Applying the learned note-taking and vocal presentation skills to the preparation phase for the new motion. 将所学的笔记和语音表达技巧应用于新议题的准备阶段。

Specific Suggestions for Student's Needs 针对学生需求的具体建议

Pronunciation & Reading: 发音与阅读：

Focus on consistently controlling speech pace to avoid speeding up when nervous. Practice reading material aloud specifically focusing on maintaining a steady 'pace'. 重点关注有意识地控制语速，避免紧张时语速过快。练习朗读材料时，专门关注保持稳定的'语速'。

Speaking & Communication: 口语与交流：

Practice using natural pitch and volume variation (intonation) in everyday speech to counter monotone tendencies. 在日常对话中练习使用自然的音高和音量变化（语调），以对抗单调的倾向。

Debate Technique: 辩论技巧：

When converting statements to rhetorical questions, consciously test if the question requires an answer (e.g., replacing 'How much money do you have?' with 'Who wouldn't want a million dollars?'). 在将陈述转化为修辞性提问时，有意识地测试该问题是否需要回答（例如，用“谁会不想要一百万美元？”代替“你现在有多少钱？”）。

Recommended Supplementary Learning Resources or Homework 推荐的补充学习资源或家庭作业

Review notes on Pace, Volume, and Variation. Try to record yourself reading a short paragraph, aiming for clear projection and variation. 复习关于语速、音量和变化的笔记。尝试录制自己朗读一小段文字，目标是清晰的投射和变化。
