　　Part B: Listening Comprehension

　　Questions 1 to 5

　　(Man) I'm really scared about this talk I've got to give next week. Do you think you could help me? You've had loads more experience of that kind of thing than I have.

　　(Woman) Yes, yeah, sure. If I can help, I will. What's it about and why have you got to give a talk, anyway?

　　(Man) Well, I've applied for this job. You see, it's with an advertising company and they've asked all the applicants to give a talk as part of the selection process. I do want the job, so I've got to try and do something good.

　　(Woman) Well, what've you got to talk about?

　　(Man) We can choose our own subject. I think that makes it harder. We just have to talk for twenty minutes. And we can use an overhead projector if we want.

　　(Woman) Right, then the first thing to do is to decide what you're going to talk about. Pick something that you feel strongly about. That'll make it easier for you to sound enthusiastic and interested yourself which is very important if you want to hold your audience's attention.

　　(Man) So how on earth do I manage to sound enthusiastic and interested when I'm feeling scared out of my mind?

　　(Woman) Well, I suppose the first to do is to prepare your talk well so that you know exactly what you want to say and in what order. Don't just read a script, that's very dull for the listeners. Talk from brief notes—you can write them on cards, perhaps—so that it sounds a bit more spontaneous than reading a prepared script and your eyes are free to make contact with the audience. If you feel really scared just before the talk, take ten deep breaths; that should be enough to calm you down. If it's not enough, I once heard someone suggest imagining the audience with no clothes on. But I've never tried that myself. I don't know if it'd work or not!

　　(Man) Anything else about how I should speak? I mean, slowly or fast?

　　(Woman) Well, you must talk clearly of course and not too fast, though, mind you, a bit of variety of pace is a good idea. It's also important that your voice goes up and down and doesn't sound too flat; you don't want them to fall asleep while you're talking. And it goes without saying that you must project your voice well—you know how irritating it can be if you have to strain to hear someone speak.

　　(Man) It certainly. And what about the overhead projector? Do you think I should use it?

　　(Woman) Well, yes, do. Carefully prepared overhead projector transparencies will make you feel more confident and will help your audience to understand the points you're making. Any visual aids you use will interest the audience and will provide some welcome variety to your presentation. Perhaps you could take something else with you to illustrate your talk too?

　　(Man) I'll think about that—once I've made up my mind about what I'm going to talk about! What about the talk itself? Any tips there?

　　(Woman) Well, it's difficult when you don't know what you've going to talk about yet but I suppose some things are relevant whatever the subject. Make sure you get off to a good start. Outline for your audience what you're planning to talk about. Also try to say something interesting or amusing or striking in some way at the very outset so that you capture their attention at the start. Then it's almost as important to finish on a high with a clear and memorable conclusion. In other words, remember that first and last impressions are particularly significant.

　　(Man) And what about the middle?

　　(Woman) Well, the middle part of what you say can take care of itself in a way. Just remember make the structure and point of what you're saying obvious to the audience. Don't be afraid to rephrase and summarize your main points to make sure you get them across. But make it enjoyable for the audience too by being amusing, if appropriate, or by, perhaps, illustrating points you make with an anecdote or an analogy. Something that is too abstract and theoretical can be a bit tedious to listen to for too long. Anyway we can discuss that more when you've got your subject chosen.

　　(Man) Yes, when I'm a bit more prepared would you listen to me having a go at it and give me more advice?

　　(Woman) Course, I will. Oh, it'd be great if you get that job!
