2. READING COMPREHENSION: Lea el siguiente texto y conteste a las preguntas que siguen.
Generally, people are not born with the ability to be good at public speaking. Great speakers are
instinctive and inspired, but they also prepare well, learn performance technique, and draw heavily on
past experience to develop their capacity. Their “natural” ease when they give public talks is usually the
result of training their skills. You could learn to speak effectively in public by going on courses and
reading manuals. But there is no substitute for going out and doing it. If you dislike speaking in public,
then take every opportunity to do so. When you speak in public, almost all the aspects that constitute your
total image come under scrutiny. Your posture, body language, facial expression, use of voice and
appearance are relevant. The focus of attention is so immense that you can feel like your presentation is
examined through a microscope. The situation can be very stressful, because the speaker is being
observed and judged by others. Small habits, like speaking too quietly or clearing your throat, which are
not particularly perceptible in everyday communication, become exaggerated in front of an audience.

(c) are born with the capacity to speak in public

(a) taking a course on public speaking
(c) reading manuals on public talks
(b) getting as much practice as possible
(d) not speaking in public unless we’re well prepared

(a) make use of past talks
(b) repeat their talks like actors
(c) forget mistakes from the past
(d) practice a lot
