When students take part in the speech contest, there are some problems that should be fully considered before the contest. The author summed up some of his ideas when he was a judge as "five essentials".
First, we should have a correct attitude. As a contestant, we must first correct our attitude towards the competition. Generally speaking, there are four methods and forms of speech: reading speech, off-script speech, outline speech and impromptu speech. Generally speaking, the speech contest should be a ready-made speech, and whether the speech can be ready-made is a matter of the attitude of the contestants. Now that you have signed up for the competition, you should be fully prepared before the competition, and the content of the speech must be kept in mind. According to the notes, it is absolutely impossible. Secondly, the Putonghua level of the contestants in the speech contest is an important basis for scoring, which also examines the attitude of the contestants from another angle. In the keynote speech contest, the speaker's manuscripts are written and memorized before the game. Even if there are unreadable words, you can check them in advance and read them accurately.
Second, the rules should be familiar. As a form of competition, speech has certain rules and requirements. The requirements of keynote speech contest are generally divided into speech content, language expression, image and demeanor, and speech effect. Participants must fully understand these rules before the competition. Some speech contests include a "time limit" score. Every contestant in the speech contest has a certain time limit to take the stage. Generally, overtime or time less than 30 seconds-1 minute will be deducted, which requires the contestants to add or delete their own manuscripts appropriately and do a good job of "trial lecture" before the game.
Third, the appearance should be dignified. The speaker made a speech alone in front of the audience. In this way, it is inevitable to directly impress the visual organs of the audience with the overall image, including body shape, appearance, clothing, hairstyle, manners and so on. And the beauty and ugliness of the whole subject image (reprinted from http://, please keep this mark. ), generally speaking, it not only directly affects the communication of the speaker's thoughts and feelings, but also directly affects the psychological mood of the audience. This requires speakers to have certain decorative beauty on the basis of natural beauty. This kind of decorative beauty is different from the personalized and artistic decorative beauty of stage art, and it is a realistic decorative beauty based on speech itself. On the premise of conforming to the thoughts and feelings of the speech, we should pay attention to the simplicity, naturalness, lightness and appropriateness of the decoration, as well as the chic, generous and elegant manners and manners. Only in this way can it be conducive to the exchange of thoughts and feelings and the good effect of the speech. Before taking part in the speech contest, students should check carefully by themselves or ask their classmates and friends to help them "review".
Fourth, the content should be appropriate. Theme is the central idea or basic viewpoint to be expressed by the speaker in his speech, which embodies the overall view of the speaker on the problems expounded, and is the "soul" and "commander in chief" of the whole speech. There are four principles in the choice of topic and content: consistent topic, moderate size, proper wording and identity. In the keynote speech contest, the theme of the speech is stipulated before the game, and the content of the speech must be correct, vivid, concentrated and profound.
The fifth is to grasp skills. Speech is an art, which requires certain skills.
First of all, we should make clear the difference between speech, recitation and report. Speech is different from recitation. The categories of speech and recitation are different. Speech belongs to spiritual practical art, focusing on propaganda and agitation, while recitation belongs to performing art, focusing on appreciation. The topic of the speech has strong reality and times, and the materials recited have great transcendence; Speech pays attention to passion, its language is special, it has active stage language and staged life language. The speech should be passionate (climax), and the recitation should pursue artistic conception. Its language belongs to the language of stage performance. The speech is also different from the general report. Content, the report focuses on policy, authority and guidance. The speech pays attention to typicality and distinctiveness; Linguistically, the report requires conciseness, emotional expression does not require ups and downs, and the tone is stable.
Secondly, we should pay attention to some details. For example, be familiar with the venue, audience, lecture notes, appropriate speech speed, appropriate body language and reasonable form.
