Do you need to inform, to persuade, to train or to sell? ”Your objective should be clear in your mind.If it is not clear in your mind, it cannot possibly be clear to your audience.Audience: “Whom am I making this speech to?” Sometimes this will be obvious, but not always.You should try to inform yourself.How many people? Who are they? Business people? Professional people? Political people? Experts or non-experts? Will it be a small, intimate group of 4 colleagues or a large of 400 competitors? How much do they know already and what will they expect from you? Place: Where am I making this speech? In a small hotel meeting-room or a large conference hall? What facilities and equipment are available? What are the seating arrangements?

Time and length: When am I making this speech? How long will it be? Will it be 5 minutes or one hour? Just before lunch, when your audience will be hungry, or just after lunch, when your audience will be sleepy? Method: How should I make this speech? What approach should you use? Formal or informal? Lots of visual aids or only a few? Will you include some anecdotes and humor for variety? Content: What should I say? Now you must decide exactly what you want to say.First, you should brainstorm your ideas.You will no doubt discover many ideas that you want to include in your speech.But you must be selective.You should include only information that is relevant to your audience and your objective.You should exclude all other ideas.You also need to create a title for your speech.The title will help you to focus on the subject.You can always give additional information during the questions after the speech.Notes: When you give your speech, you should be—or appear to be as spontaneous as possible.You should not read your speech!You should be so familiar with your subject and with the information that you want to deliver.Reading a text is boring, and will make your audience go to sleep.So if you do not have a text to read, how can you remember to say everything you need to say? The answer is WITH NOTES!You can create your own system of notes, Some people make notes on small, A6 cards.Some write down just the title of each section of their talk.The notes will give you confidence, but because you will have prepared your speech fully, you may not even need them.Rehearsal: You will become more familiar with what you want to say;

You will identify weaknesses in your speech.You will be able to practice difficult pronunciations;

You will be able to check the time that your speech takes and make any necessary modifications.Rehearsal is a vital part of preparation.You should leave time to practice you speech two or three times.Even the great speaker sometimes will be in panic and slip into a bathroom for practice before making a speech.Ten steps for preparation Step 1---Select a topic for your speech

Lesson Four Introduction 1.Getting attention and interest(1)Relate the topic to the audience(2)State the importance of your topic(3)Startle the audience(4)Arouse the curiosity of the audience(5)Question the audience(6)Begin with a quotation(7)Tell a story 2.Reveal the topic 3.Establish credibility

 Credibility: the audience’s perception of whether a speaker is qualified to speak on a given topic.Your credibility need not be based on firsthand knowledge and experience.It can come from reading, from classes, from interviews, from friends.4 Preview the body of the speech

 Preview statement

 A statement in the introduction of a speech that identifies the main points to be discussed in the body of the speech.Tips for preparing the introduction

1.Keep the introduction relatively brief.Under normal circumstances it should not constitute more than 10 to 20 percent of your speech.2.Be on the lookout for possible introductory materials as you do your research.File them with your notes, so they will be handy when you are ready for them.3.Be creative in devising your introduction.Experiment with two or three different openings and choose the one that seems most likely to get the audience interested in your speech.4.Don’t worry about the exact wording of your introduction until you have finished preparing the body of the speech.After you have determined your main points, it will be much easier to make final decisions about how to begin the speech.5.Work out your introduction in detail.Some teachers recommend that you write it out word for word;others prefer that you outline it.Whichever method you use, practice the introduction over and over until you can deliver it smoothly from a minimum of notes and with strong eye contact.This will get your speech off to a good start and give you a big boost of confidence.Some common faults of introductions

 Language is important  Meaning of words  Using language accurately  Using language clearly  Using language vividly  Using language appropriately  A note on inclusive language Using language clearly 1.Use familiar words 2.Choose concrete words 3.Eliminate clutter 2.Choose concrete words  Concrete words: words that refer to tangible objects 

Abstract words: words that refer to ideas or concepts 

Keep this in mind: few words are completely abstract or concrete.Abstractness and concreteness are relative.Two main ways to use moving and vivid language: imagery and rhythm 1.Imagery:(意象）

The use of vivid language to create mental images of objects, actions or ideas.It is a word picture that gets you totally involved.Three ways to generate imagery: A.Concrete words B.Simile（明喻）

An explicit comparison introduced with the word “like” or “as” between things that are essentially different yet have something in common.Example: C.Metaphor（暗喻）

Unlike simile, metaphor does not contain the words “like” or “as”.2.Rhythm（节奏）

The pattern of sound in a speech created by the choice and arrangement of words.Four basic stylistic devices to improve the rhythm

A.Parallelism（排比）: the similar arrangement of a pair or series of related words, phrases, or sentences.Examples: ①Rich and poor, intelligent and ignorant, wise and foolish, virtuous and vicious, man and woman---it is ever the same, each soul must depend wholly on itself.(Elizabeth Cady Stanton)

②There is no Negro problem.There is no Southern problem.There is no Northern problem.There is only an American problem.(Lyndon Johnson)③I speak as a Republican.I speak as a woman.I speak as a United Sates Senator.I speak as an American.(Margaret Chase Smith)B.Repetition

Repeating the same word or set of words at the beginning or end of successive clauses or sentences ①When you see your street, see my street.When you see your house, see my house.When you see your children, see my children.(Whitney Young, Jr.)②We will not tire, we will not falter, we will not fail.(George W.Bush)C.Alliteration（头韵法）

The juxtaposition of contrasting ideas, usually in parallel structure.Examples: ①Ask not what your country can do for you;ask what you can do for your country.(John.F.Kennedy)②Your success as a family, our success as a society, depends not on what happens at the White House, but on what happens inside your house.(Barbara Bush)Using language appropriately 1.Appropriate to the occasion

2.Appropriate to the audience 3.Appropriate to the topic 4.Appropriate to the speaker A NOTE ON INCLUSIVE LANGUAGE

 Inclusive language: language that does not stereotype, demean, or patronize people on the basis of gender, race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or other factors.Four basic methods of delivering a speech
