Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance
34. eight common mistakes people frequently make in front of an audience. Second is the
35. tendency of poorly prepared speakers who to 'wing it'. Next, don't rely entirely on a
36. speechwriter—who will inevitably lack of the personal touch, which is vital. Fouth,
37. face up to tough questions and give honest answers—candour is essential to leadership.
38. At least that sounding honest is no doubt very important. As is the fifth point:the need
39. to research in the audience:the talk must be pitched at the appropriate level. The sixth
40. point is that the need to anticipate the obvious first question, which nonetheless often
41. floors the most smartest of expels. One mistake that is surely well known to even the
42. lowliest junior is there is nothing worse than a speaker who doesn't know when he to sit
43. down. Accordingly, when time your speech beforehand, standing up and delivering it.
44. Finally to drop a witty comment or anecdote to loosen up the audience. Nothing is more
45. cringe-making than a joke that falls flat.

After a good 2003, will 2004 be better
The past year has been a good one for Southeast Asian stocks. Markets in both Singapore and the Philippines have risen by more than 30% in dollar terms; Indonesia has surged more than 70%; and tigerish Thailand has leapt by almost 130%. Investors, needless to say, are keen to know whether lightning will strike again in the same places in 2004. There is indeed something good in store: elections.
The gains of the past year are easy to explain. Indonesia, for one, has finally found its feet after years of chaos following the regional crisis in 1997. Inflation and interest rates are failing, and the economy has grown by around 4% in the past year.
Thailands economy, meanwhile, has been doing even better. It has grown at an annual rate of 6.5% in the year as a whole. Because of low interest rates, consumers have been wildly purchasing cars and houses, helping crisis-hit companies pay off their debts and thus improving the balance sheets of Thailands struggling banks.
Analysts tell similar tales of asset increase all around the region. Markus Rosgen, of ING, a Dutch bank, notes that Asians have been piling up deposits in their bank accounts since the crisis. With interest rates so low, he argues, they now have an incentive either to consume more or to put their savings into more lucrative investments. Either way, share prices should rise. Even now, ail Southeast Asian markets are still well below their pre-crisis highs. Moreover, points out Christopher Wood of CLSA, an investment bank, all Southeast Asian markets except Singapore serve as useful hedges against America, since they do not rise and fall with Wall Street.
Unexpected events might yet upset these rosy prospects. There will be elections in the Philippines and Indonesia in 2004, and probably in Malaysia, too. Thailand goes to the polls at the beginning of 2005. Economically corrupted governments, street protests or bombing campaigns are always a possibility. But the responsible leaders seem likely to get re-elected in all four countries. Furthermore, they will spend a lot of money in the process, out of both the state budget and their own pockets, giving their economies a further boost. As a recent report by ING points out, Indonesian stocks rose in the nm-up to all of the past three elections.

What is the logical order of the following paragraph? There are some differences, however. Whereas you will find more PCs in business offices, you will find more Macs in classrooms. Although Macs are the computers of choice of people who do a lot of art and graphic design in their work, PCs seem to be the choice of people who do a lot of “number crunching”. Finally, there is a difference in the availability of software, vendors, and service for the two computers. In general, there is a lot of PC-compatible software, but relatively little Mac software.
