2、缺乏逻辑性。还有一些同学在作自我介绍时,要么只说两句话名字,年龄;要么夸夸其谈但缺乏逻辑性。别看简简单单的一个自我介绍有时也能反映出一个人的逻辑思维和做事态度。
3、缺乏幽默感。幽默的开场除了可以营造出活泼和睦的气氛外,还能给对方留下深刻的第一印象,即使对象是以建立了朋友关系或同事关系的外国人,在酒会或聚餐等各式场合,同样可以用诙谐的方式来表现自我,使你和他们之间的关系达到更圆满的程度。
初学英语的各位人士,可以学着用一下;对于自认为用英语作自我介绍已经易如反掌的英语高手,不妨在平时也试试使自我介绍增添一些新意:)实用演讲稿大全

一、演讲稿的特点
演讲稿具有以下三个特点:
第一,针对性。演讲是一种社会活动,是用于公众场合的宣传形式。它为了能够用思想、感情、事例和理论来打动听众,“征服”群众,必须要有现实的针对性。所谓针对性,首先是作者提出的问题是听众所关心的问题,它的评论和论辩要有雄辩的逻辑力量,要能为听众所接受并心悦诚服,这样,才能起到应有的社会效果。
第二,可讲性。演讲的本质在于“讲”,而不在于“演”,它以“讲”为主、以“演”为辅。由于演讲要靠口头讲出来的,所以写演讲稿的时候必须以容易说能够讲为前提。一篇好的演讲稿对演讲者来说要可以;对听讲者来说应该要好听。因此,演讲稿写成之后,作者最好能通过试讲或默念加以检查,凡是觉得讲不顺口或听不清楚之处,都应该作修改与调整。
第三,鼓动性。演讲是一门艺术。好的演讲会有一种激发听众情绪、赢得好感的鼓动性。要做到这一点,首先要依靠演讲稿思想内容的丰富、深刻,见解精辟、独到,语言表达要形象、生动,富有感染力。
二、演讲稿的结构有自己的特殊之处。
演讲稿的结构分开头、主体、结尾三个部分,其结构原则与一般文章的结构原则大致一样。但是,由于演讲是具有时间性和空间性的活动,因而演讲稿的结构还具有其自身的特点,尤其是它的开头和结尾有特殊的要求。
(一)开头要抓住听众,引人入胜
演讲稿的开头,也叫开场白。它在演讲稿的结构中处于显要的地位,具有重要的作用。好的演讲稿,一开头就应该用最简洁的语言、最经济的时间,把听众的注意力和兴奋点吸引过来,这样,才能达到出奇制胜的效果。演讲稿的开头有多种方法,通常用的主要有: l.开门见山 开门见山,就是直接提示演讲的中心,不讲多余的话,这样的开头,使听众一听就知道演讲的中心是什么,注意力马上就集中在演讲上。
2.介绍情况,说明根由。这种开头可以迅速缩短与听众的距离,使听众急于了解下文。3.从日常生活或切身体会入题 可以借助某事件、某一比喻、个人的经历或一段笑话,唤起听众的注意,同时使它成为与题目有关的媒介,或与演讲的主要内容衔接起来的因素。4.用提问激发听众的思考 这种方法是根据听众的特点和演讲的内容,提出一些激发听众思考的问题,以引起听众的注意。
除了以上三种方法,还有唱歌式、悬念式、警策式、幽默式、双关式、抒情式等。作为演讲比赛,巧妙地承接上一位或前面几位选手的演讲话题,或是他们演讲中的观点、动作等进行引发,效果将非同凡响。这种临场性的发挥会给听众留下良好的印象。
好的开头是成功的一半,头开好了,接下来就是文章的主体部分了。
(二)、主体要环环相扣,层层深入
这是演讲稿的主要部分。在行文的过程中,要处理好层次、节奏和衔接等几个问题。
1、层次 我们都知道看文章,一遍不清楚,可以回头再看,而演讲却不同,听众只能听一遍,因此要求层次、条理十分清楚,能让听众一听就明白。
那末,怎样才能使演讲稿结构的层次清晰明了呢?根据听众以听觉把握层次的特点基本方法就是在演讲中树立明显的有声语言标志,从而获得层次清晰的效果。此外,还可以运用过渡句,或者是“首先”“其次”“然后”等语词来区别层次,2、节奏 节奏,是指演讲内容在结构安排上表现出的张弛起伏。
演讲稿结构的节奏,主要是通过演讲内容的变换来实现的。演讲内容的变换,是在一个主题思想所统领的内容中,适当地插入幽默、诗文、轶事等内容,以便听众的注意力既保持高度集中而又不因为高度集中而产生兴奋性抑制。优秀的演说家几乎没有一个不长于使用这种方法。
演讲稿结构的节奏既要鲜明,又要适度。平铺直叙,呆板沉滞,固然会使听众紧张疲劳,而内容变换过于频繁,也会造成听众注意力涣散。所以,插入的内容应该为实现演讲意图服务,而节奏的频率也应该根据听众的心理特征来确定。
(三)结尾要简洁有力,余音绕梁。结尾是演讲内容的自然收束。言简意赅、余音绕梁的结尾能够使听众精神振奋,并促使听众不断地思考和回味;
1、把要点做一下总结。
2、展望未来,鼓舞斗志 在演讲结束时,提出任务,指明前途,提出希望,发出号召,鼓舞听众振奋精神,坚定信念,采取行动,会收到预期的效果。
3、用充满激情的话语作结 充满激情的话语能激起听众情绪的激动,激越的感情会使听众受到感染,并受到鼓舞。
4、用名言、诗句、歌曲作结。用名言、诗句作结可以使演讲的主题得到有力的证明,加强演讲的力度,使听众在联想和印证中得到深刻启示。篇三:英语演讲比赛主持人开场白定稿
