Common public speaking problems
The use of “I feel”, “I think” and “maybe”
In the question-and-answer session of the speaking competition, many contestants began their answers with uncertain expressions like “I feel”, “I guess”, “I hear”, “maybe” and “perhaps”. These words show that the person is only speaking from his or her point of view
Work on keeping your answers brief and to the point Instead of the empty-sounding “I guess”, using facts, together with a clear conclusion based on those facts, is far more likely to be popular with an audience.
Using only one speaking style
“Don't stick to the same tone For example, when they spoke about their dreams some sounded romatic. Others used humor. Very few used several different styles together. Try mixing more than one style, rather than just sticking with the same one.
Irresponsible answers
Public speaking is different from personal conversations. You're responsible for your wordsSo you should think twice before you talk. Don't belike the student who, when asked about his opinion on book piracy（盗版）, started by saying he supported it.
Talking around the topic rather than directly answering it
You should focus on one point and give a clear solution. The key is to work out what question is being asked. Is it asking you to discuss a certain topic or to present your own point of view?
Use one or two arguments together and give a strong conclusion
A. It can be boring. Try to mix it up.
B. Also work on delivering them with calmness and confidence.
C. Even though you want to answer quickly, you don't want to sound foolish.
D. This lacks the support of facts and seems not to be reliable for the judges and audience.
E. Remember that judges are not judging you on whether they agree, but on your ability to say what you think clearly.
F. Confidence is extremely important in public speaking as it lets a speaker sound more convincing.
G. Deliberate gestures and affected（做作的）expressions of feelings are improper in a successful speech.

There is an English saying that goes, "he who laughs last, laughs the hardest." High School Musical star Zac Efron is laughing a lot these days.
{#blank#}1{#/blank#} Because he was always the smallest in his class and was laughed at because he had a big space between his teeth. In sixth grade, Efron's basketball team made it to be the league championship. In overtime, with three seconds left, he rebounded the ball and passed it to the wrong team! {#blank#}2{#/blank#}
{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Now Efron is one of People Magazine's 100 Most Beautiful People, graces (增加光彩) the cover of Entertainment Weekly, Hollywood's most influential magazine, and is traveling the world promoting the third High School Musical film. Director Adam Shankman described Efron as "arguably the biggest teen star in America right now." Simply google "Zac Efron", and you get more than 14 million responses.

Efron was born and raised in California. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} According to Efron, "he would flip out (发疯) if he got a B and not an A in school, and that he was a class clown." It was his father who encouraged him to act. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} He also took singing lessons. He graduated from high school in 2006 and was accepted at the University of Southern California to study film. But he put it off—why study movies when you can star in them?
