These, in turn, range from beginner-level ones, such as narrative speeches with easy sentence structure, accessible vocabulary, familiar topics and relatively short duration, to increasingly longer ones, with sophisticated discourse, more mature topics (such as politics, as in Chapter XXV), more complex syntax and, indeed, even humour(!) (such as the last Chapter XXXVI), which is the bane of any interpreter\'s existence, as the trainees will no doubt find out..
These range from preliminary ones, which are typically used during the early stages of acquiring Interpretation skills, such as sight translation, memory exercises and consecutive without notes, include consecutive Interpretation with notes, when the trainees learn the note-taking technique, and extend into the practice of simultaneous skills.
The texts can be used as a basis for a variety of activities.
We recommend reading these introductions, whether the activities are part of self-study or work at class.
Perhaps the most important role of the introductions to each chapter is to give suggestions of activities the texts can be used for, based on their style, topic, vocabulary, and length.
The text for each speech is preceded by an introduction which gives information about the provenance of the text, its domain and topic, it describes its style, suggests appropriate types of activities suitable for it, and provides directions to sources of (often extensive) further reading at the end of the book.
There are thirty-six chapters in the book.
