第一篇:英语演讲方法
演讲稿的写作
演讲稿首先开头要开门见山,既要一下子抓住听众又要提出你的观点,中间要用各种方法和所准备的材料说明、支持你的论点,感染听众,然后在结尾加强说明论点或得出结论,结束演讲。
演讲稿的写作有严格的要求,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。写作时可根据需要有效、正确地使用英语写作方法和技巧,如恰当地运用明喻、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、晦涩的字词。总之,要考虑听众对象,注意演讲的措辞,但又要简明扼要、有理有力、结构紧凑。许多著名的演说家的不朽之作都有振奋人心、扭转乾坤般的力量。从马丁.路德.金的“I have a dream”,美国总统林肯所作的著名的盖茨堡演说,到克林顿在北大的演说,不少句子都成为不朽的佳句,值得认真研读。
3.进行演讲
具备演讲的知识和技巧,演讲稿的完成只是演讲的序幕,要进行成功的演讲则要进行严格的训练。训练时,分析演讲要领,训练演讲技巧和姿势语,观看CCTV杯和爱立信杯等英语演讲的录像,了解并按照比赛评分标准进行严格的模拟训练,观察演讲过程是否具备以下特点:主题鲜明,表达完整(演讲内容);思维清晰,逻辑性强(文章组织结构);感情充沛,富有表现力(演讲气势);发音正确,语音语调标准(英语语音);反应敏捷,回答准确(心理素质);着装整洁,仪态大方等等。
除此之外,还要有良好的心理素质。多进行模拟演讲,有良好的心理素质,才能更好地表现自己,取得演讲的良好效果。有的同学能讲一口地道的美式英语,但由于缺乏良好的心理素质而怯场,甚至在比赛中紧张得说不出话来或有一些不良的举止而被淘汰出局。有了充分的准备,进行演讲就不太难了。在演讲的整个过程中还要注意一些演讲的要领与技巧,如演讲者与听众目光的接触(eye contact),声音的抑扬顿挫(vocal variety),和肢体语言的配合(hand gestures and body language)等等,但要恰当,不要太多,否则会喧宾夺主,影响演讲效果。
掌握了这些要领,有了充分的知识储备,再加上良好的心理素质,一定会成功的.演讲指南

第二篇:英语演讲技巧与方法01
英语演讲技巧与方法01
(一)演讲开场要告诉听众什么
1、引起听众的兴趣-I’m going to be speaking about something that is vitally important to all of us.-My presentation will help solve a problem that has puzzled people for years...-At the end of this presentation you will understand why this company has been so successful for so long...-I am going to be talking about a product that could double your profit margins...-the next ten minutes will change your attitude to sales and marketing...-Over the next ten minutes you are going to hear about something that will change the way your companies operate...-By the end of this presentation you will know all there is to know about...2、告诉听众内容要点
-there are five main aspects to this topic(...the first,...the second,...a third,...another,...the final)
-I am going to examine these topics in the following order(...first,...next,...after that,...finally)
-I’ve divided my talk into five parts...-I will deal with these topics in chronological order...-I’m going to start with a general overview and then focus on this particular problem(...in general,...more particularly).-I want to start with this particular topic, and then draw some more general conclusions from it(...specifically,...in a wider context).-there are(a number of)factors that may affect...-We have to take into account in any discussion of this subject, the following considerations.-We all ought to be aware of the following points.(二)给你的演讲找个漂亮的结尾
End your speech with an attitude, not a platitude.用一种有力的态度结束你的演讲,而不是用那些陈词滥调。Instead of firing off a perfunctory “thank you,” consider launching fireworks of final passionate thoughts from the podium.演讲结束时,在讲台上让最后的激昂思绪迸发出火花,而不是用一句不痛不痒的“谢谢大家”来做结尾。
With the flair of a fireworks finale, you’ll trigger spontaneous applause to a well-rehearsed, well-timed, and well-executed performance — a performance that reflects all the anticipation of a logger’s cry: Timbeerrrrrrrrrrr!
当你如烟花般谢幕,你将激起的不止是观众的掌声,更是那种自发的却如同演练已久的群体表演——你预料之中的激烈喝彩!This article shows you how to close your speech with a bang.本文会告诉你如何让你的演讲在结束时获得巨大的反响。
Leading speakers end their speeches like the opera star—on a high note, vocally and intellectually.Just as the comedian should leave ‘em laughing, the speaker should leave ‘em thinking.Last words linger.Last words crystallize your thoughts, galvanize your message, and mobilize your audience.优秀的演讲者会像一位歌剧明星一样结束他们的演讲——不管在语言上还是思想上都留下一个“高音”。正如喜剧演员在人们的笑声中退场,演讲者也应该在人们的思考中退场。最后的话仿佛余音绕梁,令人回味。最后的话升华了你的思想,激活了你传达的信息,并且调动起了观众。
Study the following 10 templates and adapt your speech to end your speech with a bang:
采用下面的10个例子,应用到你的演讲之中,让你在演讲的最后一鸣惊人:
#1 – Bookend Close #1—好书结尾式结尾
For a bookend speech closing, refer back to your opening anecdote or quote and say, “We have arrived, now, where we began.”
这样的结尾是指重新回到演讲开始时引用的轶事或者话语,并且说道:“现在我们又回到了我们开始的地方。”
#2 – Challenge Close #2—挑战式结尾
Challenge your audience to apply what you have told them in the speech.挑战你的观众,让他们运用在你的演讲中学到的知识。#3 – Echo Close #3—回音式结尾
Focus on one word in a quotation and emphasize that word to echo your final point.专注于你引用过的一个词,反复强调,来不断突出你最后的观点。
#4 – Repetitive Close #4—重复式结尾
Find a phrase and structure it in a repetitive format that strikes the cadence of a drummer, building to a crescendo ending of a motivational speech.使用排比句,使之听起来像鼓手打鼓那般有节奏感,使用渐次加强的语气来结束一场激动人心的演讲。
#5 – Title Close #5—标题式结尾
Give your speech a provocative title that encapsulates your message memorably.Then, use the title of your speech as your closing words to stir your audience to think more fully about what they just heard.给你的演讲取一个有煽动性的标题,因而使你传达的信息更加难忘。然后用此标题来作为你的结束语,引发观众对你刚刚的演讲内容更深刻的思考。
#6 – Sing Song Close #6—歌唱式结尾
Ask the audience to repeat a phrase that you used several times in your speech.请观众重复你在演讲中反复说过的一句话。#7 – Callback Close #7—回忆式结尾
Refer back to a story you told where some activity was not fully completed.Then pick up the story and close it around your theme.重提你说过的一个不完整的故事,用它来切合你的主题,结束你的演讲。
#8 – Movie Close#8—电影式结尾
Make a reference to a well-known movie or book.参考一部著名的电影或书。
#9 – Quotation Close#9—引用式结尾
Use a famous quotation to harness the audience’s attention, much like turning on a spotlight.用一句名言吸引观众的注意,就如打开一盏聚光灯一般。#10 – Third Party Close10#—第三方式结尾
Take the use of a quotation up a notch with the Third Party Close.Leverage the use of a quotation in context of your message.Use the premise of that quotation to frame your finale so that it serves as a launching pad to lift your message high for the audience to more fully appreciate.利用第三方式结尾来使用名言。通过你要传达的信息内容来衡量名言的用处。以那句名言为基础构造你的完美谢幕,让它成为你语言的发射台,让你说的话更好地被观众所接受。
(三)演讲开场15秒,抓住观众的心
演讲开场后的15秒,足以让你的观众决定是否还要继续听下去。千万不要浪费这短短的15秒,不然你在演讲中,就会后悔地看到他们开始低头玩手机啦!为了防止这种情况发生,以下给出4个建议,帮你快速抓住观众的心!
1.Have somebody else introduce you.省去自我介绍,让别人代劳吧!
Don't waste time explaining who you are and why you're there.Write a short(100 word)bio and a short statement(50 words)of what you'll be talking about.If you were invited to speak, have whoever invited you read this information to the audience.If you called the meeting yourself, put that information in the invite.2.Do not tell a “warm-up” joke.暖场笑话实在没必要。
I have no idea how the “warm-up joke” became part of conventional business wisdom.Most of the time, the “joke” consists a weak attempt at situational humor(like “why are these meetings always on Monday?”)that merely communicates that you're nervous and unsure of yourself.The rest of the time, the “joke” is a long story with an obvious punch line that tries everyone's patience.3.Do not begin with “background.” 观众对背景知识没兴趣。
Many presentations begin with a corporate background that's intended to build credibility.(Example: “Our company has 100 years of expertise!”)The problem here is that at the start of a presentation nobody cares about your company.You're asking them to translate your background information into something that's meaningful to them and their business.Why should they bother?
4.Open with a startling and relevant fact.新奇、重要的事实更能抓人眼球。
To get an audience focused on what you're going to tell them, you must first break through the “mental noise” that causes their attention to waver.This is best accomplished by a slide showing a fact that is new to the audience and important enough to capture their attention.Build the rest of your presentation to answer the business questions that this initial fact has raised in their minds.两个不同的演讲开头 BAD:
“Hi, I'm John Doe from Acme and I've been working in the widget industry for 20 years.And boy, has it been an exiting time(just kidding!)Acme is the industry leader in widgets with over a million satisfied customers!I'm here today to talk to you about how we can help you save big money on your purchases of high quality widgets.”BETTER:
“Yes, one million dollars.”(Pause.)“That's how much money you're losing every year because of widget failure.Fortunately, there IS a better way and I'm going to explain how you can easily save that money rather than waste it.”
Needless to say, the slides in the above example are simplistic.The “better” example could probably be made more visually rich, perhaps with an illustration of money going down a drain(along with the $1m).What's important here is that you realize why the surprising and relevant first slide is far more likely to capture the audience's attention than the typical rambling intro.Please note that the “startling and relevant” fact need not be an attempt to generate fear.The fact could just as easily be about possible
opportunity, the achievement of a long held goal, or something else that inspires.As long as it's surprising and relevant, the audience will listen.(四)英语演讲中逻辑的重要性
Wu Po-te, 24, believes logic gave him the edge in winning the 18th China Daily “21st Century Coca-Cola Cup” National English Speaking Competition in Xiamen.But being crowned the national top speaker required more than just logic.It was Wu’s first visit to the mainland from Taiwan, where he is studying at Fu Jen Catholic University.In contrast to the other participants, who were all accompanied by their friends, tutors and even parents, Wu came to Xiamen alone on short notice.His tutor was unable to accompany him.Wu’s major is also quite special ― Clinical Psychology and English Literature, which he believes gave him another edge with its marriage of emotion and reason.“My knowledge in psychology enables me to find an interesting angle to analyze issues and reading English literature grants me the ability to effectively structure a story,” said Wu.He cited the example of Ang Lee, the film director, who is an *alumnus of Wu’s high school.“Ang Lee has a sensitive heart, but his works are very disciplined.I am an emotional person, but I need to tell the story in a logical way,” said Wu.In his speech that won over the panel of judges in the final round of the competition, Wu shared the story of how he recovered from a car accident with the aid of literature.He said the thoughts, sentiments and narratives of literary works allowed him to express himself in an efficient and elegant way.“By drawing on the various thoughts I have absorbed with the assistance of logic, I can be understood quite easily,” said Wu.Commenting on how to organize different ideas into a well-supported argument, Wu said the best way to learn is by teaching.Wu has a younger brother and sister and has been teaching them since primary school.In senior high school he worked as a private tutor, and at university he took a course on teaching children to read through picture books.“When you teach, your thoughts and arguments must be well-organized for students to understand,” said Wu.Speaking of winning the title, he said it was a surprise for him.He only had one week to prepare for the competition and wrote his winning speech hours before the grand final.But Wu said the real trophy he will take back to Taiwan are the many friends he made during the competition.“I thought I would be all alone because I don’t know anyone here,” said Wu.“But my peers on the mainland, both contestants and audience members, were so friendly that they made me feel very at home.”
(五)如何让你的演讲打动观众?
Speaking publicly requires more than courage and fluent English.Sometimes the addition of breeziness, humor, even silence can increase the impact of your argument.Experts at the 21st Century Cup shared their advice on making speeches a success.Arthur McNeill, PhD(Question Master): Director of the center for language education and associate dean of the school of humanities and social science at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.“A challenge for Chinese speakers is to make their speeches sound natural.When a speaker has spent many hours memorizing a text, it can be difficult to deliver it with a sense of spontaneity.And if a speaker is worried about recalling a memorized speech, there is a risk that the communication with the audience will be less direct and sincere.Audiences like speakers who give the impression they are enjoying themselves on the stage.”
Liu Dailin(Judge): Professor at the Open University of China and director of the Advisory Committee of Foreign Languages Teaching in Vocational Education of the Ministry of Education.“Quite a number of contestants used quotations in their speeches.This is a very effective tool, but before quoting someone else’s words you must ensure you have fully understood their meaning.Only then can you include a quotation in your argument and deliver it in a persuasive manner that informs the audience.”
David Quartermain(Question Master): Deputy director of the MPI-Bell Centre of English at Macao Polytechnic Institute in China.“A constant flow of words delivered in a monotonous tone is likely to send audience members to sleep.Keep them interested by varying the tone of your voice, the pitch and tempo.Rui Chenggang and Charlotte MacInnis, both from CCTV, host the national competition on March 24 in Xiamen.Remember that you’re speaking to an audience.So create a relationship with your listeners by addressing them directly, using facial expressions or telling them a personal story.Pausing at the right moment can also be more effective than rushing straight into the next sentence.Besides, adding breaks gives you time to think about your arguments.”
“Humor and depth are both important for a successful speech.A good speech should have something that enlightens audience members and makes them laugh heartily.”
(六)公众演讲都有哪些禁忌?
优秀的公众演讲主题鲜明,振奋人心,更能为听众带来精神上的享受。能够向演说家一样在台上侃侃而谈,是很多人学习演讲的目标。舞台背后的准备与辛勤练习,更是决定了台上几分钟演说是否精彩。而所有的努力与付出,都是一个又一个小小细节组成的。以下是公众演讲的一些禁忌,小心不要因小小细节而功亏一篑。No-nos in public speaking演讲禁忌Talking too fast;语速太快;
Speaking in a monotone;声音单调;Using too high a vocal pitch;声音尖细;Talking and not saying much;“谈”得太多,说得太少;Presenting without enough emotion or passion;感情不充分;Talking down to the audience;对观众采取一种居高临下的姿态;Using too many “big” words;夸张的词语使用得太多;Using abstractions without giving concrete examples;使用抽象概念而不给出事例加以说明;
Using unfamiliar technical jargon;使用别人不熟悉的技术术语;Using slang or profanity;使用俚语或粗俗语;
Disorganized and rambling performance;演讲无组织,散乱无序;Indirect communication i.e.beating around the bush;
说话绕弯子,不切中主题
(七)乔布斯演讲的12条秘诀
1.“Develop a messianic sense of purpose.” Where is your passion for this subject coming from? Convey that.”对内容有很大的热忱”。告诉观众你对演讲主题的热情来自哪里。
2.“Create Twitter-like headlines.” People don’t want to read, they want to hear a story.“标题简洁”。人们不想阅读大段文字,他们想听你的故事。3.“Draw a road map.” Make your audience feels the presentation is organized, with a beginning, middle and end.“思路明确”。用“开头,中间部分,结尾”的结构让观众感觉到你演讲的清晰思路。
4.“Introduce the antagonist.” What’s the problem that needs to
be solved or the enemy to be overcome?
”介绍对手”。有什么问题亟待解决?有什么敌人还需攻克? 5.“Reveal the conquering hero.“ What’s the solution to the problem? What’s the new angle or development that will lead to victory?
“揭露问题真相”。问题的解决方式是什么?是新观点或是发展迎来了胜利吗?
6.“Dress up your numbers.” Present statistics in a context that is relevant to your audience.“让数据大放异彩”。数据可以引用在更贴近观众生活的地方。7.“Share the stage.” It’s not a one-man show.Rotate in other presenters if possible.“分享舞台”。演讲不是独角戏,尽量让听众们也参与到你的演讲中来。
8.“Master stage presence.” Manage your body language and delivery.Match them to what your presentation requires.“掌控演讲”。让你的肢体语言和表达方式有演讲范儿。9.“Make it look effortless.” Rehearse, rehearse, rehearse.“看起来侃侃而谈”。不断练习。
10.”Wear the appropriate costume.“Dress like the leader you want to become.“穿合适的衣服”。要看起来像你一直羡慕的领导风范。
11.”Toss the script." Once you’ve rehearsed it all, make it relaxed and natural.“不要演讲稿”。如果你已准备充分,就放轻松自然地演讲吧。12.“Have fun.” Even if things go sideways, roll with it.“享受演讲”。如果事情跑偏了,就随遇而安吧。
(八)美国总统的演讲是如何练成的?
“我不会支持任何一项将所有削减赤字的负担都压在普通美国人身上的方案。” 2011年9月19日奥巴马在白宫演说中开启了他对富人征税的计划,他超凡的演讲魅力打动了很多人。
即便是口齿正常的国家领袖,想要在演说中挥洒自如也绝非是一件易事,因为你在对一个国家的人喊话。以历任美国总统来说,演讲就是他们的必修课,当然,凡是课程也都会有人不及格。奥巴马“男中音”有优势
总统演讲的第一个条件:有个好嗓子,就成功了一半。但好嗓子都去百老汇了,剩下来当总统的嗓音就参差不齐了。
奥巴马天生丽质,他是个男中音,听起来沉稳得多;林肯的声音听起来则尖声细气,所以今天的听众其实很难想象,当林肯用他的小细嗓子,在葛底斯堡演说中高喊“我们要在这里下定最大的决心,不让这些死者白白牺牲”,会是一种什么情景;而小布什的嗓音则听起来有点滑稽,加上他不时露出笑容的脸,总让人觉得想笑。还有一个问题,就是林肯时代没有演讲提词器,不过多半时候也不会出岔子,因为那时候的演讲稿就是他自己写的,而且只有272个单词,印象深刻也不会忘记很多。曾有一个段子说美国总统罗斯福问美国的外交官哈里曼:“为什么英国首相丘吉尔的演讲稿那么激动人心呢?我们的撰稿人怎么就写不出那么有水平的东西呢?” 哈里曼说:“那是丘吉尔自己写的。” 看来在演讲稿这个问题上,还是躬亲的效果比较好。
奥巴马在演讲上就颇有功力,这一点很像林肯。奥巴马曾经在伊利诺斯州做议员,林肯就出生在那个州,奥巴马的选举开始点就是林肯的老家斯普林菲尔德,颇有点向林肯致敬的意思。和林肯最为相似的是,奥巴马的某些重要演讲稿就是自己所写。除了 “偷师” 林肯之外,奥巴马的演讲还有一个特色,就是他借鉴了马丁·路德·金博士那种连贯的排比句和问句,从现场录音就可以听得出,因为马丁·路德·金在林肯纪念堂前高喊那些排比疑问句时,下面很多听众很激动地高声回答 “耶”,这种句式极大地调动了台下听众的积极性。
小布什是个另类,因为很多词他读不清楚,所以妻子劳拉经常需
要在他上台演讲之前,一边帮他整理衣领,一边帮他校正 “格鲁吉亚”、“阿塞拜疆” 这些国家名字的读法。故此,曾有媒体拍到小布什的副总统切尼在总统演讲时打瞌睡,连自己的副手都如此不屑,说明小布什的演讲真的无聊啊。写演说稿是个力气活
上文提到罗斯福非常妒忌丘吉尔的演说稿,结果发现那是首相大人自己写的。但像丘吉尔这种勤于写作的领袖真的比较少,多数演说稿还是由人代笔完成的,一篇看似不长的演说稿,其实对写稿人来说就是一项非常的折磨,对各种政治因素的考虑和博弈,一遍遍谨慎的审视和修改,完全就是一件体力活。
1987年,柏林建城750周年,美国总统里根要去发表演说,撰写演说稿的任务就落在了彼得·罗宾逊头上,写点什么呢?
当时的柏林,是东德的首都,柏林墙还屹立在那里,所以东德的外交官首先告诉彼得,不要写猛烈抨击柏林墙的话,不要骂苏联。但是彼得在东德逗留的短短时间内,从身边的人口中只体会到了一种最为强烈的情绪,那就是要求拆掉柏林墙。于是,彼得开始动笔:“戈尔巴乔夫先生,拆掉这堵墙吧。” 因为是对东德人演说,所以他故意用了德语的“先生”一词,思来想去,他又把 “拆掉” 改成了 “推倒”。结果,这篇演说稿在白宫的新闻主管那里被撕成了碎片,他对彼得咆哮道:“一无是处!”
彼得只好又闷头修改,“推倒” 又被改成了 “拆掉”。最后,这篇演说稿得到了里根总统的首肯,他很喜欢。彼得听了总统的赞许,心情自然很好,可是厄运接踵而至,美国国务院和国家安全委员会看过演说稿之后,简直是暴跳如雷,他们认为那句 “拆掉这堵墙吧” 简直就是一句天真的玩笑,是明摆着和苏联搞对抗,这种想法出现在总统演说中实在是过于幼稚了。连当时的美国国务卿舒尔茨都觉得,这样的话出现在里根总统的演说中,简直就是对苏联领导人戈尔巴乔夫的冒犯和无礼。
结果,那堵墙没拆,那句话就首先被删掉了,填上了不温不火的一句期待:总有一天,这堵丑陋的墙是会消失的。彼得盯着这句话有点窝火,总有一天会实现,这不是苏联人最爱说的话么?
等里根飞到意大利的时候,这篇演说稿再一次被拿出来讨论,白宫新闻主管把各方的意见都说了一遍,里根自己读了一遍,尤其是 “拆掉这堵墙吧” 那一段,他笑着说:“留下吧。”等他的飞机抵达柏林时,那些反对派还是不死心,大清早就拿着演说稿再次找到里根,想删除那句话。在前往勃兰登堡门的汽车上,里根对新闻主管说,他必须要讲出那句话,还开玩笑说:“国务院那些家伙肯定会杀了我。”
结果,演说的效果异常地好,曾经坚持要删掉那句话的美国国务卿舒尔茨甚至找到写稿人彼得说:“你是对的!” 2年之后,柏林墙被拆除。
“调教总统”的演说训练师
像很多技能一样,演讲的技巧是可以训练的,别以为总统都是天生的演说家。很多美国总统的华丽演讲其实都出自一个训练师之手,他可以让你成为总统,也可以让你成为白痴,他叫迈克尔·锡恩。与 “学生” 奥巴马的慷慨陈词不同的是,他轻声细语,为人低调,总是喜欢躲在幕后“调教总统”,他对每一个前来求教的人物也都了如指掌:“克林顿的演说为什么如此精彩?因为他很享受那个过程,只要有听众,他就能侃侃而谈。”原来,克林顿是个“话唠”。对比鲜明的是,克林顿的妻子希拉里就不是特别喜欢滔滔不绝地演说,这也许就是为什么他们可以做夫妻:一个愿意说,一个愿意听。希拉里还在回忆录中提到过锡恩教她如何使用提词器的事情,这就是现在的总统的好处,林肯时代肯定没有那玩意,词儿都记不住,就别当总统了。
奥巴马也不是天生就会使用提词器,2004年他在民主党全国大会“一讲成名”之前,他就是个 “演讲菜鸟”,因为他从来没遇到过全国大会那么大的阵势,他攥着自己那2300个单词的演讲稿排练了3遍,还是不得要领。锡恩教奥巴马说,不要被观众席上的噪声所干扰,要学会驾驭鼓掌声,准确地找到停顿和继续的时间点。
现年60岁的锡恩,对每一任总统都很熟悉。锡恩还清晰地记得肯尼迪第一次演讲时的尴尬:“他看起来很害怕,根本不想演讲,那时他才17岁,但是他答应了叔叔要演讲,我对他说‘抬起头,让观众看到你,不要担心!’”
锡恩为何会如此热衷于研究演讲的技巧,因为就像电影《国王的演讲》中的国王一样,锡恩也曾是一名口吃患者,经常在排长队买东西的时候说不出来要买什么,被后面的人狂骂。后来他发现,其实只要稍微改变一下说话的腔调,就可以改正口吃的毛病。后来,他有了自己的媒体顾问公司,从历届美国总统到华尔街金融业巨子,都是他的客户。
现任美国财政部长盖特纳,曾经是一个沉默寡言的木讷之人,最终也在锡恩的调教下变成了一个能说会道的财长。不知道美国前任财长保尔森是否接受过锡恩的培训?他也有些口吃,而且语速很慢,如果他足够能说会道的话,就不需要在请求国会通过经济救援计划时,向当时的众议院议长佩洛西单腿下跪了。
大萧条时期的美国总统胡佛,很看不起另一位总统罗斯福,因为口音很重的胡佛总是觉得罗斯福太会演说,或者叫 “太会表演了”,这是不是口音不正的胡佛对能说会道者的一种嫉妒呢?
(九)奥巴马演讲的六个技巧
美国给这代人选出了一位最厉害的政治演说家——贝拉克•奥巴马。一位可以向20万人发表演说的人身上一定有你可以学到的东西,下面一起来分享一下美国总统奥巴马的6个演讲技巧。
1、了解观众
2008年,在格兰特公园,对着20万观众演讲,奥巴马很容易“踩到地雷”。他没有。他对着在家里起居室里的美国人讲话;他对着投票给麦凯恩的人讲话;他对着全世界关注他的人讲话,从各国政要到穷国中最穷的人。他知道观众是谁。
“告诉那些远隔千山万水的人们;告诉各国议会和各国王室;告诉那些被世界遗忘的角落里、挤在一起收听广播的人们,我们的故事千差万别,但我们的命运休戚与共,美国领导的新时代即将到来。”
2、在故事中,涵盖观点
美国历史上,长期争取民权的运动,使奥巴马参选成为可能。奥巴马用安妮·迪克森·库珀的故事,表达了这个观点。库珀是一位106岁高龄的女性,她的父母是奴隶;她经历了民权运动的几个重要里程碑。
“她出生时,上一代刚刚结束奴隶制;当时,路上没有车子,天空没有飞机;象她一样的那些人,因为两个原因不能投票:因为她是女人,因为她皮肤的颜色。”
这样感染力强多了,效果比干巴巴的历史课棒多了。
3、在观众的脑海中描绘图案
奥巴马用特定、具体的词汇给我们留下了深刻的印象。举几个例子: “即使今晚,我们站在这里;我们也知道,那些勇敢的美国人行进在伊拉克的戈壁滩上,行进在阿富汗的崇山峻岭中。用他们的生命,为我们冒险。”
“总而言之,我请你加入重建国家的行列,过去221年,在美国,这是唯一路——用一双双布满老茧的双手,一砖一瓦地努力,一个街区一个街区地努力。”
4、有人情味
贝拉克·奥巴马告诉全世界,他将给两个女儿弄一只小狗,并且带到白宫里。全世界人都喜欢这个。在首次新闻发布会上,他说,这是他网站上最热门的话题。
5、娓娓道来,举重若轻
奥巴马说话并不快。他等着观众明白,以及互动。这让他的话有分量。你也可以这样。
6、明暗色彩
奥巴马的竞选演说有不同的感情色彩:欢快——幽默——严肃——亲密——坚定。如此变化牢牢吸引着人——当你上台时,也表现自己的明暗色彩。

Good morning , ladies and Gentlemen
Today it is my great honor to be here and make a speech about my view on computer games.I would like to begin with a story.It is about my elder cousin.He is 24 now.What a great and beautiful age ,full of hope, dream , and success.But all these beautiful things are so far away him , a murderer who has been kept him in prison for two years.He used to be a top student in senior high school.But since he fell in love with computer gemes,he spent all of his time sitting in front of the screen , crazily playing those computer games day and night.As a result , his school records turned out to be a mess.What’s more , one day he had a quarrel with his partner.My cousin grabbed an cap and hit heavily on his partner’head.That was the tragedy,for both of them.So my view is strong , definite , and clear.Down with computer games!
Nowadays children are spending far too much time on computer games.They don’t realize that computer games are in fact nothing but a great waste of time , money and energy.They don’t realize how harmful the computer games are to their physical and mental growth.First of all ,many children are so much appeal to computer games that they even forget food and sleep.It is very bad for their phsical health.For example , children desert the football ground as they all sit at home around the computer plauing the games which are noisy , and will damage their eyes and ears.As a result , children cannot be physically fit and strong.Secondly , computer games distract children’s attention form their studies.They finish their homework in a hurry , or even copy their classmates’, in order to squeeze time to play games.Thirdy ,some computer games are filled with violence and sex.Children are too young to tell right from wrong.They may blindly imitate the bad behavior.Computer gamesare realy extremely harmful to their mental growth.Therefore ,down with computer games!They are just fantasy.Young people should be encouraged to do more meaningful and museums.They should be encouraged to set a real goal in life and pursue their great ideals All in all , down with computer games!.

第五篇:英语演讲
1.演讲前的准备
准备是搞好演讲的前提。首先是要确立一个题目或一个话题。一般演讲赛都分为命题演讲和即兴演讲。如要进行演讲比赛则必须对各个方面加以准备:政治、经济、文化、教育等,找好立意点,拟定题目,如政治方面的演讲主题:WTO、统一、和平与发展、机遇与挑战;经济方面演讲主题:西部大开发、农村经济、再就业;教育方面演讲方题:中西方教育的不同、远程教育、终身教育、枪手;文化方面演讲主题:文化的交流与融合、校园文化;环保方面演讲主题:man and nature;科技方面演讲主题:网络、克隆、基因;卫生方面演讲主题:keep physically and mentally healthy;体育方面演讲主题:Olympics……有些方面题目太大,可从多角度和多侧面思考,找好切入点,将题目细化和具体化,写出演讲稿的提纲,构思和组织演讲稿结构。
拟定好话题后的第二步就是演讲材料的收集与整理。其中最好的方法就是有计划地阅
读大量的英语原文以及各类英语报刊杂志,阅读是一个循序渐进的过程,同时也是培养英语思维的过程,对提高英语的口头表达能力和书面表达能力是至关重要的。利用有关资源与材料(如图书、报刊、杂志或网络资源等)收集所需的内容。然后对材料加以整理或进行梳理,舍弃不太重要的内容或用不上的材料,准备写演讲稿。演讲稿的写作
演讲稿首先开头要开门见山,既要一下子抓住听众又要提出你的观点,中间要用各种方法和所准备的材料说明、支持你的论点,感染听众,然后在结尾加强说明论点或得出结论,结束演讲。
演讲稿的写作有严格的要求,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。写作时可根据需要有效、正确地使用英语写作方法和技巧,如恰当地运用明喻、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、晦涩的字词。总之,要考虑听众对象,注意演讲的措辞,但又要简明扼要、有理有力、结构紧凑。许多著名的演说家的不朽之作都有振奋人心、扭转乾坤般的力量。从马丁.路德.金的“I have a dream”,美国总统林肯所作的著名的盖茨堡演说,到克林顿在北大的演说,不少句子都成为不朽的佳句,值得认真研读.3进行演讲
具备演讲的知识和技巧,演讲稿的完成只是演讲的序幕,要进行成功的演讲则要进行严格的训练。训练时,分析演讲要领,训练演讲技巧和姿势语,观看CCTV杯和爱立信杯等英语演讲的录像,了解并按照比赛评分标准进行严格的模拟训练,观察演讲过程是否具备以下特点:主题鲜明,表达完整(演讲内容);思维清晰,逻辑性强(文章组织结构);感情充沛,富有表现力(演讲气势);发音正确,语音语调标准(英语语音);反
应敏捷,回答准确(心理素质);着装整洁,仪态大方等等。
除此之外,还要有良好的心理素质。多进行模拟演讲,有良好的心理素质,才能更好地表现自己,取得演讲的良好效果。有的同学能讲一口地道的美式英语,但由于缺乏良好的心理素质而怯场,甚至在比赛中紧张得说不出话来或有一些不良的举止而被淘汰出局。
有了充分的准备,进行演讲就不太难了。在演讲的整个过程中还要注意一些演讲的要领与技巧,如演讲者与听众目光的接触(eye contact),声音的抑扬顿挫(vocal variety),和肢体语言的配合(hand gestures and body language)等等,但要恰当,不要太多,否则会喧宾夺主,影响演讲效果。
掌握了这些要领,有了充分的知识储备,再加上良好的心理素质,一定会成功的.即兴演讲是多即兴?一点准备时间都没有的么?
我觉得首先应该要知道具体都需要讲些什么,第一点第二点在心里面都要清楚,有必要的时候写下来可以在接下来说的时候作为提醒。
其次就是每个要讲的点,就叫论点好了,最好都举个比较简单的例子去支撑这个论点。有的时候你可以说according to 谁谁谁或者xxx书籍,去更好的支撑你的论点,非正式场合,基本上可以胡编乱语,但正式场合一定要有理论依据或者论据来源。举例子举一两个就好,举多了就跑题。举例子的同时就可以考虑下一步要说什么。
论点之间会有转折,接续等等的词,比如转折就有however,in spite of, although, etc.接续就有moreover,furthermore,thus。当然像firstly,secondly, thirdly也比较经常会用到。还有就是即兴演讲有的时候说的很兴奋,可能说的东西不是那么正确,你就要说,this is only my opinion,或者其他类似,这只是我的意见。如果你知道有不同的意见,你并不同意,当然也要提一两句,并且给出你不同意的原因。
还有就是开头结尾很重要,一定要有礼貌,开头要说你即兴演讲的题目是什么,你首先要稍微总结一下你对这个题目的观点是什么。
结尾的时候你要对题目还是要做一下总结,这很重要。然后要说,Thank you for your time, is there any question?当然也可以不用说有没有什么问题。
条理一定要清楚,虽然有可能会胡言乱语,但是大体上要说的让人有共鸣,听的懂。
语速不要太快,会更紧张,尽量慢慢说,这样也让自己有考虑接下来要说什么的时间。
当然你平时最好就给自己一两个题目然后说,我有的时候睡不着就给自己一个题目,然后信口开河,要说出来不能在心里想,慢慢的就能形成自己一套的演讲方式,所有任何题目都可以往这一套演讲方式里面套。演讲技巧一般认为有以下几点:
1.做好演讲的准备
包括了解听众,熟悉主题和内容,搜集素材和资料,准备演讲稿,作适当的演练等。
2.选择优秀的演讲者
优秀的演讲者包括下述条件:(1)足够的权威性;(2)演讲者具有较强的语音能力和技巧:(3)演讲者的热情;(4)演讲者的理智与智慧;(5)演讲者的仪表状态
3.运用演讲艺术
包括开场白的艺术,结尾的艺术,立论的艺术,举例的艺术,反驳的艺术,幽默的艺术,鼓动的艺术,语音的艺术,表情动作的艺术等等,通过运用各种演讲艺术,使演讲具备两种力量:逻辑的力量和艺术的力量。
