According to several recent surveys, some people fear public speaking more than anything else. 16 , this fear can be overcome (克服) with two simple methods: practice and using positive (正面的) energy from the audience. Practicing for a speech is essential. 17 the task of writing the speech is complete, speakers must practice, practice, practice. The more times they practice the speech, the more 18 they are discussing the topic. Using 19 such as mirrors or video recordings as they practice can show speakers what they look and sound like to the audience. Video is particularly helpful as it can be 20 many times, with the presenters focusing (集中) on one part at a time. Another 21 of dealing with public speaking fears is using the audience’s positive energy. Speakers need to remember that the audience wants them to 22 . Something as basic as a small nod or a smile from a member of the audience should give 23 to the presenters behind the podium. While it is easy for nervous speakers to focus only on getting through the presentation, using the audience's 24 will (意愿) helps much in making a speech better.

All in all, these two strategies are sure to help with fear of public speaking. With proper practice and audience empathy (共鸣), it is 25 to overcome the fear of public speaking and deliver a successful speech. So there is no need to fear public speaking any more.
