参考答案

Speaking in front of the public is a very important communicating skill that one must have.

The first suggestion I would give to my friend is to try to join more clubs and social events. By starting off with something relatively easy, it may help him to ease into the situation. If he or she actively participate in those events, chances are he will need to communicate with others and exchanging ideas, this can help make him get comfortable sharing and talking to others.

Another thing is to try to watch celebrities when the deliver a speech. Imitation can be a great way for starters when they need to go on a stage talking about something publicly. She can take advantage of looking into others how they do this, and figure out which is the best way for him to do so.

参考答案

While I do enjoy taking photos and going to tourist attractions, I am not a big fan of using them to commemorate this trip.

For one thing, the best experience always happen during the journey, whether you see the breathing taking view on your trip to Tibet, or meet up with the local monks who lecture you about the essence of life. These moment aren’t something that can be recreated by simply looking into some photos.

Another thing is that, the collection of entrance tickets isn’t something that worth my time and energy. You don’t have to take out those tickets to prove you have been to somewhere, all you been through is up in you mind which can never be stolen.
