First, it makes sense.
If you say that this man is eloquent, he must be telling the truth, not a fallacy or nonsense. This is the first criterion of eloquence.
Second, there is substance in words.
Speak with thought, content, and things, not nothing.
Third, speak in an orderly way.
What you say should be clear, not chaotic.
Fourth, there are articles in the text.
When speaking, the language should be accurate, concise, vivid, vivid, lively, literary and artistic, so that people are willing to listen, not boring, like chewing wax.
Fifth, the words are affectionate.
The whole process of your speech should be full of emotion, so that you can be reasonable, not ruthless.
To sum up, well-founded, well-founded, well-founded, well-founded, well-founded, well-founded. With these five points, we can say that this population is good. What kind of person has no eloquence? He seldom speaks, even if he blushes and has a thick neck, he speaks generously, and there is nothing to say in a few words. We say such people have no eloquence. There is also a poor population, that is, on the surface, this person is very talkative. What is he talking about? Chattering, boasting, rambling, wordless, like a beggar, can you say that he has eloquence? Obviously, this is not eloquence. We should not be fooled by this illusion.
Meaning: A three-inch golden tongue is better than a million teachers.
What is the meaning and value of eloquence? I can tell comrades that eloquence is as important as you said. Comrades will say, are you exaggerating a little? Actually, it is not. In ancient times, there was a literary theorist named Liu Xie, who had two famous sayings: one person's argument is better than Jiuding's treasure, and a three-inch golden tongue is better than a million teachers. ? Right? I think it's right. I might as well give a few examples.
When Qin Jin joined forces to fight Zheng, Zheng was still a small country. Under the pressure of the two armies, Zheng went from top to bottom.
At a loss. Military commanders are afraid to go out, and civil servants have no choice. Finally, the king of Zheng had to let the veteran Zhu Wu go to Qin himself. In times of crisis, the martial arts of candlelight went to Qin Jun to find the king of Qin. He speaks sincerely, moves with emotion, and understands with reason. He finally persuaded the king of Qin to retreat immediately and left two generals to help defend Zheng. The state of Jin had no choice but to retreat. Isn't this the power of the tongue? He beat back the two armies in Qin Jin with his own words. During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang fought side by side with the civil and military officials, and finally established a United front, uniting Wu against Cao, which eventually led to the so-called? Eight hundred thousand troops? Almost all Cao Bing were buried in the surging Yangtze River. Isn't this the power of eloquence? Imagine what would happen if Liu Bei released Zhang Fei? Isn't this the function and value of eloquence?
In our daily life, we also need eloquence. As the saying goes, a good word is warm in three winters, and a bad word is cold in June; A word makes people laugh, a word makes people jump. In today's harmonious society, if you can talk, you won't quarrel and fight, and comrades will be very harmonious. It can be seen that the significance and function of eloquence can not be underestimated, no matter how big or small.
Function: eloquence improves the probability of success
All walks of life, all fields, no matter what job they are engaged in, whether they have eloquence or not is very different. With eloquence, you will accelerate your success, improve the probability of success, and play a key role at critical moments.
What is success? It is a person who has achieved the expected goal through his own efforts. Of course, in the whole human society, there are also some great successes, some small successes and some moderate successes. For example, Bill in America? Gates, Li Ka-shing of China and Hongkong, also made great achievements in the whole business field. Yuan Longping, the father of rice, was also a great achiever. Everyone here has his own success in his post. For example, once high school students pass the college entrance examination, they are successful. It is also a success for self-employed people to make money through their own efforts. So there are different levels of success. Looking back, what does this success have to do with eloquence? We can say that in some fields and industries, some people may not be eloquent when they succeed. Chen Jingrun succeeded, but Chen Jingrun had no eloquence. We can sum up that talents may not be eloquent, but they must be eloquent. It will help you succeed, accelerate your success, improve your probability of success in the whole life journey, and play a decisive role at critical times.
At present, the leadership competition speech is being carried out, and college students should introduce themselves when applying, so eloquence is becoming more and more important. The same two people compete for a position. When two people have similar abilities, it can be said that a person with good eloquence can guarantee to stand out. To compete for a middle school teacher, you have to give a class first. If you speak brilliantly, you are sure to be hired. If you don't speak well, you will definitely be eliminated. Let me give two examples of drivers. The unit should streamline its staff from two drivers to one driver. The first driver said a lot about how to drive a good car and how to provide good service. The second driver said a few words. I have done this before, and I will do it again. I just can't listen, eat or drive. ? As soon as the leader listens, he will feel that this driver is good. At first, he couldn't say it, indicating that confidentiality is good; Second, it is not allowed to eat and drink, and the safety of leaders can be guaranteed without drinking; The third one can't be opened, which shows that public and private are clear. The second driver spoke with emphasis, concise language and clear understanding, and was hired by the unit. This also shows that eloquence has made him.
Methods: Eloquence is acquired.
Some people say that it is good to have a population. Is this eloquence natural or acquired? We say eloquence is not.
Born, but acquired. It can be said that all skills are practiced, so are calligraphy, painting, singing and eloquence. Let me give you some examples.
Lincoln, the sixteenth president of the United States, had no money since he was a child, but he wanted to be an orator. what should he do ？ He walked 30 miles to listen to the preacher. On the way back, he learned the voice and gestures of missionaries, and sometimes he practiced speaking for his audience with stumps and cornfields. Many things happen. Finally, he became a world-famous speaker and orator.
Dr. Sun Yat-sen is also a great speaker. Later, many old people who participated in the Revolution of 1911 recalled that they only participated in the Revolution of 1911 after listening to Dr. Sun Yat-sen's speech. Sun Yat-sen once said: I practice speaking in my spare time, practicing in front of the mirror, practicing my tone and posture? It can be seen that Dr. Sun Yat-sen's eloquence is also practiced. From the above examples, we can say with certainty that eloquence is not born, but acquired. Every friend should have firm confidence. Anyone can cultivate his eloquence as long as he is willing to work hard and practice.
Internal skill: seven qualities and four abilities.
If a person wants to talk eloquently, he must have two skills: one is internal work, and the other is external work. What is internal strength? Lu You's son wrote to Lu You and wanted to learn poetry. Lu You sent him a letter, which said: If you want to learn poetry, your kung fu is beyond poetry. ? Similarly, in order to really be eloquent, kung fu is beyond eloquence. This is what I call internal strength, and it is also your accomplishment and ability. If you want to be an orator, an orator and a conversationalist, and you want to speak well in various occasions, you must have the following qualities and abilities.
First of all, you have to have noble character. Why do you say that? "On" said:? It is upright and does not command; His body is not straight, although he disobeys. ? Our speeches, debates and conversations are all aimed at persuading, enlightening and educating people. Do you want to educate people? First of all, you should do it yourself, otherwise people will not listen to you. For example, as a cadre, to be honest, you must be honest first, but you are either corrupt or accepting bribes. How can you be convincing? How did the audience listen to you? Therefore, if you want to talk eloquently, you must have noble moral quality.
Second, as a person who wants to talk eloquently, he must have a certain talent. For example, writing ability, organization and coordination ability, communication and public relations ability, at least some performance. If you don't have this talent, how can you fully express your thoughts and feelings such as happiness, anger, sadness and joy, and influence and enlighten the audience?
Third, you should also be knowledgeable. We often say that as a teacher, to give students a bucket of water, we must have a jar of water. As an eloquent person, if you want to enlighten and educate people, if you have little knowledge, how can you educate and influence people?
Fourth, you have to be knowledgeable, that is, as an eloquent person, you should stand tall, far-sighted and superior. Why should we listen to the leader? Some leaders spoke very well, but the good thing is that their views are novel and profound, which makes us feel refreshed after listening. But people don't want to listen to some leaders' speeches, which are either rhetoric, empty talk or words in newspapers and periodicals. Their views are neither novel nor profound. Who wants to hear your speech? Therefore, as an eloquent man, he can only be far-sighted, think what others have never thought of and say what others have never said. Once he speaks, he can inspire, enlighten and educate people.
Fifth, you must have courage, that is, you must have courage. This courage has two aspects: the first is to dare to speak not only in conversation, but also in public. This is a kind of courage. The second kind of courage means that under any circumstances, you can clearly express your point of view, and you must never hesitate to say it over and over again, so that the audience will not listen.
Sixth, deep affection. This is what we call feeling. As we all know, it is reasonable when it is reasonable, and it is difficult to be reasonable when it is unreasonable. If you want to convince the audience of your truth, you must first have rich feelings.
But to move the audience, to move the audience, the audience can love to listen and listen, to act.
Seventh, we should have a good body. Why do you say that? When making a speech as a speaker, a speech takes two or three hours, and it is very tiring to stand and talk. Without good health, you can't persist.
To sum up, if you want to be eloquent and become an orator, you must be virtuous, talented, knowledgeable, courageous, affectionate and decent. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to talk eloquently and become an orator.
The above seven points are not enough to constitute the internal strength of eloquence. If you want to be eloquent, you must have the following abilities: First, as a person with good eloquence, you must have a strong memory.
Second, as an eloquent person, you must have keen observation. Only with keen observation, can we understand the psychological changes of the audience by observing words and deeds, and can we convince the audience in a targeted manner.
Third, we must have strong imagination and association. Only two? Force? Only in this way can you improve your oral expression ability. To illustrate this problem, I might as well tell you a short story. As we all know, Emperor Qianlong had a minister named Xiao Shenyang, who was a wily man. On one occasion, Xiao Shenyang tried to tease Ji Xiaolan. Two people were sitting in the garden drinking tea when suddenly a dog came. At that time, Shenyang was a minister and Ji Xiaolan was an assistant minister. This official is smaller than the minister's official. Little Shenyang had a brainwave and asked Ji Xiaolan, pointing to the dog. Is it a wolf or a dog? Did he use homophones and questions? On the surface, he seems to be asking Ji Xiaolan if he is a wolf or a dog. Actually, assistant minister Ji Xiaolan is a dog. What should Ji Xiaolan do? What is the answer? Ji Xiaolan is very witty. Shangshu (Shangshu) is a dog and drooping is a wolf. ? You may not have noticed that the dog's tail is upright and the wolf's tail is drooping. If Ji Xiaolan's thinking is not agile and his reaction is not rapid, and if Ji Xiaolan has no imagination and no associative power, how can he make Shenyang instantly fall into an embarrassing predicament?
Fourth, we must have the ability to adapt. What is resilience? When encountering sudden emergencies, we can handle them skillfully and appropriately. We say this is the ability to cope. Let me give you two examples. There was a German poet named Goethe, and Goethe and a critic were almost sworn enemies. One day, two people met in the park, and only one person could walk on the park path. The critic is very proud of Goethe and thinks he is great. When two people were about to meet, the critic stood there and said, well, I have been reluctant to give way to fools. ? In fact, it is very difficult for two people now. If Goethe said, I will not give way to fools. ? Just stand two people, you can't fight, but you can't stand endlessly. Goethe's reaction was very quick. He stood politely and said, I'm just the opposite of you. ? In fact, what he means is that I am willing to make way for fools. As we all know, Bernard Shaw, an English writer, is very thin. A fat capitalist saw him and said, as soon as I saw you, I knew there was a famine in the world. ? Bernard Shaw said at once. Seeing you, I know the cause of famine in this world. ?
For another example, as soon as a speaker came on stage, he tripped over the microphone cord and fell down, and the following burst into laughter. The speaker stood up, went to the microphone and immediately said, My friends, I am flattered by your's applause. Thank you. ? Win the applause of the audience immediately. How resourceful the speaker is! When we speak at ordinary times, no one can guarantee the accuracy of every sentence, which is impossible. At this time, you need your adaptability.
To sum up, a person must have at least the above seven qualities and four abilities if he wants to talk eloquently.
External Skill: From Mouth to Body
You have internal strength, namely: morality, talent, learning, knowledge, courage, emotion and physique. So, how to express it? How to let the audience know? This requires external work, mainly in two aspects: one is the kung fu in the mouth, which is what we call spoken English; One is body kung fu, which is what we call body language. Let's talk about these two languages separately.
First, oral English. It consists of two elements: semantics and sound. This requires us to speak accurately, concisely, vividly and vividly, and to pronounce clearly, accurately, changefully and persistently, so that the audience can enjoy listening, listening, thinking and learning. So, how can I make my oral expression fluent, smooth and approachable? Here is a three-reading method for your reference.
1. Read silently. You can find two or three essays with strong thoughts and high artistry. How many times should you read these essays silently? Why do you read silently? What are the themes of these articles that you should understand by reading silently? What do you mean? How is the structure arranged? How does it choose materials around the theme? How is its language used? This kind of silent reading helps us to master the composition of the article, which is beneficial to the theme establishment, material selection, structural arrangement and language use in our future speeches, conversations and debates.
2. Read aloud. Read these articles aloud several times on the basis of silent reading. When reading aloud, we must decide which place should be fast, which place should be slow, which place should be loud, which place should be deep, which place should have a long pause time and which place should have a short pause time according to the ideological content and emotion of the article. Read aloud with emotion, make the whole voice cadence, and fully express your thoughts and feelings with your own voice.
3. read quickly. The fast reading mentioned here is the sooner the better. This is my own personal experience. As we all know, everyone has different thinking. Some people are quick, others are slow. People's words and deeds are closely related to the whole thinking. The faster you speak, the more agile your mind will be. On the contrary, if you think more quickly, you will speak faster. They complement each other. If we practice fast reading, not only will your oral expression be very agile when you need it, but it will also promote the agility of your brain thinking. Maybe friends will say, how fast? I can see as fast as a machine gun and jump.
As long as you can stick to this three-reading method for a period of time and meet our requirements, your oral expression will pass, that is, you will have eloquence.
Second, body language. What is body language? Generally speaking, it is your body, your standing posture, your facial expression, your eyes, your gestures, which are all body language. These body languages can accurately express the speaker's thoughts and feelings, and they closely cooperate with the audio language (of course, speaking is the main part, and performance only plays an auxiliary role), and act on the audience's auditory organs and visual organs respectively, so as to achieve the best effect of information exchange.
