To write a speech, we must first understand what a speech is. How is this style different from other written expressions? Speech is a style between spoken and written language. Different from ordinary written articles: (1) The way of feeling is different-ordinary written articles are for people to read, that is, the recognition of words by human visual organs causes the corresponding concepts (or representations) to move in the brain; Speech produces corresponding thinking activities through the recognition of speech by human auditory organs. Therefore, when writing a speech, we should pay more attention to the listening effect of the audience, especially in the choice of words and sentences, and don't use those words that are relatively uncommon and difficult to understand. (2) Different effects-generally written articles are suitable for individuals, that is, even if an article is to be circulated, it must be read by one reader in turn, and it is impossible for several people or even a group of people to read an article at the same time; The speech is an article for everyone to read. If the reader disagrees with the opinions or expressions in the written article, he can give up halfway without affecting others; Pay attention to the live effect in the speech. If the viewpoint is wrong and the language is used improperly, it will cause the audience to discuss and destroy the on-site effect.

The next thing to talk about is how to write a good speech. Write a good speech must pay attention to the following points:

(1) Strong pertinence and accurate examination-the content of the speech must be targeted. Generally speaking, speeches will have a designated theme, just like the propositional composition when students write a composition, such as me and the team, the beauty in life, and knowledge changes fate. Of course, sometimes the theme will be more principled, just like a semi-propositional composition. In a wider range, the speaker chooses his own starting point, such as "commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Long March of the Red Army" and "changes brought about by reform and opening up". When writing a speech, you must stick to the established theme and never let it go. For example, the theme you are asked to focus on is "Me and the team", but when you write a manuscript, you don't mention your team, but write about companies, workshops and other teams, which is too outrageous; Or write about your own team, but they all write about others in the team, without mentioning "I" own feelings in the team, which is also beside the point. So writing a speech is the same as writing a composition. First of all, we should examine the topic and find out what the theme should reflect and from which angle. So that the speech can be targeted.

(2) the content should be compact and personalized-you can start writing after the exam is clear, but there is a specified time in the general speech contest, and points will be deducted if it exceeds the specified time. Then, if you want to fully explain your views in a limited time and leave a deep impression on the audience, you must work hard on the selection and expression of content. Especially in the face of a broader theme, you will feel that there are too many examples to choose from and too much content to express. At this time, you should learn to "choose" and be good at selecting those examples that can best set off the theme from many examples and express them in concise language. For example, a company held a speech contest on the eve of July 1st with the theme of "Revisiting the Pledge of Joining the Party". In their speeches, many people recalled that they had faced party flag, raised their right hands and solemnly sworn in, and were determined to continue to maintain the advanced nature of party member and truly play a vanguard and exemplary role in their work. This kind of content is true, but it is too flat and has no personality. A doorman's speech was refreshing. He briefly reviewed his situation when he joined the party in the army. Then, at a turn, I talked about coming to this institution after I jumped ship. He has no professional skills and doesn't want to make progress. He must be a doorman. When he became a doorman, he still felt wronged, always feeling that he was "incompetent" and revisiting the oath of joining the party. It's like giving yourself a wake-up call, finding the direction of your efforts, and determined to cheer up and be yourself. Such a speech was full of flesh and blood and personality, and won applause from the audience.

(3) Examples should be accurate and touching-in order to express the theme, speeches must have exact examples as arguments, and examples alone are not enough. We should be good at choosing those cases that can touch people's hearts most, and we should not preach with empty theories. First of all, the examples should be in line with the theme. Secondly, the cited examples should be innovative, and the so-called "people are not talking, they are not talking". To quote ancient examples, we must have original opinions; If you want to quote today's examples, you'd better be familiar with them; If you want to quote an example that happened to you, it should inspire others. For example, the theme of a speech contest held by a company is "reading, the lifestyle I choose". A blind actor took the stage to give a speech. He described his unique way of reading, that is, constantly enriching himself by listening to the radio and reading Braille books. If he only talks about this process, the audience just admires and sympathizes with him, but he extracts his life sentiment from his own reading experience, which shows that everyone will encounter difficulties on the road of life, some of which seem insurmountable, but as long as they are not intimidated by difficulties, then no matter how big the difficulties are, they can be overcome. This philosophical exposition is very enlightening to the audience, and this speech is undoubtedly a success.

(4) The language should be vivid and infectious-a good speech is often a beautiful article. Various rhetorical devices can be used in speeches, such as parallelism, metaphor, analogy, rhetorical questions and rhetorical questions. When writing a speech, we should deliberately design some "climaxes", just like "shaking the baggage" in cross talk, to attract the attention of the audience. An orator once compared a good speaker to a "skilled pianist", that is, he should be good at "touching people's heartstrings, stimulating them, inspiring them and inspiring them" with vivid language. Some speeches are actually very touching, but the writers are not good at using accurate and vivid language, which makes the whole speech process difficult, rigid and "disgusting". It should also be noted that a speech is not a summary or report. Try to use long sentences and shout slogans as little as possible. Some people like to mix some classical Chinese or foreign languages in their speeches. It is also necessary to better explain your own point of view, but it is necessary to make an appropriate explanation after finishing the classical Chinese and foreign languages unfamiliar to the audience. If there are one or two "finishing touches" in the article, it will definitely impress the audience and benefit a lot.

Finally, briefly talk about the writing structure of the speech.

(1) usually begins with "get to the point", tell the speaker's intention directly, and don't beat around the bush, because you will spend all your time beating around the bush because your speaking time is limited. From a certain point of view, the speech is also a small paper, so it is clearer to show your point of view (argument) when you come up. But the beginning of the speech is also the most difficult to write. It should be direct and attract the audience. A good beginning can catch the audience's heart at once. In short, avoid rhetoric, empty talk and digression at the beginning, and go straight to the point.

(2) expand in the middle, fully expound the theme, and demonstrate the views from both positive and negative aspects; It can also be unfolded layer by layer like peeling bamboo shoots, and it is progressive and fascinating. But the unfolding part must stick to the theme, just like "Stars Holding the Moon", which has both "rotation" and "revolution". Everything is to express the theme, "branches and vines" should be deleted and the center should be highlighted.

(3) The ending should be strong, forming a bright spot and climax. A strong ending can leave a deep impression on the audience, give people aftertaste and thinking, and play the role of "stopping the text" and "lingering the sound".
