问题     Today we are going to practice evaluating the main tool used when addressing groups — the voice. There are three main elements that combine to create either a positive or negative【B1】______for listeners. They can result in a voice that is【B2】______to listen to and can be used effectively, or they can create a voice that doesn’t hold the attention, or even worse, causes an【B3】______reaction. The three elements are volume, pitch and pace. When talking about volume,【B4】______that a good speaker will adjust to the size of both the room and the audience. Of course, with an 【B5】______device like a microphone, the speaker can use a natural tone. But a speaker should not【B6】______it. A good speaker can speak loudly without shouting. The second element — pitch — is related to the highness and lowness of the sounds. High pitches are for most people more difficult to listen to, so【B7】______a speaker should use the lower registers of the voice. During a presentation, it’s important to vary pitch to some extent in order to maintain interest.
    The third element, pace, this is how fast or slow words and sounds are【B8】______should also be varied. A slower pace can be used to emphasise important points, note that the time spent not speaking can be【B9】______too.
    Pauses ought to be used to signal transitions or create【B10】______. It can be very effective when moving from one topic to another because a pause gives the listener time to think about what was just said or even to predict what might come next.
【B10】
