While British readers have been able to pick up the paperback edition of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows since July, fans in this country will have to wait a bit longer. Scholastic has announced that the U.S. paperback will arrive on July 7, 2009, just a few weeks ahead of the big-screen debut of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which was pushed back to July 17 from a planned release this November. The U.S. paperback will pub two years after the 2007 hardcover publication of Deathly Hallows, and almost exactly one year after the British paperback release. That edition sold more than 46,000 copies in its first few days on the market, with British supermarket chain Asda nabbing 79% of the initial sales, following a limited-time £1 “Magic Price” promotion, according to the Bookseller. (Asda’s deep discounting drew complaints from booksellers, and the Guardian’s Book Blog contemplated whether this had diminished the Potter brand.) |

There is a wide variety of phrases, many of them already familiar. So if you need somewhere to start, this is a good place. If you are new to speaking, lack confidence, or are a non-native speaker of English, the material will be a great basis for your presentation. It presents exact phrases, even entire speeches, for a variety of situations (including formal events). The are also useful for any international businessperson who is new to making presentations to Americans and is not 100% confident speaking in English.
So use the book as a starting point for your speech and use the examples I you are having difficulty finding words. Then make the speech you own by adding your own enthusiasms and unique ideas.

Remember the last time you were in a meeting and someone said something that seemed completely off-track? What happened next? If your group is like most, someone probably said something like, “Dan, that’s off-track” or “Let’s get back on track.”, or simply ignored Dan’s comment. As a result, Dan may have checked out for the rest of the meeting or continued to press his “off-track” point. The meeting may have dragged on with members getting more frustrated with Dan or you may have lost Dan’s critical input and support without realizing it. ... There is a way to avoid these negative outcomes
