Our accommodation services are divided into our two areas of operation, one being the safe, modern accommodation for those studying during the academic year. The other one is the excellent summer accommodation for holiday or summer course visitors who are seeking what is a very special environment to stay in with every modern convenience but dipped in history and the atmosphere of one of Europe's oldest and most highly regarded universities.

Most of the population dislikes the experience and many find it fearful. What can you do? First of all remember the following information. Most of your audience would not want to trade places with you. They can't imagine how you do it. They are your allies and not your critics. They are just people like you. Second, don't make this more difficult than it needs to be. While it is good to have some eye contact with lots of people, you should try to begin by finding just one friendly face in the crowd. Pretend it's not public speaking and you are just having a conversation with that person. Now you can speak with your everyday voice and the sound equipment does the rest. So relax and talk normally. Third, have a sense of humor. Even the best of speakers has an embarrassing moment now and then. Don't take yourself too seriously. If you make a mistake it is not the end of the world. If you appropriately begin your talk with some humor, it helps to relax you and the audience as well. Fourth, there are many different kinds of public speaking. Some can be prepared and some are extempore(即兴的). If you have time to prepare then do it. Write the content well and practice ahead of time. Use a mirror and use a friend or two. If you have no time to practice at least get the key ideas clear in your mind before you begin. Lastly, transform your nerves into passion for your topic. If you have no energy, if you aren't a bit nervous your voice is flat and uninteresting. Public speaking isn't for everyone. However, it is a skill that can be developed.
