1. Start with an attractive voice.
The beginning of a speech, also called prologue, is like the "town hall" at the beginning of a drama, which occupies an important position in the whole article.
There are several ways to get started:
Cut to the chase and get to the point.
This kind of beginning does not beat around the bush, cut to the chase, and put forward your own views from the beginning. For example, in 194 1, Liebknecht's statement in the German parliament opposing military appropriations began by saying, "I voted against this proposal for the following reasons."
? State the facts and explain the background
It is easier to attract people's attention and attract the audience to listen by reporting some new facts to the audience at the beginning. For example, at the beginning of Stalin's "Radio Speech" on July 3, 194 1: "Hitler's perfidious military attack on our motherland has continued since June 22. Although the Red Army fought bravely, although the enemy's elite divisions and its elite air force were defeated and buried in the battlefield, the enemy still transferred fresh troops from the front line and continued to break through. ..... Our motherland is facing serious danger. "
Ask questions and make people think.
Ask questions to guide the audience to think about a question, create suspense and arouse the audience's expectation of knowing the answer. For example, Xiao Qu's life, ideal and pursuit began like this: "How should a person treat his youth? I want to talk to you about my situation here. "
Quote epigrams and lead to the following.
Quote a profound and thought-provoking epigram, which leads to the following contents. For example, a college student's speech entitled "My Thinking and Rise" was wonderful at the beginning: "If a person has never been confused in his life, he has never thought."
There are still some methods at the beginning, so I won't list them one by one. In a word, no matter what form you take at the beginning, you must have a voice and charm.
2. The main part should be unfolded layer by layer and pushed to the climax step by step.
The main body of the speech should be unfolded layer by layer and pushed to the climax step by step. The so-called climax is the most exciting and exciting part of the speech. The writing of the main part should convince the audience step by step in theory, attract the audience step by step in content and infect the audience step by step in emotion. It is necessary to carefully arrange the structural levels, deepen them layer by layer, and interlock them, which will naturally push them to a climax.
The main part can be expanded in the following three ways:
Parallel type.
The juxtaposition is expressed from different angles and sides around the central argument of the speech, and its structural form is radial in all directions, just like the axle of a wheel and its spokes. And each side directly faces the central argument and proves the central argument.
Progress.
That is, starting from the surface and shallow layers, the method of gradual deepening and layer-by-layer promotion is adopted, and the profound theme is finally revealed, just like peeling bamboo shoots layer by layer. Using this method to arrange the structural level of the speech can make things thoroughly expounded and proved from the outside to the inside.
Parallel and progressive combination.
This structure contains either progression in juxtaposition or juxtaposition in progression. This method is often used in some grand speeches.
3. The ending should be crisp, concise and powerful.
The end of the speech is the inevitable result of the development of the main content. There are many ways to end it, either induction, sublimation, hope or calling. A good ending should be the length of the whole article, concise, concise and powerful, and avoid gilding the lily and adding details.
