从大的方面看，英语演讲词实际上是属于一种特殊的说明文或议论文，其基本组成部分是：

1)开始时对听众的称呼语 honorable judges(评委)等等。

2)提出论题

由于演讲的时间限制，必须开门见山，提出论题。提出论题的方法有各种各样，但最生动，最能引起注意的是用举例法。比如：你要呼吁大家关心贫穷地区的孩子，你可以用亲眼看到的或者收集到的那些贫穷孩子多么需要帮助的实例开始。另外，用具体的统计数据也是一个有效的引出论题的方法，比如：你要谈遵守交通规则的话题，你可以从举一系列有关车辆、车祸等的数据开始。

3)论证

对提出的论题，不可主观地妄下结论，而要进行客观的论证。这是演讲中最需要下功夫的部分。关键是要把道理讲清楚。常见的论证方法有举例法、因果法、对比法等等，可参见英语议论文的有关章节。

4)结论 结论要简明扼要，以给听众留下深刻印象。

演讲稿首先要开门见山，既要一下子抓住听众，又要提出你自己的观点，中间要用各种方法和所准备的材料说明、支持你的观点，感染听众，然后在结尾强调说明观点或得出结论，结束演讲。

演讲稿的写作有严格要求，就内容而言，要主题鲜明，表达完整;就文章组织结构而言，要思维清晰，逻辑性强，就语言而言，要有感染力、形象生动。写作是可根据需要正确有效地使用英语写作方法和技巧，如恰当的使用明喻、暗喻、夸张等各种修辞方法，用词要准确，尽量避免使用生僻、模糊、晦涩的单词或短语。

总之，要考虑听众对象，注意演讲的措词，但又要讲明扼要、有理有据、结构紧凑。许多著名演讲家的不朽之作都有振奋人心、扭转乾坤般的力量，如马丁?路德?金的《我有一个梦想》，美国总统林肯在葛底斯堡的著名演讲，克林顿在北大的演讲等，不少句子都已经成为

具体要求：

a.简要说明研究背景(background)

b.简要介绍总的发现(general findings)

c.介绍具体要点(introduction of points)

d.与现有发现(若有)进行比较(parison in the context of other studies)

e.意义(suggested meaning)

f.结论(conclusion)

g.前瞻研究(future studies)

结论往往是论文中最长也是最难写的部分，主要原因是作者要对研究结果和发现进行分析、推断、演绎和推理，要求作者具有很强逻辑思维能力和英语文字组织能力。此外，这部分时态比较复杂，要分清实验过程和结果(过去时)与分析意见(确定：现在时不确定或假设：过去时)的区别他人研究结果(过去时或现在完成时)与本研究结果(过去时)的区别普遍适 用的结论(现在时)与只适用本研究的结论(过去时)的其别等。因此，对于however, may, might, could, would,possibly, probably, be likely to 等词(组)的使用以及we believe(think/ consider)that, to our knowledge, in our experience(practice)等插入语的使用就显得格外重要。

第三篇：英语演讲稿写作

Hello everyone!Today my topic is “We Are Post-90s”.Who are we? It is a question which seems lack of originality.The first idea that struck me is the answer “post-90s”.We were born in the Net Generation,and most of us were only children.As you know that different eras have different symbols,and different symbols have their own ways of embodiment.Our society is developing and *** progress;thus it is bound to be changed.Because of the Internet,our habits and customs are connected with the world.However,that doesn’t mean we no longer owe the good virtues and merits of the Chinese civilization that inherited from the ancestors.Growing up in cyber time,we contact too much information,we accept new things quickly.But we were in touch with the reality far too little.We didn’t experience the madness of the Cultural Revolution.We don’t know what did famine mean in the past.We are not accustomed to the implicit emotion.Growing up with the Internet,we love fast-food culture;we prefer computers to books and newspapers;we are keen on dance music of Japen and Korea,and even most of us are idolaters.Therefore,many make the comments that we are uninhibited,shallow thinking,ego and conceited.There’s no wonder that we are regarded as uninhibited for we wear bizarre clothing;we are regarded as shallow thinking for we are no more interested in classical literature but in Internet;we are regarded as ego for we blame others blindly yet never self-criticize;what’s more, we are regarded as conceited for we are accustomed to sniff at everything without knowing the fact.Nonetheless,in fact the reason why we are premature is that we dare to explore;we raise one question after another is that we have strong curiosity.We don’t lack of calm and insightful thinking under our mirthful look.We get away from home in search for the freedom regardlessly.Moreover,we create something new and original as we hate ideologism.When I planned to go for travel this summer holiday, my parents didn’t support me which made me very frustrated.They were concerned about my safety.I’ve made my mind to go outside and widen my views, so I decided to make money by myself.I got up early that morning and arrived at the place the employer and nobody answered the phone.I couldn’t help thinking I was cheated and becoming more and more anxious.At that time I met some other peers who were hunting for part-time jobs, so I joined them.Finally, we found a job which was a little same like marketing.To get employed, I had to make a self-introduction and show my abilities.At first, I was thinking to quit but finally I did it and got the job.I worked very hard and my legs had lost feelings.That day, the charge said I performed the best.I could never forget how excited when I put the money in my pocket.From then on, I tried to bear mean environment.I know it’s very hard to make money.On the other hand,we post-90s all have a warm heart under our mask.Take Wenchuan Earthquake and Beijing Olympics for examples.Wenchuan was in a terrible mess after the disaster.The houses were collapsed and people were buried under the ruins.Everything seems in desperate condition.Thanks to them-the People’s Liberation Army,most of which were post-90s.They rushed to the stricken area and tried their best to rescue the afflicted people.Though exhausted and toiful,they didn’t complain,but just get involved in the work.The whole society was impressed by them deeply.Since then the post-90s were not as cold and weak as people thought before.We post-90s are responsible for the society;we love our country;we care much for people;the most important is that we are not afraid of difficulties any more.As for the Beijing Olympics,most of the volunteers were post-90s.During the game,they helped with the atheletes,audiences,as well as visitors.They worked hard everyday and smiled to everyone.Our post-90s’ demeanor were appreciated by the whole world.We post-90s take too many responsibilities and hopes,with misconstruction and criticism all the way.I think we need more understanding and tolerance.In conclusion,I’d like to say that”facing the future,we are ready.”

That’s all for my speech.Thank you for your attention.电子信息学院乔婷 0942051248

there was a boy who was very shy.he had no courage to speak english in public, because his pronunciation was not very good, even poor.every time the teacher asked the students to answer questions, he always bent his head quickly with fear.how he wanted to disappear so that the teacher would ignore him and could give the chance to the other students.however, at one time, the moment he lowered his head, the teacher asked him to answer a question.everyone looked at him, his face turned red suddenly.standing still, he said nothing.it came as a real big surprise that he heard a shower of applause.having struggled for a little moment, he collected enough courage and gave his answer.to his delight, the answer was perfect.the boy felt encouraged and gained a little confidence.a few days later, his mother gave him a book as a present of birthday.it was li yang crazy english.this book inspired him and he was determined to change his poor situation by learning english speech.the next day, the boy woke up very early.after having breakfast, he went to the playground to practice.at that time, many students were on the playground, running or reading silently.taking a deep breath, he read out the first sentence at the top of his voice——“good morning”.just then, the students running through turned to him and burst out laughing.he felt very embarrassed and his face turned red, but there were some voices always in his mind: if you want to improve yourself, you must defeat yourself, defeat the fear of yourself.just keep going!

as time went on, more and more students threw their surprised eyes at this boy.but he tried to ignore them.he should keep going no matter what happened.the day will always live in his mind when a senior student running after him held the fist and said to him,“ fight for yourself and just keep going”.at that moment, the boy felt his body was hot, and his heart warm.thanks to the senior student’s words, he was more confident of himself.and that winter was so warm.from then on, he spares no efforts to practice his spoken english, seizing every opportunity to prove himself.through his constant work, the boy is not shy any more.he can speak confidently, loudly and fluently on any occasions.now the boy is standing here to deliver his speech.it’s amazing but true.i’m the boy and i’m standing here!

through the story mentioned above, i have the reason to believe that my friends, the future is in your own hands, and here's the map showing the way: set a goal and just keep going!

英语演讲稿的组成部分：

从大的方面看，英语演讲词实际上是属于一种特殊的说明文或议论文，其基本组成部分是：

英语演讲稿注意事项：

1.演讲要越短越好

关于写好英语演讲稿，应该要直截了当，开门见山的，不应该有中文的那种迂回婉转的表达方式。据有关专家统计，一般人的注意力一次只能集中约13分钟。所以，演讲长度以10～15分钟为宜。

2.根据听众对象，注意演讲的总体措词

演讲的总体措词是严肃一些还是活泼一些，是有较明显的说教口气还是用平等的口吻，等等，都要根据听众对象而定。如果场下听众是同龄的学生，那么演讲的内容只要风趣一些往往就能引起共鸣。但另一方面，如果听众大多是上了年纪的教师，太多的笑料反而会被认为“不严肃”，“不尊重”，而引起反感。

用英语演讲，不要用太多 的内容，会给人觉得缺乏说服力。另外，perhaps,。

还有，在演讲中，要少用you，多用we。用you等于把自己与听众对立起来，而用we则拉近了与听众的距离。比如：you

should

not

smoke.听上去像教训人，而

lets

not smoke听起来是一个不错的建议。

3.英语演讲稿的语言特征

(1)多用实词，多用短句，少用结构复杂的长句

在英语演讲中，and，but，so，then

等虚词要尽量少用，that，which

i

i

feel, feel，i

i think maybe think，老是用i，显得十分主观，狭隘。如果通篇全是

这样的词语，虽然有“客气，谦虚”的成分，但太多会让人觉得你演讲的内容有不可靠之处等词引导的定语从句也只会使句子结构变得复杂，而使听众难以跟上演讲者的思路，从而影响演讲的效果。相反，多使用实词，短句，可使得演讲内容更清晰，气势更磅礴。

(2)演讲要注意使用各种修辞手法，增加演讲的感染力和气势。英语演讲中常用的修辞手法有：渐进(climax)、对照(antithesis)、排比(parallelism)、警句(epigram)等等，例如：

that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.(排比)

这个民有、民治、民享的国家将不会从地球上消失。

united, there is little we can not do;divided, there is little we can do.(对照)

团结，我们便将无所不能;分裂，我们则会一事无成。

let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.(对照和渐进)

让世界各国都知道，无论对我们怀有好感与敌意，我们将付出任何代价，肩负任何重任，面对任何艰辛，支持任何朋友，反对任何敌人，以确保自由的生存与成功。

what we should fear most is the fear itself.(警句)

我们最应恐惧的是恐惧本身。

ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.(对照)

不要问你们的国家能为你们做些什么，而要问你们能为你们的国家做些什么。

设想一下，假如在我们的演讲中能融入上述这样运用得当的修辞手段，那我们的演讲将会变得多么有力与动人。

英语演讲稿范例

farewell, indifference

who was the most well-known figure in china last month? it’s ma jiajue—the college student who murdered 4 of his roommates.many people attributed his crime to his poverty and deficient cation.in my opinion, his crime also has much to do with his classmates’ indifference.indifference is a terrible disease in today’s colleges and the whole society.it’s not rare that two students who have studied together for 4 years have never spoken to each other.it’s not rare that a student who has been absent from class for several days is not noticed at all.it’s also not rare that a student who has severe psychological problems is not cared about at all.some people may say ‘what the students with psychological problems like ma jiajue need is not care but psychotherapy.” however, when people are ill, what they need most is not only medical treatment, but also care from people around them.every smile and every caring word will bring sunshine to their life.i once heard one of my roommates who was an introverted girl sobbing at mid-night.being afraid of disturbing her, i sent a text message to fort her.the next day, she told me that she was crying for not being invited to one of her friend’s birthday party.she thought she was neglected by others.but my message was really forting which told her someone still cared about her.what can we do to prevent the tragedy of ma jiajue from happening again? some people may say ‘let’s open more psychological courses in schools.’ and other people may say ‘let’s donate more money for the poor students.’ but i’ll say “my fellow student, let’s give more love and care to our roommates, our classmates and every person around us!”

走出冷漠

谁是中国上个月最有名的人物? 这当然要数马加爵了——这个杀害了四名同学的大学生。很多人将他的犯罪归结于他的贫穷和不全面的教育。但我觉得他的犯罪还跟他周围同学的冷漠有很大关系。

冷漠是流行于当今校园及整个社会中的一种可怕的疾病。有的同学在一起学习了4年却从未说过话，有的同学几天没去上课却无人知晓，还有的同学有了严重的心理问题却得不到关心。

有人说：像马加爵那样有心理问题的人需要的不是关心而是心理治疗。但在一个人生病的时候，除了医生的治疗，他需要的还有周围人的关心。一个微笑，一声问候都能为他们的生活带来阳光。

有一天半夜，我碰巧听见寝室里一个平时很内向的女孩在轻声抽泣。为了不惊动她，我给她发了一条短信来安慰她。

范例：

ladies and gentlemen , good afternoon!i'm very glad to stand here and give you a short speech.today my topic is “youth”。i hope you will like it , and found the importance in your youth so that more cherish it.first i want to ask you some questions:

1、do you know what is youth?

2、how do you master your youth?

youth

youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind;it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshne;it is the freshneof the deep springs of life.youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite , for adventure over the love of ease.this often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20.nobody grows old merely by a number of years.we grow old by deserting our ideals.years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.worry , fear , self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.whether 60 of 16 , there is in every human being 's heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what's next and the joy of the game of living.in the center of your heart and my heart there's a wirelestation : so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young.when the aerials are down , and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but as long as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at 80.thank you!
