are first on the list." said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. "This completely changes during the teen years." Riera explained. "They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last."
Parents who know what's going on in their teenagers' byes are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should crate chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.
"The door to his room is always shut" suggests that the son ______.
A.is always busy with his studies
B.doesn't want to be disturbed
C.keeps himself away from his parents
D.begins to dislike his parents
