大学英语作文：Speaking Effective American English说一口地道的美国英语

　　On job interviews when first conversing with an individual and when addressing small or large groups, the first few seconds are critical in setting the tone for how you'll be perceived.If she has an annoying regional accent, uses incorrect grammar, has a limited vocabulary, and if she has an irritatingly sharp piercing voice, sounds whiny or bossy or doesn't articulate her words clearly, it' s an immediate turn-off.This isn't someone who you would hire or proudly introduce to your friends and business associates.This doesn't mean that everyone should try to sound like a professional actor or broadcaster.All of us have qualities unique to our own way of speaking, our individual voiceprintas distinctive as our fingerprints.

　　求职面试时，当你与他人第一次交谈时或在与少数或许多人谈话时，开始的几秒钟是重要的，因为它决定了别人对你的印象。如果她有严重的地方口音、语法错漏百出、词汇量有限，如果她声音刺耳，听起来像与人抱怨或发号施令或者吐字不清，就会立即引起人的反感。你不会雇用这种人或把这种人自豪地介绍给你的朋友或同事。但这并不是说每个人说起话来要像专业演员或播音员那样标准。我们每个人说话都有自己独特的方式，我们各自的声音就像我们的指纹一样独特。
