Dear ninth-graders,
This week, you are taking a number of important tests. But there is something (important) that you need to know. These tests can't measure(衡量) all the things make you wonderful and special. Your (result) from these tests will not tell you everything.
There (be) not any tests to measure how kind you are to your friends, or how much you love to draw. people who mark(评分) the tests don't know how helpful you are to your mum and dad, or how caring you are when playing others in the playground. They don't know how (brave) you share your weekend stories with your friends, or your performance in sports, music and art. Besides, these tests can't measure how much you (improve) on something, or how much you love a certain subject. There is no test for these things!
We hope you can know about these and try ( you ) best. Be yourself always remember that there is no test in the world that can measure all the wonderful things that make you YOU!
From,
Sophia, James, Christine and Vivian

A. Join a support group (支持小组). B. Change how you make sounds. C. Record and listen to your voice. E. Sing along with your favorite songs. D. Be open about your stutter (口吃). |
Not being able to speak clearly can make you feel bad about yourself. But remember, you're not alone - more than 80 million people around the world stutter. Here are some tips to help you improve your speech.
Practice speaking slowly.
Spend 5 to 10 minutes each day practicing slow speech, either by yourself or with someone who can help. Choose a topic you know well, and then talk about it without using notes. This practice helps you get used to thinking before you speak, just like in real conversations.

Did you know that more than 100 muscles (肌肉) in your mouth help you talk? Since there are so many muscles involved, there are lots of ways to make a sound. If one way isn't working, try another.

Another idea is to record yourself while reading aloud. Many people don't like listening to their recorded voice. But if you can do that, you'll be able to find out what sounds you're having problems with, so you know what you need to practice.

Telling people you stutter before you talk to them for the first time might sound like your worst nightmare (噩梦) come true, but it can really help if you get nervous talking to people. Telling them about your stutter frees you from worrying about what they might think if you happen to stutter during the conversation.

Sometimes you find the greatest help just from talking to someone else who's going through the same thing as you. You can understand each other and also share tips and speech exercises that have worked for you.
