Excellent opening remarks can be used: rebound style, exaggeration style, advice style, famous saying style, direct style
1. Backlash style: the audience is dismissive of those mediocre arguments. , turn a deaf ear. Only those unexpected viewpoints and unexpected words will shock the hearts of the audience, attract the audience's attention, and achieve the effect of "everyone is shocked when these words are spoken". Therefore, when giving a speech on stage, in order to achieve the effect of "astonishing everyone", under certain circumstances, the speaker can ignore the audience's thinking and understanding range and deliberately do the opposite. This opening method is called the rebound style, sometimes also called "rebound pipa".
For example, at a theater writing seminar, an actress gave an impromptu speech. The first sentence she said was, "Today, I'm here to talk about love with everyone." When everyone in the audience was surprised, she went on to explain: "I'm here to talk about the actors' feelings and love for the script." The audience suddenly understood , continue to listen to her speech.
2. Exaggerated style: If you want to quickly attract the audience, your opening statement must be shocking. For example, describe an unusual scene vividly, list some shocking data quietly, or describe an alarming problem vividly. Because only in this way will the entire audience listen to your speech attentively, listen attentively, try to understand the gist of your narrative, and explore the reasons for your speech. The opening method mentioned above is called exaggeration, sometimes also called "surprising words". The effect of opening a speech in this way is quite good.
For another example, when Rebecca Witt gave a speech to college students, her opening remarks were also unique. After she came on stage, she said: "I am a seven-letter alphabet." Made up of words, I destroyed friendships, family ties, neighborliness, and classmates. I am the biggest killer among today's teenagers. I am not alcohol or cocaine. My name is suicide. "Witt paused. Said: "Why haven't senior high schools taken measures? As an integral part of daily curriculum, why do senior high schools lack a mandatory suicide prevention outline? These issues are very important, which is why I am here to give a speech today."
3. Advice-style: Advice-style opening remarks are a way for the speaker to take a serious attitude and explain the seriousness of something to the audience, so as to arouse everyone's alertness and thereby enhance the effect of the speech. . ?4. Famous sayings: classic aphorisms, commonly used proverbs, famous poems, famous quotes, etc. Because of their profound philosophy, rich emotions, beautiful language, and familiarity, they are deeply loved and recited by people. In addition, many people have a sense of admiration for famous quotes and recognize their authority and persuasiveness. Therefore, as a guest speaker, if you can appropriately use famous quotes to start your speech, the effect will be very good.
For example, the speech "Pursuing Excellence and Exceeding Expectations" begins as follows: "After the football king Pele scored 1,000 goals, a reporter asked him: 'Among the 1,000 goals, which one kicked the ball? "The best?" Bailey replied: "Next." So, striving for the "next" is the same quality for elite athletes and people from all walks of life. ”
5. Direct entry: This opening method is also called straight to the point. Its characteristics are very obvious: concise and concise, straight to the point, and straightforwardly explaining the subject of the speech.
For example, the famous badminton player Han Jian used this opening method in his report speech after returning from the honour: "Dear leaders, dear comrades: Hello everyone! I started when I was 17 years old. I have been engaged in badminton for 14 years. During these 14 years, I have experienced successes and failures; I have experienced the joy of becoming a world champion and the pain of consecutive defeats. Today, I don’t want to show off. How to 'pass five hurdles and kill six generals', I only want to seriously talk about 'walking through the city' because I firmly believe that success stories are often magnified and distorted, and the experience of failure is real and not empty?"
