A
We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most
of us don’t do a very good job. This article gives some suggestions on how
to give an effective speech.
So, you have to give a speech
—
and you are terrified. You get nervous,
you forget what you want to say, you stumble over words, you talk too long,
and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank Goodness, it’s over.
I’m
just
not
good
at
public
speaking.
I
hope
I
never
have
to
do
that
again.”

Cheep up! It doesn’t hav
e to be that bad. Here are some simple steps
to
take
the
pain
out
of
speech
making.
Ask
yourself
the
purpose
of
your
speech.
What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as
you
can
on
your
subject.
Spend
plenty
of
your
time
doing
your
research.
Then
spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is
clear
and
easy
to
follow.
Use
as
many
examples
as
possible,
and
use
pictures,
charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly. Never
forget your
audience. Don’t
talk over their heads,
and don’t talk down to
them.
Treat
your
audience
with
respect.
They
will
appreciate
your
thoughtfulness.
Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the
occasion.
Be
brief.
Say
what
you
have
to
say
and
then
stop.
And
be
yourself.
Let
your
personality
come
through
so
that
you
make
person-to-person
contact
with your audience.
If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you don’t have to
be
afraid
of
public
speaking.
In
fact,
you
may
find
the
experience
so
enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You’re not convinced
yet? Give it a try and see what happens.

Theories of crime try to explain two quite different sides of the crime
problem: first, why certain forms of behavior are described by society as
crimes
and second, what the
causes
of criminal behavior are.

what
makes
up
of
criminal
behavior
have
varied
widely.
One
traditional
belief
is that the criminal code stands for God’s law and is independent of the
will of man. In contrast, there is the modern idea that the criminal law is
simply the instrument by which the ruling class maintains its power.
There
is
also
a
wide
variety
of
explanations
for
the
cause
of
crime.
There
is
the
theory
that
assumes
that
an
individual
choose
criminal
conduct
of
his
own free will and is therefore responsible for his actions. Other theories
describe the criminal more or less as a helpless individual in the grasp of
biological, psychological, or social forces beyond his reason or control.
Modern
studies
of
crime
often
depend
heavily
on
statistics
（
统计）
.
For
example,
burglaries are most associated with the poor areas of large cities.
But one thing is clear; it is that criminal behavior is connected with
a great number of social, psychological, economic, political, legal, and
moral factors. To search for the deciding factor of crime is a too simple
action.
