Question

   A. the specialist stopped me

   B. other people understood what I was saying

   C. when you are in an interview for a job

   D. she told me that I spoke too fast

   E. it is never too late to improve My teachers suggested that I see a speech specialist (专家) in school.

I never really gave much thought to my speech. If (26)         ， then that was good enough. I didn't mind repeating myself many times.

Before testing me,the speech specialist asked me what I thought of having good speech. I told her I thought it was not important.

"Well, (27)         ， and they don't know what you are saying,what are they going to say to you? Nice meeting you? Bye?" she said.

Maybe good speech was important. I took part in 20-minute classes each week with the specialist.

After she tested me (28)         ， and didn't give enough eye contact (眼神交流) .I learned that when I made eye contact with someone,it meant that I was talking to that person,and I could also see what he or she thought about what I was saying.

When my first speech class started,I found that I had been speaking too fast to be understood. Every time I spoke too fast,(29)        and told me to start again. At first,I got stopped after almost every other sentence. After a while,I felt my speech slow down. I wasn't sure if people could understand me better,but my friends stopped asking me to repeat myself.

Speech is an important skill to have.  If you do have good speech,that's a good thing,but if you don't have it(30)         .
