The passage discusses effective listening skills. It notes that the human mind can process words faster than most speakers can speak, creating a gap that requires listeners to concentrate. It states that listening involves not just hearing but paying attention, observing, and interpreting. Effective listening is an interactive process that demonstrates interest in what the other person is saying. It can be cultivated by skills like prompting and persuading without interrupting. Barriers like physical hindrances or psychological biases must be removed for listening to be effective.

31. Read speech/manuscript
reading

and then reading it aloud. In the manuscript, speech the wording
should be planned very carefully as it should be appropriate for a
solemn and historic occasion with a big audience. This kind of
delivery, however, lacks naturalness and spontaneity and may even
result from a tendency to write a speech without any audience
adaptation. Besides, it includes a mechanical and monotonous
tone. It might not facilitate eye contact and conversational
delivery style.
32. 1. The manuscript should be typewritten, highlighted in
larger font, readable even if you are quite away from the
script.
2. For words you have difficulty in pronouncing, use phonetic
spelling, accent marks or IPA symbols to help you in your
pronunciation or even consult Mr. Webster.
3. Make marking the will help you determine pauses, places
of special emphasis, or places where to go to slow down
or speed up.
4. double-check that there will, in fact, be a lectern or
speakers stand upon which the manuscript can be placed.
