The best effect pursued at the end of the speech is "a three-day tour around the beam". Humor is the most interesting of all kinds of speech endings. So what are the taboos at the end of the speech? What are the skills? The following is what I collected for you. Welcome to learn from it.
At the end of a speech, many people often say, "I think I have said enough." Or "I don't know if I made this clear." Or "I'm usually not very excited, maybe it's the coffee." Such a conclusion seems humorous, but it is enough to ruin the whole speech.
First, the speech conclusion taboo
The speech is exquisite, and the conclusion of the speech is taboo. Remind you not to end your speech in the following ways:
1, hastily ended, perfunctory
Like a speaker who forgot to stop, the speaker who suddenly ended did the opposite. Everyone in the audience sat there, listening to the speech with relish, and then suddenly the speaker said "thank you", and the speech came to an abrupt end without any advance greetings. The speaker left no clue to the audience that the speech was coming to an end, and missed a great opportunity to give the audience a strong ending.
2. Pretend to be modest and insincere
Oh, you're relieved to know that I'm almost finished. I'm sorry, after talking for so long, I can see that you may have heard many such speeches in the past. Honestly, I don't want to talk about it tonight. There are many people who speak better than me, but please take care of me anyway. Some speakers always say a few words of modesty or apology after the speech, and even some speakers even say a few sarcastic words after the speech, because some listeners didn't pay much attention. This is not only superfluous, but also shows that the speaker's ideological level is low. Every speaker should have a correct attitude and get rid of stereotypes.
3, drag mud and water, gild the lily
Some speakers have already said what they should say, but they have said something irrelevant or irrelevant to the subject, which is tantamount to rock the boat and is the biggest offense to the audience. It will not only confuse the audience's thoughts and destroy the audience's emotions, but also dilute what was said earlier. The speaker must be cruel, remove those irrelevant words from the end, stop when it breaks, stop when it stops, and never gild the lily. There is a good saying: the ending without conclusion is weak, but the endless ending is frightening. Because of the delay in time, let the audience suffer. A speaker is good at ending his speech with the most accurate, general and philosophical language, which is the most powerful.
Step 4 admit your mistake
For example, "I want to say at the end of the speech, oh, it suddenly occurred to me that I had completely forgotten what I was going to say at the beginning of the speech, that is, when the audience was" relaxed ",the speaker suddenly raised another key point. If your speech is carefully planned and prepared, such negligence should not happen. Maybe we were going to say something, but we didn't say it, but it is impossible for our audience to know it. Our concluding remarks should not put forward another argument at an inappropriate time, and of course, we should not casually mention "Oh, there is one thing I forgot to mention, that is," If you want to put forward another argument at the end of your speech, it will naturally be mixed with your speech, so don't remind people that you really forgot what you should have mentioned earlier.
Don't use a tone or style that is not in harmony with the rest of the speech in the concluding remarks. If you keep the audience laughing all the time during the speech, and then suddenly use heavy and negative language, the audience will be disappointed.
Don't use the words "summary" and "summary" anywhere during the speech unless the speech is really coming to an end. Because this will make some listeners think that the speech is over and distract them, only to find that the speech is still going on.
Second, humorous ending skills
A speaker can win laughter at the end, which not only shows that his speech skills are very mature, but also leaves good memories for himself and his audience, and is also a sign of the successful conclusion of his speech. So, how can we achieve this effect?
1, end the speech with humorous language.

Mr Lao She, a famous writer in China, is very humorous. At the beginning of a speech in a city, he said, "I want to talk to you about six questions today." Then, he spoke first, second, third, fourth and fifth in an orderly way. After talking about the fifth question, he found that there was not much time left for the meeting, so he raised his voice and said solemnly, "Sixth, dismiss the meeting." The audience was shocked at first, and soon clapped happily. Lao She used an art of "making waves" here, which broke the normal speech content, thus bringing surprises to the audience and receiving humorous effects.

The tea party for graduates of the Chinese Department of a university began with a speech by the secretary of the General Party Branch of the department. The three-minute impromptu speech was mainly to congratulate the graduates. Then Professor Peng gave a speech, the theme of which was to hope that the students would continue to study hard, and also quoted Lenin's famous words.

First of all, I want to wish the students a smooth graduation! Secondly, I hope students will' study, study and study again'. Thirdly, I hope my classmates can fight the storm of life bravely like Haiyan. Laughter and applause.

Punning, full of fun, the audience laughed, and the audience's fatigue and fatigue were swept away in the laughter.
3. End the speech with humorous actions.
Although such examples are rare, they cast pearls before swine.
James Lowell, an American poet and literary critic, gave an impromptu speech at a dinner in London when he was ambassador to Britain in 1883. Finally, he said, "I heard a story when I was very young. It's about an American Methodist minister. He preached in a camping sermon and told the story of Joshua. He began by saying, "Believers, there are three ways to kill the sun. The first way is forward or straight forward; The second is to move backward or backward; The third is mentioned in our scripture-standing still. Gentlemen, I don't know if you understand the moral of this story. I want you to know. After dinner tonight, the speaker first got up and left his seat to demonstrate in a straight direction-that is, the forward movement of the sun. Then he came back and began to repeat his action-the backward movement of the sun. Finally, with a good sense of direction, bring yourself to the end. This is what we just said about the static motion of the sun. " In laughter, Lowell sat down again.
This vivid expression of sticking to the topic is vivid and seamless. How can we not win warm applause and laughter from the audience!
There are countless humorous endings of speeches. The key is that the speaker should have a sense of humor and properly grasp the atmosphere of the speech and the mentality of the audience in the speech, so that the conclusion of the speech can receive the sensational effect of "reverberation around the beam for three days".
