Practicing for a speech is essential. _17_ the task of writing the speech is complete, speakers must practice, practice, practice. The more times they practice the speech, the more _18_ they are discussing the topic. Using _19_ such as mirrors or video recordings as they practice can show speakers what they look and sound like to the audience. Video is particularly helpful as it can be _20_ many times, with the presenters focusing (集中) on one part at a time. Another _21_ of dealing with public speaking fears is using the audiences positive energy. Speakers need to remember that the audience wants them to _22_. Something as basic as a small nod or a smile from a member of the audience should give _23_ to the presenters behind the podium. While it is easy for nervous speakers to focus only on getting through the presentation, using the audiences _24_ will (意愿) helps much in making a speech better. All in all, these two strategies are sure to help with fear of public speaking. With proper practice and audience empathy (共鸣), it is _25_ to overcome the fear of public speaking and deliver a successful speech. So there is no need to fear public speaking any more.16. A.
