Finished abruptly and surprisingly with Russian. And changed over to French because of this person

She is in the middle of this picture of her bridesmaids. She made their outfits as well. So who is she marrying? and where is she?

1. Listen
We hear other people’s words, but how often do we listen to their content? A good response depends on it, and can provide part of your response, such as, “well, that’s a good observation, and I think you are right on target…” Resist the impulse to interject your own ideas before the other person finishes... focus instead on what is being said for three advantages:
a) Respect - people listen to you when you listen to them
b) Ready-made dialogue - you can incorporate what you hear into the reply
c) On-target responses - listening improves your chances of commenting on what you’ve heard
2. Pause
Take a few minutes to pause before speaking to refresh your thoughts and formulate an answer. It can also add drama to your reply. You can use the time just to think, or to smile, nod or otherwise indicate you’ve heard the question. Just don’t fill your pauses with verbal place holders like “um” or “ah”
3. Confirm
Confirming the question also helps you prepare a response. Repeat the question out loud to let your brain absorb the concept, verify the topic, and provide a clear idea of how to respond.
4. Tell
Once you have everyone’s attention, give your reply. Remember to stay focussed and tell only the essentials, but sound as if you know more than you are telling. Then go to the final step...
5. End
Once you have said what you want to say, bring your comments to a close. Emphasize your main point, smile while making that final audience eye contact, then sit down.
Selecting a Strategy
Preparing material for an impromptu talk is next to impossible, besides keeping up with current events, forming opinions about those events, and maintaining an interest in the world around you. But you can be familiar with speaking strategies that help you with the “Tell” step.
1. Express an opinion
Begin by stating an opinion, then justify it with a supporting statement: one for a question, two or three if giving a short speech. Or you can offer reasons why you agree or disagree with an idea or concept.
2. Address cause and effect
State the situation, then discuss its causes and eventual consequences.
3. Break the topic into components
Discuss them individually, such as “three areas need to be taken into consideration; to begin with...”
4. Discuss the past, present and future
If the topic involves assessing a situation over a span of time, organize it into a timeline.
Whatever you do... Here are three definite “don’ts”:
1. Don’t apologize
Taking time to apologize or make excuses is annoying and reduces the effectiveness of your speech.
2. Don’t ramble
Don’t repeat old statements or backtrack. Come full circle and restate your original points, but be brief.
3. Don’t invent (at least in real-life situations)
At Toastmasters we often hear "inventive" and entertaining impromptu speeches.  But in real-life situations, when you're put on the spot, bluffing is risky. Strive for sincerity, and if you don’t know how to respond, say so, then ask a few questions in return to show your interest.
Thinking on your feet is an excellent mental habit to cultivate, but it takes time and effort to establish. These basic concepts should help you

This is my first post on my new blog. I hope the languageCD and text arrive today. I am not home, but at my in-laws finishing up with my teaching reports to the various schools here in Japan.
