1. Eagerness to learn and "pay my dues" I am and I will

This is the job that I believe was made for me. I am available immediately and can offer you competence, dedication, and a good work ethic. If you don't mind, I will call you next week to see if a personal interview can be scheduled.

Thank you for your time and consideration, and I look forward to speaking with you next week.

Sincerely,

Nelly Nickleby

Введение (Introduction)

Любое выступление, тем более на иностранном языке, готовится заранее. Даже так называемый экспромт должен иметь свой «рояль в кустах», то есть определенную заготовку. В то же время мы хотим отка­заться от набивших оскомину «устных тем», которые заучиваются для экзаменов и имеют мало общего с процессом коммуникации. В данной части пособия, рассчитанной на владеющих английским языком в сред­ней степени, и умеющих понять несложный английский текст, предла­гается система работы в аудитории и дома над семью видами устных выступлений и презентаций (Автор благодарит Сюзан Райнхарт за пре­доставленную возможность использовать ряд отрывков из ее рукописи: Susan Reinhart. Academic Speaking Course Pack. ELI, University of Michi­gan, Ann Arbor, 1995). Итак:

It's a good idea to begin planning early for your presentation. You will have a total of seven speeches in class. Below is a list of speeches you will be assigned and the amount of time you have to present them.

AUDIENCE

Begin now to think of topics that you would like to select. Keep in mind who you are talking to: a general audience or a group of people from your area of studies.

TIME LIMIT

Keep in mind that there is a time limit on all the speeches you will give. At home you will need to time your speech to make sure that you won't be taking time away from another student.

If you have a good idea for a speech, but you know it will last at least 5 minutes or longer, use it as your mid-term or final speech.

SPEECHES
