英语演讲比赛即兴演讲中的心理调节来源：英语专业论文 http:///
即兴演讲的准备时间短，更多的时候的边说边想，同时还要在关中的注目下应对专家和评委的提问。所有这些都造成了参加英语演讲比赛的选手们的紧张情绪。
一、即兴演讲的心理调节紧张是每个参加英语竞赛的选手都会面临的问题，而即兴演讲阶段是其中最紧张的阶段。那么如何在平时的训练中培养选手的抗压能力和临场应变能力，做到在众目睽睽之下依然口若悬河，镇定自若呢?
（一）充分的准备有“卓越的演讲家”之誉的美国前总统林肯曾指出:“即使是有实力的人，若缺乏周全的准备，也无法做到有系统、有条理的演说（戴尔·卡耐基）。”成功的演讲，需要有充分的准备，否则，没有准备好就出现在听众面前，紧张是在所难免的。对付怯场心理最有力的武器是精心准备，对材料的熟练。只有有备而来的演说者才能获得自信和成功。不论任何形式的演讲，充分的准备都是必不可少的。但是，由于即兴演讲给参赛选手的准备时间非常有限，所以在准备期间，参赛者应按照brainstorm—structure—expressions的过程认真准备，争取在有限的时间内完成高效、充分的准备工作。
（二）熟能生巧在平常的练习中，要做适当的话题性练习，还要多做计时练习。对于练习的话题，选手们可以参考历年IELTS和TOFEL的口语题库进行选择，尽量选择一些与教育、科技、人文、社会等与生活联系比较紧密的话题。在熟练掌握这种即兴演讲的流程后，可以尝试有关政治、经济、艺术、哲学等比较难的话题。参赛选手们还必须多做计时练习。
不论是3分钟的即兴演讲，还是更短的1分钟即兴演讲，参赛选手都应该对时间的长短有充分的感性认识和体会。在平时的练习中，选手们可以用录音或者录像设备将自己的即兴演讲录下来，然后自己再反复去听录音，去看录像，研究自己在发音、连读、断句、节奏、语音语调、结构等方面还存在哪些不足。再对照自己的大纲，仔细思考还能否从别的角度找到不同的观点或者更好的实例，或者名人名言等其他素材。如果有时间，可以根据大纲完成一篇150字左右的英语短文。这样既对题目加深了印象，又练习了英语的准确表达能力。在经过一段时间的练习后，希望参赛选手们能将相关话题的题目归类，并且把自己的观点、实例等搜集到的资料做成一个资料库。即使在比赛现场没有遇到同样的题目，也可以根据自己资料库中的资源快速组织回答的内容。并且，参赛选手对自己的语言风格也有了一定的认识，也清楚按照自己的表达方式，1分钟或3分钟的演讲中，自己可以说多少句话。
（三）端正演讲动机参赛选手演讲的目的，一是为了表达自己对一个事物或观点的看法，一是表现自己的英语语言应用能力。因此，表达的观点只要能够自圆其说就可以了，不需要刻意迎合评委和观众的观点。而且，评委评判的标准也主要依据参赛选手的英语组织能力和表达能力及场上的应变能力。所以参赛选手的心态应该平和，只要在赛场上表现出自己真实的实力就可以了。
二、即兴演讲的场上注意事项在做好了比赛前的充分准备之后，参赛选手如何在有限的1分钟或3分钟内克服紧张情绪，充分展示自己的实力。
（一）赛前放松准备参赛选手在台下准备的时候可以跟其他参赛选手聊天，也可以听听自己喜欢的歌曲，分散注意力；或者深呼吸，从一数到十，并心中默念“放松”；或者做眼保健操，放松面部肌肉，也可以做颈部、肩部和腰部的伸展运动，放松身体。但是做运动的时候注意动作的力度不宜过度，不要造成身体的疲劳。
（二）注意与评委和观众的眼神交流由于在演讲过程中，参赛选手非常紧张。因此，在专注于思考如何回答问题的同时，可能他们的眼神会不由自主地落在地面某一点或者左顾右盼，这一点应该在平时的训练中加以锻炼。
眼神的交流非常重要，因为眼神的交流有四大作用： 一是表示对听众的尊重；
二是吸引听众的注意力；
三是维持听众对讲话人或内容的信心；四是获取听众的反馈和反应（林超伦）。所以，参赛选手可以采用模糊焦点的方法，就是盯着评委桌子上的杯子或者名牌，造成与评委进行眼神交流的假象，用这样的方法来减轻自己的紧张情绪。
（三）注意语速和节奏由于紧张，参赛选手的说话速度可能比平时要快。这样的结果一方面是使自己更加紧张，另一方面可能会影响发音的准确性，令评委和观众听不清参赛选手所讲的内容，而造成误解。所以如果感觉自己的语速有点快，可以适当加一些语气词，如“well”，“and”，“uh”，“en”，“yousee”，“youknow”等词，在这个过程中深呼吸，也可以利用这个时间来思索如何继续演讲。
（四）空档的处理方法如果在即兴演讲中，突然忘词，或者说错了，或者突然没有更多的内容要说，而这时还有时间，参赛选手这个时候是最紧张的。选手们在这时不用说“sorry”，因为不用为此来道歉，并且，如果说了“sorry”反而会加深听众的印象，知道你在这个地方出现了失误。所以处理这种情况的方法也可以参照上文中的建议，采用一些语气词，来缓解自己的压力，并且迅速寻找合理的语句来继续下面的演讲。
（五）培养不受干扰的能力在英语演讲比赛中，计时员通常会在临近演讲结束前1分钟或者30秒举牌或者响铃来提醒演讲者，这对参赛选手们来说是一种很大的干扰。所以在看到提示或听到提示音的时候，参赛选手可以点头或者说“yes”，“well”等语气词来缓解压力。在平时的训练中，也可适当加入计时提醒，使演讲者逐渐适应演讲规则，提高抗压能力和心理素质。
三、结语英语演讲比赛中的即兴演讲是一项有挑战性的部分。它的难点主要来自演讲者自身。如果战胜了自己的紧张、胆怯心理，这就标志着演讲成功了一半。英语演讲参赛者不可能完全消除紧张的情绪，适当的紧张情绪可以起到集中注意力的效果。因此，参赛选手们可以根据本文介绍的技巧，将紧张情绪降低到合理的范围，使得演讲能够真实的表达出自己的思想，并正常发挥自己的英语水平。

1.How do you think Ant tribe(蚁族)should go to smaller cities? Well, it’s a quite complex issue.In my eyes, I couldn’t agree more to stay in smaller cities.Because the natural environment is relatively good in small cities, where generally have no tiresome traffic jam.As we all know, ant tribe, are mostly young graduates who started their college life in 1999.These college graduates, with hopes for a better quality of life, rush to large cities like Beijing and Shanghai, where social resources are abundant, development opportunities are plentiful, also with the most fierce competition.Indeed, the ant tribe don't have a stable job in major cities.They work so hard in order to stay in large city, but sometimes the opportunities are not there for them.What a pity!They have big dreams and ambitious plans, but have slim chance to realize them.Nowadays, more and more companies have chosen to settle in the small cities.The employment competition of second-tier cities is smaller than large cities’.And the development potential is more and more big in small cities.So I think, it’s a good opportunity for ant tribe to start their career in second-line cities.2.How do you think China introduce a complete ban on smoking in restaurants and bars?
Well, it’s a very complex question.In my eyes, I couldn’t agree more to completely ban smoking in all pubic places, much less in bars and restaurants.Smoking is a disgusting habit and should be discouraged.We all know clearly that smoking is very harmful to the smoker’s health.Longtime smoking can lead to lung cancer and other serious health problem.Almost a quarter of China's population smoke and more than one million people die every year from smoking-related illnesses.I’m the one who is allergic to cigarette.I don't want to have to endure 2 hours of second-hand smoke just to finish eating my dinner.However, I think it is too difficult to expect people to give up cold turkey.“Smoking ban” has implemented more than one year, but no obvious effect.The huge number of smokers, the undefined punishment rules, smokers’ poor self-control ability and people’s weak awareness of dangerous about secondhand smoke, are the challenges to the smoking ban.To this issue, we just hope the government can really force the ban to take effect.Also we should strengthen our non-smokers’ awareness to discourage the smokers around us.3.Should university student start their own business as soon as they graduate from universities? Well, it’s a quite complex issue.With the competition in the job market becoming increasingly fierce for college graduates, some ambitious students have tried their hands at launching their own businesses.Not all college graduates are suitable for undertaking entrepreneurial projects.To launch a business, one needs to have a sound business idea, a viable business plan, the charisma to create a cohesive team, effective managerial skills, and above all, the courage to compete against powerful rivals.In addition, it still needs some other conditions, such as seed money, Venture partners and so on.So, if you have most of the conditions all above or you dare to have a try, then do it.If you don’t, perhaps you should have a job first and wait for the chance.4.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Married couples have a better life without children? Nowadays, there are more and more DINK families continually appearing in our society.The reason is complicated.No matter what reasons, I don’t agree that
married couples have a better life without children.In my opinion, children are of course the indispensable part of family.If no children, both sides of the couple will have too much free time, and if their free time are out of sync, then one side who stay at home will feel lonely, then he or she will require more of the other side.In addition, children can ease up the dispute between family members in an easy way because of their innocence, especially the married couple.If without a child, when the couple quarrels with each other, they will always focus on their own feelings, probably making some wrong decisions in anger, such as run away from home and divorce.Moreover, children can maintain the relationship of husband and wife and decrease the divorce rate.From many researches, parents who have children have less possibility to divorce because they have to consider the future of the children.It is helpful to maintain the social order.5.What do you think is more important for a child, a happy childhood or top marks at school? First, my opinion is that a happy childhood is more important than any other for a child.It is the precondition of one’s happy life, and it is part and parcel of the growth of good character to a child.Generally speaking, if a child has a happy childhood, he is more likely to become more optimistic and develop himself better than the child who has not.Second, I want to say that parents have to shoulder the responsibility to provide the children with a happy childhood.There is saying: Parents are best teachers for their children.So they should guide them, encourage them to find out their own talents or interests, give them more care and chances to develop themselves.But some parents don’t think so;they attach importance to higher marks.In fact, a top mark isn’t the only s tandard to measure a child’s ability.Teachers can not take this standard, Parents either.6.Do you think big cities need more public transport instead of more private cars? I couldn’t more agree that big cities need more public transport instead of more private cars.In many people’s eyes, a car makes going out convenient and comfortable and can help them save their time.However, private cars cost much money to buy and maintain, contribute much to air pollution, consume more energy and always lead to traffic jam.In contrast, public transportation, including buses, taxis, subway and so on, have many advantages.Firstly, pubic transport is more low carbon.Secondly, pubic transport is Energy-saving and does more benefits to environmental protection.What’s more, pubic transport can ease up the traffic pressure.So the government should develop enough public transportation that is effective and punctual.7.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents are the best teachers.I couldn’t agree more with the statement.Parents are the best teachers.Take my parents for example, they are not only my parents, but also my friends and teachers.I spent most of the time with my parents before I go to college, and I surely learn a lot from my parents in everyday’s life.When I was a child, they teach me like how to walk, how to dress up, how to be a honest people and how to tell right from wrong.As I grow older, they teach me how to manage my money, how to make friends, how to study, how to make decisions, and so on.I like to take my parents’ advice into consideration.And it always works.Overall, in my eyes, parents are the most intimate people to us.They will teach us all they know when we need it.They will not hide anything from us.What’s more, parents are the people who know us the most, therefore, advice and suggestions from our parents are the most pertinent and valuable.8.Some people believe that university students should be required to attend classes.Others believe that going to classes should be optional for students.Which point of view do you agree with?
Of course shall request the students to attend classes.Let me explain my view for the following reasons.Firstly, attending class can make a communication chance for the students and teacher.It will do plenty of benefits to students’ study.And teachers generally have undergone many things in their life, they can give students some correct advice and lead them to the right way.Secondly, attending class can make a bridge between students and students.They can learn and help from each other, and change their different ways of thinking.All of these will help to improve their team spirit.Last but not the least, attending class reflects the requirements of responsibility and discipline.If students want to attend class then in class, don’t want to then absent, the school will be out of control.9.Is it better to enjoy your money when you earn it or is it better to save your money for some time in the future? In my perspective, it is better to save money for some time in the future.There are many negative effects without money saved.First, without money saved, people may be put on psychological stress.Besides, without money saved for future, they will have to take risks if they come across accidents or emergencies.For example catching serious diseases someday, fired by the company and can’t find a job.Without money saved, it is really horrible to think about this kind of scenarios.Apart from the negative effects above, what about the positive side of saving money for future use? First, saving money for future use can help us earn more money by investing money into like stock market and fixed estate.Secondly, saving money for future use can ensure we have good lives after retirement.Finally, saving money can probably help those in bad need for money.10.The expression “Never, never give up” means to keep trying and never stop working for your goals.Do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Nothing is difficult if you put your heart on it.Nothing is easy if you don’t try your best.When someone say “never, never give up”, he means that he will keep trying and never stop working for his goal no matter how many times he fails.If we give up too early, we will rarely achieve anything.It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new, so we should not feel discouraged and should try again.Besides, if we always give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new skills.Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes only if we make a new effort.If we do not try again, the lesson we have learned is wasted.Now I want to quote Hillary Clinton's words to end my speech.She says, “always aim high , work hard ,and care deeply about what you believe in, and when you stumble ,keep faith, when you're knocked down, get right back up and never listen to anyone who says you can't or shouldn't go on and never, never give up”.11.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? A person should never make an important decision alone.Of course a person should never make an important decision alone, important decision should be well thought out.People, who know you well, know what is best for you, and close to you can give you good advice, give you a different perspective, or share their own experience.Especially old people know much more than young because they have undergone many things in their life.In many cases, they lead us to the right way.After getting all advice together, you will often find that things become much easier.However, never making an important decision alone doesn’t mean you should give the decision right to others.You just take others’
suggestions to help you make decision.Because only yourself knowing exactly what you want.
