Lesson 8. Some Useful Advice to a Speaker
-
Before you begin writing your paper think about two things:
your purpose and your audience.
2. Regardless of your topic you should take into consideration the audience’s background (фоновые знания, квалификация) and the range (диапазон) of their knowledge in this particular field.
-
Don't try to cover too wide a field in your talk: one main idea consistently and methodically developed will ensure the understanding and appreciation of the audience. (последовательно и методично развивается, обеспечит понимание и оценку аудитории.) Arrange (упорядочить) your arguments so as to support this main idea.
4. There are two ways of delivering your speech (Существует два способа передачи вашей речи): talking or reading. If you decided on the first way, a previously prepared outline or notes (наброски или заметки) on the cards will be good guides during your presentation. They will help you to keep the order of points and not forget something important. You may also write down your speech word for word (слово в слово) but don't try to learn it by heart. Instead, practice delivering (представлять, предоставлять) the information the speech contains in parts. After that go over the entire speech until you can speak freely.
-
If you read the text, make the rhythm and pace (ритм и темп) of your talk closer to those of natural speech. To keep up contact with the audience don't forget to look up regularly.
6. Emphasize the most important points, changing the tone and rate (скорость) of your speech and making deliberate pauses (преднамеренные паузы). This will help you to hold the attention of the audience.
-
You ought to remember that your listeners don't have the opportunity to come back to what has been already said. They can't stop at a puzzling (приводящий в замешательство) idea and think it over. For this reason, don't neglect (принебрегайте) repetition, specifications, internal summaries, etc. (повторение, уточнения, краткие выводы)
-
If your speech exceeds (превышает) the time allowed, don't be tempted (не поддавайтесь искушению) to speed up your delivery (выступление). Think over in advance which parts of the text can be left out (опустить).
-
You are to talk to the audience as if you were talking to a group of your very good friends. Make your listeners feel that you are talking to each other individually.
{From "American English for Everyday and Academic Use")

How to Write a Report (доклад, отчет, сообщение)
1 Reports can serve a wide variety of purposes and so have a number of different formats. Most written reports, however, follow the same basic pattern(шаблон), regardless of the subject or aim. This pattern is:
-
the preliminary page; Титульная, предварительная страница
-
the introduction;
-
the body of the report;
-
the conclusion, recommendations or main findings;
-
acknowledgements; ссылки, подтверждение
-
appendix. Приложение
Before your report itself starts, you need to provide certain information, and this should be done in the preliminary pages. These pages should be:
a) The title page, which gives the title of the report, the date it was written and distribution. (рассылка, распределение)
b) A summary. (резюме, краткое изложение) If the report is a long one, it is a good idea to provide a brief summary (no more than 150 words), giving the gist (суть) of what the report contains, and the main conclusions, recommendations.
c) A table of contents.(оглавление) This is also only necessary if the report is a long one and should be on the page itself. In it you should list the major headings (заголовки)and the pages on which they appear.
In your introduction give the background (предпосылки) to the report itself:
-
why it is written;
-
what it is about;
-
who it is intended for;
-
the investigative (исследовательский) and other methods used.
The body of the report is the largest part. There you set out (излагать) all the relevant (соответствующий) information — what you have discovered during your investigation (исследования), the facts on which you base your arguments, the details that you have been asked to provide (предоставить). An analytical report should usually develop a logical argument, building up (перерастающими) to a conclusion or recommendations.
The conclusion, recommendations or main findings(основные выводы). In an investigative or analytical report, you may discover several possible solutions to the problem you have been investigating. You may, of course, only recommend one solution, but you should give all the possibilities in your conclusion, with their advantages and disadvantages. Your report is to contain both a conclusion and recommendations, then put them in two separate sections(части, разделы). Always give your reason for recommending a particular course of action (ход действий).
2. If you need to acknowledge (ссылки) the help of other people or if you have referred to their written work you need to separate acknowledgements section. If you have referred to publications then it is customary (обычно, общепринято) to give the following information:
-
in the case of books: the author, the title, the publisher, the year of publication;
-
in the case of magazine or journal articles: the author, the title of the article, the title of magazine or journal, the volume (том) and number (or date) of the particular issue, and the year of publication.
Make the body of your report as short and interesting as possible, so that you keep the readers attention. But sometimes it becomes of real importance to prove your solutions or investigation with long tables (таблицы) or something like this. So it's a good idea not only to mention just the main features in the report itself, but reproduce the tables in the appendix (приложение).
