Eloquence is not a natural talent, it is acquired through hard training. All eloquent and eloquent speakers and orators in history, both ancient and modern, both at home and abroad. They all achieved success through hard training. Eloquence, as defined in the Modern Chinese Dictionary, is: the ability to speak nouns. Shao Shouyi, a famous Chinese speaker, "the pioneer of the speech career in New China" and China's first professor of speechology, has a famous saying: "A talent does not necessarily have eloquence, and eloquence must be a talent." People with eloquence speak with "the words have meaning." Things, words are orderly, words are reasonable, words are emotional" and other characteristics. Some scholars further define eloquence more clearly as: in the process of oral communication, the expressive subject uses accurate, appropriate, vivid, ingenious and effective oral expression strategies to achieve specific communication purposes and achieve satisfactory communication effects. and skills.

Folding of eloquence training methods

Speed ??reading method

The "reading" here refers to reading aloud, which is to read with your mouth, not with your eyes. , as the name suggests, "speed reading" means reading aloud quickly.

The purpose of this training method is to train people to be articulate, have accurate pronunciation and clear enunciation.

Recitation method

We have all memorized texts. There are poems, essays, and novels. The purpose of recitation varies. Some are forced to memorize because the teacher requires them to memorize in order to complete the learning tasks assigned by the teacher; others are to memorize certain famous poems and lines to enrich their literary quality. The main purpose of the recitation we advocate is to exercise our eloquence.

The recitation we require does not just require you to memorize a certain speech or prose to complete the task. The recitation we require requires both "memorization" and "recitation." This kind of training has two purposes: one is to cultivate memory ability, and the other is to cultivate oral expression ability.

Memory is an essential quality for practicing eloquence. Without good memory, it is impossible to cultivate export. Only when you have fully accumulated knowledge in your brain can you speak freely and talk endlessly. If your mind is blank, then no matter how sharp your tongue is, it will not help. Memory, like eloquence, is not an innate talent. Acquired training also plays a vital role in it. "Memorization" is the cultivation of this ability.

Voice training method

Voice training means practicing voice and throat. In life, we all like to listen to those full, round, pleasant sounds, rather than dry, weak, hoarse and dry sounds. Therefore, it is necessary for us to develop a good voice and develop a pleasant voice.

The method of practicing voice is: the first step is to practice Qi. As the saying goes, when practicing voice, you must first practice Qi. Breath is the driving force for human body to produce sound, just like the engine on a car. It is the basis for sound production. The size of the breath is directly related to the sound production. Lack of breath, weak voice, excessive exertion, and damage to the vocal cords. Therefore, when we practice voice, we must first learn to use Qi.

Inhale: Inhale deeply, contract your lower abdomen, open your entire chest, and try to inhale as much air as possible. We can experience how you inhale when you smell a fragrance. Be careful not to lift your shoulders when inhaling.

Exhale: Exhale slowly. Let the breath come out slowly. Because when we speak, recite, or debate, we sometimes need to take longer breaths. This can only be achieved by exhaling slowly and long. When exhaling, you can basically close your teeth. Leave a small gap for the breath to pass through slowly.

You should do more exercises like this here:

① Take a deep breath. Count and see how many you can count.

②Run about 20 meters, and then read a text aloud, trying to avoid gasping.

③ Read the following idioms according to the requirements of correct words and accents:

Heroes, heroes, strong soldiers, strong horses, rushing to be the first, aboveboard, foresighted and foresighted

Plenty of fruits, colorful, bright-eyed, mirage, indecisive

④Read and practice passwords

A. The pacesetters from all directions rushed to the north slope, and the artillerymen lined up on the north slope. The artillerymen were afraid of touching the pacesetters, and the pacesetters were afraid of touching the artillery guns.

B. If you cross a wide ditch with a melon basket on your back, cross the ditch quickly to see the strange dog; just look at the strange dog and buckle the melon basket, and look at the dog if the melon basket is empty.

C. Hong Xiaobo and Bai Xiaoguo were collecting radishes in baskets. Hong Xiaobo collected a basket of white radishes, and Bai Xiaoguo collected a basket of carrots. I don’t know whether Hong Xiaobo harvested more white radishes or Bai Xiaoguo harvested more red radishes.

Retelling method

Simply put, the paraphrasing method is to repeat what others have said. This method is often used in the classroom. For example, the teacher asks students to watch a slide, and then asks the students to retell the plot of the slide or the dialogue of the characters. The purpose of this training method is to exercise people's memory, reaction and language coherence.

The method is: choose an article of appropriate length and a certain plot. It is best to use a narrative paragraph in a novel or a speech, and then ask students who are good at reading to read it. It is best to record it with a tape recorder, and then listen to it and retell it again and again, and repeat it many times. Until I can completely retell this work.

When retelling, you can record the content of the first retelling, and then compare it with the original text to see how much you can retell. Repeat it and read it as many times as you can before you can retell the entire content. This kind of practice is not just about reciting, but also about practicing language coherence. It would be even better if you can retell it in front of everyone. It can also exercise your courage and overcome nervousness.

Imitation

Each of us has been imitating since childhood, imitating what adults do and what adults say. In fact, the process of imitation is also a learning process. When we were young, we learned to speak from our father, mother and the people around us, and imitated the people around us. Then we can also use imitation to practice eloquence and imitate people who are expert in this field. In this way, over time, our oral expression skills will be improved.

The method is:

①Imitate the expert. Find a person in your life who has strong oral expression skills, ask him to say a few of his most exciting words, and record them for you to imitate. You can also record the voices of announcers and actors that you like and are suitable for you to imitate, and then imitate them.

②Special imitation.

③Imitate at any time. We listen to the radio, watch TV, and movies every day, so you can imitate the announcer, presenter, or actor at any time. Pay attention to his voice, tone, expression, and movements, and imitate while listening and imitate while watching. Over time, your speaking skills will improve. And it will increase your vocabulary and enhance your literary knowledge.

The requirements here are to imitate as closely as possible, imitating the tone, speaking speed, expression, movements and other aspects of the imitation object, and to be creative in imitation, and strive to surpass the other person in imitation.

Description method

When we were young, we all learned to talk by looking at pictures. The description method is similar to this kind of talking by looking at pictures, but we have to look at more than just pictures in books. , as well as some scenes, events, objects, and people in life, and the requirements are higher than talking through pictures. Simply put, the description method is to express the scenery, things, objects and people you see in descriptive language.

Role-playing method

We also borrow the word role from dramas and movies. A character in a play or movie played by an actor. The characters we have here have the same meaning as the characters in dramas and movies.

The role-playing method requires us to learn to act like actors and play different characters that appear in the work. Of course, this acting is mainly based on language.

The method is:

①Choose a novel or drama with a plot and characters as the material.

② Analyze the selected materials, especially the language characteristics of the characters.

③According to the number of characters in the work, find classmates to play different roles. Compare and see who can play their role most accurately.

④ One person can also play multiple roles to develop his or her language adaptability.

The purpose of this kind of training is to cultivate people's language adaptability, personality, and appropriate expressions and movements.

Storytelling

Students may have heard stories, but haven’t they all told them? Telling a story seems easy, but it is not so easy to actually tell it. As the saying goes: "Looking at flowers is easy, but embroidering is difficult"! Listening to others tell stories is vivid and attractive. Some friends even forget to eat and sleep when they listen to the stories. But when they tell the stories themselves, it seems that it is not the same, dry and unattractive. Therefore, storytelling is also a talent, and not everyone can tell it well. Learning to tell stories is a great way to practice your eloquence.

Practical training

When you speak in front of different audiences on different occasions, if you have stage fright, flushed face, blank mind, confused thinking, and incoherent words due to nervousness; When there is no object, unclear organization; no literary talent, no new ideas; lack of appeal, attraction, persuasion... When the etiquette speech and eloquence training school passes a large number of scenes (classrooms, parks, squares, bus stops, buses ), multiple audiences (more than 100-150 unfamiliar audiences), multiple topics (proposed speeches, impromptu speeches), and multiple practices (more than 60 times per person) experiential 3A nuclear energy practical training to help you solve problems that you dare to speak and speak skillfully question.
