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:能給我一些建議嗎?你非常擅長做簡報,而我并不在行。我在哪些方面可以改進呢?
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,你需要改變你的態度。做一次很棒的簡報意味著你看上去要很有自信,并且樂在其中。
Ella: I'll try.
艾拉:我會試試看。
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:讓自己更有自信的一個方法就是練習,練習,再練習。我一開始是對著鏡子里的自己做簡報。再后來,我讓一個朋友來看并給我一些反饋。
Ella: Those are both good ideas, though I think I might feel silly!
艾拉:這兩個主意都不錯,雖說我想我可能會感覺有點傻!
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,你那樣做一次,以后就會感覺正常了。如果你還是緊張,你可以試著想象房間中的每個人都是你的密友。
