英语演讲技巧
1．根据听众对象，注意演讲的总体措词．根据听众对象，演讲的总体措词是严肃一些还是活泼一些，是有较明显的说教口气还是用平等的口吻，等等，都要根据听众对象而定。如果场下听众是同龄的学生，那么演讲的内容只要风趣一些往往就能引起共鸣。但另一方面，如果听众大多是上了年纪的教师，太多的笑料反而会被认为“不严肃”，“不尊重”，而引起反感。用英语演讲，不要用太多IfeelIthi
k，老是用I，显得十分主观，狭隘。如果通篇全是IfeelIthi
k的内容，会给人觉得缺乏说服力。另外，perhapsmaybe这样的词语，虽然有“客气，谦虚”的成分，但太多会让人觉得你演讲的内容有不可靠之处。还有，在演讲中，要少用you，多用we。用you等于把自己与听众对立起来，而用we则拉近了与听众的距离。比如：Youshould
otsmoke．听上去像教训人，而Let’s
otsmoke听起来是一个不错的建议。2．演讲要越短越好．英语演讲应该简洁扼要，直截了当。除非特别需要，一般不要采用中文中的那种迂回曲折的表达形式。据有关专家统计，一般人的注意力一次只能集中约13分钟。所以，演讲长度以10～15分钟为宜。下面一个范文：Let’ssta
