Ella: Can I get some advice? You're really good at presentations and I'm lousy at them. What could I do better?
艾拉:能给我一些建议吗?你非常擅长做简报,而我并不在行。我在哪些方面可以改进呢?
Brad: First, you need to change your attitude. Giving a great presentation is about seeming confident and like you're having fun.
布拉德:首先,你需要改变你的态度。做一次很棒的简报意味着你看上去要很有自信,并且乐在其中。
Ella: I'll try.
艾拉:我会试试看。
Brad: A way to feel more confident is to practice, practice, practice. I start by giving the presentation to myself in the mirror. After that, I ask a friend to watch and give me feedback.
布拉德:让自己更有自信的一个方法就是练习,练习,再练习。我一开始是对着镜子里的自己做简报。再后来,我让一个朋友来看并给我一些反馈。
Ella: Those are both good ideas, though I think I might feel silly!
艾拉:这两个主意都不错,虽说我想我可能会感觉有点傻!
Brad: Trust me, after you do it once it will seem normal. If you are still nervous, you can try to imagine that everyone in the room is a close friend.
布拉德:相信我吧,你那样做一次,以后就会感觉正常了。如果你还是紧张,你可以试着想象房间中的每个人都是你的密友。
