Writing a speech is in many ways like writing a paper, except that there is no penalty for spelling and punctuation errors. Try not to use words you are not comfortable pronouncing or don't know the meaning of because it can lead to a less fluently delivered speech.

從很多方面來說，寫演講稿就像寫論文，但演講稿卻沒有像論文那般特別注重單詞的拼寫與標(biāo)點的錯誤。寫演講稿的時候，不要用一些發(fā)音不順暢或是你不明白意思的單詞，因為會導(dǎo)致你的演講不夠流暢。

Instructions

說明

1. Assess how much time your speech should take. If you don't have a time limit, try to keep your speech brief yet informative.

估算自己演講所需的時間。如果沒有演講上的時間限制，就盡量讓你的演講篇幅簡短且內(nèi)容豐富。

2. Think about your audience and let your perception of the audience shape the tone of your speech as you write it.

站在聽眾的角度多想想，當(dāng)你撰寫演講稿時，你要讓觀眾也能在演講稿中切身體會你的演講魅力。

3. Begin with an introduction that establishes who you are, what your purpose is, what you'll be talking about and how long you're going to take. You may want to include a joke, anecdote or interesting fact to grab the audience's attention.

先介紹自己，以表述演講目的、演講主題和演講時長作為開端。在這段話中，你要說一個笑話、奇聞奇事或趣事來直接引起聽眾的注意。

4. Organize your information into three to seven main points and prioritize them according to importance and effectiveness.

用3-7條大綱組織演講內(nèi)容信息，并根據(jù)重要性和有效性分清要點主次。

5. Delete points that aren't crucial to your speech if you have too many for your time frame.

假如時間不允許，你可以刪減一些演講中不重要的點。

6. Start with your most important point, then go to your least important point and move slowly back toward the most important. For example, if you have five points with No. 5 being the most important and No. 1 being the least important, your presentation order would be 5-1-2-3-4.

6，從最重要的一點開始你的演講，之后到次重要點，然后再慢慢回到最重要點上。例如，你的演講稿中有5點要講，第5點是其中的重中之重，而第1點是次重要點，你的演講順序應(yīng)為：51234。

7. Add support to each point using statistics, facts, examples, anecdotes, quotations or other supporting material.

借助圖表、事實、例子、奇聞軼事、引文與其它材料作為演講點的支撐部分。

8. Link your introduction, points and conclusions together with smooth transitions.

引言、演講要點和結(jié)論連貫順承地串在一起。

9. Write a conclusion that summarizes each of your points, restates your main purpose and leaves the audience with a lasting impression.

用結(jié)論總結(jié)所有演講點，重申主題，讓觀眾留下最后的深刻印象。

Tips & Warnings

溫馨提示

The introduction should make up about 10 to 15 percent of the total speech. The conclusion should make up 5 to 10 percent.

引言應(yīng)占演講內(nèi)容的10%-15%，而結(jié)論則占其中的5%-10%。

When preparing your speech, make your notes easy to read by writing or printing them in large, clear letters.

準(zhǔn)備演講時，為方便觀眾閱讀，請使用大且清晰的字母寫出或印刷出你的演講筆記。

Rehearse and time your speech before delivering it. Prune it if necessary. If you'll be presenting a great deal of information, consider using handouts or visual aids to help your audience remember your points.

正式演講前，請預(yù)練你的演講，并計算演講時間。如有需要，多修改修改你的演講稿。假如你的演講會提供大量的信息，那你得考慮用一些傳單或其它便于觀看的道具幫助觀眾記住你的演講要點。
