Fortunately, such moments are usually not obvious to the listeners. Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or fet to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser. When such moments occur, don’t worry about them. Just continue as if nothing happened. Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesn’t r eally matter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther King’s famous speech — “I Have a Dream”, you may notice that he stumbles over his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you don’t remember. Why? Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speechmaking. People care a lot about making a mistake in a speech because they regard speechmaking as a kind of performance rather than as an act of munication. They feel the listeners are like judges in an iceskating petition. But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performance. They are looking for a wellthoughtout speech that expresses the speaker’s ideas clearly and directly. Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speaker’s attractiveness by making them more human. As you work on your speech, don’t worry about being perfect. Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely. 68. The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one will .
