How to Give a Good Speech
We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job. Here are some suggestions on how to give a good speech.
First of all, it is important to plan. Do your homework. Find out everything you can about your subject. And, at the same time, find out as much as you can about your audience. Who are they? What do they know about your subject? Do they have a common interest? Why are they coming to hear you speak? Put yourself in their shoes as you prepare your speech①. Just remember: be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion.
Let us suppose that you have been asked to introduce the main speaker at a meeting. First, find out the most important and interesting things about the speaker. Then, summarize this information in a few words. Remember, you are not the main speaker; you are introducing the main speaker.
If you are giving a lecture or explaining an idea, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of time doing your research. Then spend plenty of time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures or charts if they will help you make your points more clearly. Never forget your audience. Don’t talk over their heads, and don’t talk down to them②. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.
If you follow these simple steps, you’ll see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you ask to make more speeches! You’re not convinced yet? Give it a try and see what happens.

如何做好發(fā)言
在生活中,我們都會碰到這樣的時候:被邀請做一個發(fā)言。然而,我們中的大部分人都做不好這件事。關(guān)于如何做好發(fā)言,下面給大家提幾點建議。
首先,做計劃這一點相當重要。發(fā)言之前做好充分準備,對你發(fā)言的主題盡可能地了解。同時,還要盡可能地了解你的聽眾,他們是什么人?他們對你發(fā)言的主題有怎樣的了解?他們是否有共同的興趣?他們?yōu)楹蝸砺犇惆l(fā)言?當你準備發(fā)言稿的時候,別忘了站在他們的角度考慮考慮。請你記住,一定要準備充分。對發(fā)言的主題、聽眾、以及場合要心中有數(shù)。
假設(shè)你要在一次會議上介紹主要發(fā)言人。首先,你應(yīng)該發(fā)掘出關(guān)于那位發(fā)言人最重要、最有趣的事情。然后用幾句話來概括挖掘到的相關(guān)信息。請記住,你并非主要發(fā)言人;你的職責是介紹那位主要發(fā)言人。
假如你要做一個講座,或講解一種觀點,務(wù)必圍繞主題收集盡可能多的材料。要花大量的時間進行研究。此后,還要花大量時間將材料有條理地整合在一起,以便使你的發(fā)言清晰易懂。盡可能多地使用例證,為了使講解更為清晰,必要時可使用圖片或圖表。要始終把聽眾記在心上。不要高談闊論,超出他們的理解范圍,也不要以居高臨下的口氣對他們說話。尊重你的聽眾,他們會感謝你的體貼。
只要你按照這些簡單的步驟來做,你便會發(fā)現(xiàn)在公共場合發(fā)言并不可怕。事實上,你甚至?xí)X得這種經(jīng)驗是一種享受,還希望有更多的發(fā)言機會呢!你還將信將疑嗎?那么,試一試這個方法,看看會怎樣。
