2. Know the pacing（速度定位） and inflection（音
调变化） you want to use.
3. Keep your shoulders straight but in a comfortable
way either you’re in a standing or sitting position.
4. If there’s a microphone in front of you, adjust it to
the right height, or ask a technician to do it, rather
than forcing yourself to stoop like a heron.
