Topic (What is the text about?) |
Статья рассказывает о курсе, направленном на развитие уверенности в себе. |
|
Main Idea (What is the writer’s stance on the issue?) |
По мнению автора, данный курс существенно повышает не только личную самооценку, но и эффективность речевого взаимодействия. |
|
Major Details (How does the writer prove his stance?) |
Автор отмечает, что курс, направленный на развитие уверенности в себе, учит слушателей противостоять манипулированию, помогает участникам лучше понять самих себя, четче осознать свои цели, освоить язык жестов и исключить из своей речи слова и фразы, «подрывающие доверие» ко всему высказыванию и самому говорящему. По окончании курса слушатели лучше справляются со страхом и гневом, которые препятствуют эффективному речевому взаимодействию. Кроме того, курс способствует формированию правильного отношения к критике. |
|
Conclusion (Paraphrased main idea) |
В завершении автор подчеркивает, что хотя курс, направленный на развитие уверенности в себе, и не может считаться панацеей, он положительно влияет на самооценку слушателей и их речевые компетенции. |
