Here are few simple ways you need to become both comfortable and effective at public speaking. Enhance your presentation skills and get a edge over your colleagues.

在公共场所讲话已成为几乎所有职业必不可少的一部分。无认你是职业营销人员，科学家，商人还是教师，你都必须面对听众，对某个话题进行陈述。对某些人而言，这是一件十分痛苦的事。据调查，有多达41%的人害怕在公众场合讲话。这里给大家讲几种你需要的方法，让你在公共场合讲话感觉舒服而且卓有有效。提升你的演讲技巧，让自己在同事中更胜一筹。

Ｍake your Audience Comfortable: 让听众感觉舒服

To impart any new information to a group you first have to make them comfortable. Control your physical anxiety. Nervous behaviour will make your audience disinterested in your talk. So it's important to stay calm and comfortable to get your audience attention. But don’t make them sleep.

向某个团体分享新的信息以前，首先得让他们感到舒服。请注意控制你的焦虑情绪。你的焦燥不安会让听众对你的讲演失去兴趣。因此，要让听众处在平静和舒适的状态之中，以吸引他们的注意力，但不要让他们睡着了。

Make Eye Contact: 眼神接触

Once you have got their attention, make eye contact with them. As eye contact is associated with telling the truth at least in western culture. It will prevent your audience attention being diverted and they will actually listen to what you are saying. Moreover you will know that who was sleeping during your presentation.

听众的注意力集中以后，演讲者要与听众进行眼神交流。西方文化认为，眼睛是不能说谎的，眼神接触可以防止听众转移注意力，专心致志地听你的演讲；另外，也能让你了解谁在你作报告的时候打磕睡。

The Power of Pause:稍作停顿

In order to let your audience understand what you are saying，learn to stop talking so that your audience can ingest what you last said，get a picture of it and put it into a context before moving on to what you say next. The pause is absolutely the most important thing you can do. You are here to present what you have，not to show your oral learning skills.

为了让听众明白你要讲的内容，要学会采用停顿的方式，给听众留一点时间，好让他们消化你刚才所讲的内容，将所讲的内容置于某个语境中，勾勒出所讲内容的轮廓。停顿绝对是你能做的最重要的事情。你到这里是要与听众分享你所知道的内容，而不是展示你的口才。

Body langugae:巧妙应用身体语言

Body language is a very important tool when you speak at public. People can judge you mental condition just by looking at you. Keep your shoulders straight which shows that you are confident，leaning down or pushing forward show under and over confidence respectively. Most importantly for men keep your hands out of your pocket, having hands in pockets limit the impact of what you are saying. Walk with grace，it adds charisma to your personality，besides a good presentation you might win some hearts.

身体语言是公共场所讲话的重要工具，人们通过你的身体语言能够了解你的精神状态。保持双肩平直，表明你充满自信；双肩向两侧或者向前倾斜，说明你缺乏自信或者过去自信。最最重要的是不要把手放在你的衣服或者裤子兜里．手放兜里会限制你所传达的内容的影响力。可以在台上优雅地走动，这会增添你的个人魅力，除了能够达到好的演讲效果以外，还能赢得一些人的心。

Gestures: 注意手势的使用

Avoid gestures such as pointing finger, hand on neck scratching hairs or making faces. It makes you look confused and in turn confuses your audience. Don't be confused as only you know if you are lying or not.

不要用手指着某人，也不要抓耳挠腮或者扮鬼脸，这些会让人觉得你有点犯迷糊，也会让听众感到困惑。

Podium: 如何利用讲台

Besides providing a place to stand，it works like a protection. Avoid leaning on it and don't just stick to it. Make movement to free yourself from gazing eyes. And you can always get some air while moving around.

讲台除了作演讲人员站立的平台，还具有保护作用。请不要将身体靠在讲台上，也不要紧贴着讲台。

Effective content: 言之有物

Have effective content in your presentation. Unnecessary history will only bore your audience and make them disinterested. It may also make you forget what you come here to present.

演讲一定要言之有物。不必要的内容会让听众厌烦，失去兴趣，可能还会让你忘了演讲的真正目的。

Humor:来点幽默

Adding humor to your presentation is like a cherry on top. No matter what topic you discuss a slight tinge of humor always make your presentation interesting and keep your audience from getting bored. But don't try to over do it and keep it related to your topic. Moreover it will help you overcome your anxiety and you will start enjoying what you present.

演讲中带点幽默，就像是在冰激凌上面放上樱桃，让人耳目一新。不管你谈论的是什么话题，幽默感会让你的演讲更加有趣，也使听众不会感觉无聊。但是，千万不要过火，你的幽默必须要与谈论的话题有关。另外，幽默能够使你克服不安情绪，开始享受演讲的过程。

In all the presentation regardless of the profession all these factors should be considered. Remeber your school time a teacher who is friendly and comfortable in class never made us to look at our watches waiting for the class to get over so we can go. Hopefully these tips will make you more comfortable in your next presentation.

无论哪种职业的演讲，都应该考虑以上这些因素。回忆一下自己上学时的感受：如果是一个友善而让人感觉舒服的老师在上课，我们绝不会不停地看表，老想着上课快点结束。希望这些小点子能够让你在下次演讲时感到舒服！
