The prologue is an important part of the speech. A good opening speech can firmly grasp the audience's attention and lay the foundation for the success of the whole speech. The usual opening remarks are to clarify the theme, explain the background, ask questions and so on. No matter what kind of opening remarks, the purpose is to let the audience immediately understand the theme of the speech, introduce the text and cause thinking.
The text of the speech is also the main body of the whole speech. The theme must have a key, well-defined and central statement. The hierarchical arrangement of speakers can be arranged in time or spatial order, or in parallel, with positive and negative contrast and gradual deepening. Because the speech materials are expressed orally, in order to facilitate the understanding of the audience, each paragraph should be coherent from top to bottom, with appropriate transition and care between paragraphs.
The end is the end of the speech. It has played a role in deepening the theme. The methods of ending include induction, quotation and rhetorical question. Induction is to summarize the central idea of a speech and emphasize the main points; The law of quotation is to quote famous sayings and aphorisms, sublimate the theme and leave thoughts; Rhetorical method is to arouse the audience's thinking and recognition of the speaker's point of view by asking questions. In addition, the end of the speech can also be ended with words of thanks, outlook and encouragement. In this way, the speech can be naturally wrapped up and left a deep impression on people.
Most speeches, like an argumentative essay, have main points and arguments. It is best to have only one theme in a speech, which is determined by the specific situation and timeliness of the speech. In a limited time, explain a problem or truth to the audience with the help of language and gestures, and at the same time convince the audience to highlight the theme and have a clear point of view when writing a speech.
The theme is selected, and the corresponding materials should be collected for demonstration. The choice of materials should be popular, and choose what most people know and understand, not what is too uncommon and few people know. Because the speech is conducted immediately, the audience has no time to verify or find the content or source of these materials. Therefore, before preparing a speech, we must first understand the audience: who they are, their ideological status, educational level, professional status, what issues they care about, and so on. Mastering the characteristics and psychology of the audience, on this basis, properly selecting and organizing materials is a necessary condition for the success of the speech.
Another special thing to pay attention to when writing a speech is to grasp the rhythm and time of the speech. Every speech has a time limit, from one minute to one or two hours or even one day. The speaker must grasp the speed and content of his speech, and there is still a period of time before the speech is over, and the speaker has nothing to say. Speech plays an extremely important role in grasping the speed and rhythm of speech. When writing, stop from time to time, read aloud at your normal speed, and adjust your speech content according to the result of reading. On the other hand, the content of the speech should be adjusted according to the length of the speech, so that the tone of the whole speech has ups and downs, the rhythm has priorities, the mood has ups and downs, and the ups and downs are moderate.
Finally, the speech should be emotional and the language should be vivid and touching. In the absence of time limit, try to be short and pithy, and stop abruptly before the audience is distracted, with a long aftertaste.
