Many people have a fear of public speaking. They try to avoid public speaking because they worry that they will lose their words, bore the audience or somehow make a fool of themselves. You may give a talk in a class or a meeting. Or you'll give a toast (敬酒) at a wedding. Maybe you'll have to give an acceptance speech for some honor you've received. Follow these steps to satisfy your audience and get rid of your fear of speaking in public.
Know your topic. Try to speak about a subject you know well. Public speaking is harder when you look like an outsider.
Relax. Your audience don't expect you to be. They want you to succeed just as much as you can do. Get rid of nervousness by giving up all your anxious thoughts. If you're thinking you'll forget everything, remind (提醒) yourself that you are prepared.
You are not Jack Canfield or Tony Robbins. So, don't try to copy what you think a public speaker should be. Share your true personality with your audience. Don't pretend to be somebody that you're not.

B. Know who you will speak to.
C. Don't push yourself to be perfect.
D. Everyone has to speak publicly at some point in their life.
E. Research into the topic to make sure that you fully understand the details of it.
F. What's the most important is that you have to be prepared for what you are going to say.
G. You'd better base your speech on 2 or 3 main points and pay attention to these main points.

Tornadoes are one of nature's most (power) and destructive (破坏性的) forces. Here's some information on what a tornado is, how to prepare for one, and what to do if you (catch) in it.
A tornado is a violently rotating (旋转的) column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground. It's often foreseen by a dark, greenish
sky. Black storm clouds gather. A funnel (漏斗) (sudden) appears, falling from a cloud. The funnel hits the ground and roars forward with a terrible sound. The tornado tears up everything in its path.
Tornadoes can be deadly, but there are steps you can take (reduce) the risk to you and your family. Here are some useful (tip) to keep in mind:
• Prepare for tornadoes by gathering emergency supplies, (include) food, water, medicines, batteries, flashlights, road maps, etc.
• When a tornado (approach), anyone in its path should take shelter indoors — preferably in a basement or first-floor room or hallway.
• Avoid windows seek additional protection by getting underneath large, solid pieces of furniture.
• Avoid automobiles and mobile homes, provide almost no protection from tornadoes.
• Those caught outside should lie flat in a depression or on other low ground and wait the storm to pass.
