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 and1

woman---it is ever the same, each soul must depend wholly on itself.(Elizabeth Cady Stanton)

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）

Repetition of the initial consonant sound of close or adjoining words.Examples:

①Peace is essential for progress, but progress is no less essential for Peace.(Liaquat Ali Khan)②In a nation founded on the promise of human dignity, our colleges, our communities, our country should challenge hatred wherever we find it.(Hillary Rodham Clinton)

D.Antithesis 对比法

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)

第二篇：英语演讲选修课4introduction

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

 Don’t apologize.Don’t pretend

Don’t make hollow promises

Don’t rely on gimmicks

Don’t preface your introduction

Lesson one

Public Speaking A B C Teaching Aim and Requirement Aimed at ensuring the Ss to have a basic knowledge of public speaking.Teaching methods PPt, interact between teacher & student Assignments

What are the essentials of an effective speech? How to overcome nervousness? Teaching procedures

Why study public speaking  Increase personal and social abilities Public speaking provides training in a variety of personal and social competencies.For example, self-awareness, self-confidence and dealing with the fear of communicating. Enhance your academic and career skills As you learn public speaking, you also will learn a wide variety of academic and career skills.These skills are central, but not limited, to public speaking.A few additional abilities that you should refine during this course that will help you throughout your career are the abilities to:  Explain complex concepts clearly  Support an argument with all the available means of persuasion  Understand human motivation and be able to use your insights in persuasive encounters  Organize a variety of messages for clarity and persuasiveness  Refine your general communication abilities Public speaking also will develop and refine your general communication abilities by helping you to improve competencies such as:  Developing a more effective communication style  Enhancing your self-concept and self-esteem  Adjusting message to specific listeners  Detecting and responding to feedback  Developing logical and emotional appeals  Building and communicating your credibility  Increase your public speaking abilities What is public speaking? “A man speaking is four things,… First, he is a will, an intention, a meaning which he wishes others to have, a thought;second, he is a user of language, molding thought and feeling into words;third, he is a thing to be heard, carrying his purpose and words to others through voice;and last he is a thing to be seen, shown to the sight, a being of action to be noted and read through the eye.”--Woolbert “Speech is thought conceived, transmitted, and expressed by brain, voice, and body, producing stimuli for auditors and for the speaker himself and influencing subsequent thoughts, feelings and actions.” Wilson Public Speaking Vs Conversation Purpose: both communicate with a certain purpose Audience: a public speech is usually directed at more listeners.Feedback: public speaking is relatively uninterrupted discourse.Delivery: public speaking requires intensified volume of voice and bodily action.Materials and organization: public speeches are mostly prepared ones.Impromptu speeches are rare.The essentials of a speech Objective: Before you start to prepare a speech, you would ask yourself: “Why am I making this speech? 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
