Some young people have become disappointed with how commercialized Christmas has become. As a result, they try to break with established traditions. What do they do to get more out of Christmas?
Ways of celebrating
By booking a short holiday abroad they can escape winter weather. OK, so flying to warm countries is great for those who live in cold winter climates. But how do you celebrate Christmas when your year-round climate is warm, or even hot?
In California, Santa Claus arrives on a surfboard, wearing an unusual red wetsuit. As long as he comes bearing presents, Surfing Santa would probably be welcome anywhere.
In Australia, many young people enjoy the warm weather with a beach barbecue and cold beer. In recent years, Bondi Beach has become an attraction for overseas visitors to gather and celebrate. It’s not uncommon for numbers to reach 40,000 on Christmas day.
Gift giving
We all know the feeling: you receive the kind of gift that you wouldn’t choose for yourself in a million years. But you have to bear it pretending that you love your new present.
To avoid this experience, many people give gift vouchers（购物礼券）at Christmas. With this, the receivers can buy whatever they want.
Digital and electronic goods feature highly on many young people’s Christmas wish lists. Not surprisingly, then, the Guardian’s top gifts for modern young people are:
Apple’s iPad: The iPad is probably one of the hottest items of the year. However you look at it, almost everybody wants one.
Digital Cameras: Christmas is the perfect time to give this gift that can help you to catch those special seasonal memories. Digital cameras are not as expensive as they used to be, either. You can take a bargain for as little as $100.

How you calm yourself before giving a speech? Both modern research and centuries of experience from experienced public speakers suggest some practical advice.
小题1:_____
Know to whom you’ll be speaking, and learn as much about your audience as you can. The more you can anticipate the kind of reaction your listeners will have to your speech, the more comfortable you’ll be in delivering your message. Be audience-centered rather than speaker-centered.
小题2:_____
You will feel less nervous if you talk about something you are familiar with or have some personal experience of. Your comfort with the subject of the speech will be reflected in your delivery.
小题3:_____
The better prepared you are, the less anxiety you will experience. Being prepared means that you have researched your topic and practiced your speech several times before you deliver it.
小题4:_____
You are likely to feel the most anxious during the opening moments of your speech. Therefore, it is a good idea to have a clear plan for how you will start your speech. Being familiar with your introduction will help you feel more comfortable about the entire speech. If you know how you will end your speech, you will have a safe harbour in case you lose your place. If you need to end your speech ahead of time, a well-delivered conclusion can permit you to make a graceful exit.
小题5:_____
One of the symptoms(症状) of nervousness is a change in your breathing and heart rates. Nervous speakers tend to take short, shallow breaths. To help break the anxiety—reduce breathing pattern, consider taking a few slow deep breaths before you rise to speak. |

As the high school student, I like to talk with foreigners to practise my oral English but learn more about other cultures. There were two foreign teachers in our school in this term.

However, I sometime find they are not so interesting in what I say, and it’s hard for I to choose a suitable topic. I would like some advices about how to communicate proper with foreigners, and what topics to pick.. |
