( Blood, Sweat and Tears)Winston Churchill,英语演讲稿的基本组成部分 从大的方面看，英语演讲词实际上是属于一种特殊的说明文或议论文，其基本组成部分是： 1)开始时对听众的称呼语 最常用的是 Ladi
27、es and gentlemen，也可根据不同情况，选用 Fellow students, Distinguished guests, Mr Chairman, Honorable Judges(评委)等等。 2)提出论题 由于演讲的时间限制，必须开门见山，提出论题。提出论题的方法有各种各样，但最生动，最能引起注意的是用举例法。比如：你要呼吁大家关心贫穷地区的孩子，你可以用亲眼看到的或者收集到的那些贫穷孩子多么需要帮助的实例开始。另外，用具体的统计数据也是一个有效的引出论题的方法，比如：你要谈遵守交通规则的话题，你可以从举一系列有关车辆、车祸等的数据开始。,3)论证 对提出的论题，不可主观地妄
28、下结论，而要进行客观的论证。这是演讲中最需要下功夫的部分。关键是要把道理讲清楚。常见的论证方法有举例法、因果法、对比法等等 . 4)结论 结论要简明扼要，以给听众留下深刻印象。 5)结尾 结尾要简洁，不要拉拉扯扯，说个没完。特别是不要受汉语影响，说些类似“准备不足，请谅解”，“请批评指正”这样的废话。最普通的结尾就是：Thank you very much for your attention。,Notes 1.根据听众对象，注意演讲的总体措词 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
29、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 I feel, I think，老是用I，显得十分主观，狭隘。如果通篇全是 I feel, I think 的内容，会给人觉得缺乏说服力。另外，perhaps, maybe 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：You should not smoke听上去像教训人，而 Lets not sm
30、oke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1015分钟为宜。,How to Sell YourselfIn this competitive society it is essential to know how to sell yourself in order to get the job you want. That means you must be able to market your best features a
31、nd present yourself in the best light. After all, you never get a second chance to make a first impression.There are several things you can do to project a good image in an interview. First of all, look like a winner. Dress conservatively and well, and youll look like youre going to the top. Second,
32、 communicate clearly. Consider each question carefully and respond with total honesty. Remember to make eye contact and maintain good posture. You need to look attentive but also at ease. Third, have a positive and assertive attitude. Its important to appear confident of your ability and optimistic

34、wards success.,Learn How to Say NoWeve all been taught that we should help people. It is the right thing to do and will make us popular with others. It may even win us favors in return. However, we must be realistic. We cant say yes to every request. If we did, we would fail or go crazy for sure. So
35、metimes we simply dont have the time to help. In this case, we must know how to say no politely.When we need to say no, here is one method we can try. First, we should tell the truth. If we really cant do something, we should just say so. Second, we should remember to refuse requests politely. We mu
36、st communicate clearly, but must also be sincere and sympathetic. A true friend will understand. Finally, we must not feel guilty about saying no. Sometimes refusing others is the right thing to do. It can save ourselves, and them, a lot of trouble. In short, we cannot please everyone all the time.
37、Refusing favors is a part of life.,Nature Is Our Mother Dear Friends: Let me begin my speech with a replay of scenes familiar to most, if not all, of those present here today. “Mum, Im sorry, but I need 3,000 yuan for my tuition this year.“ “Mum, it is my friends birthday tomorrow, I must buy her a
38、present.“ “Mum, this jacket was out of fashion long ago, would you do me a favor? “ Take. Take. Take. The relationship between a mother and a child always seems to follow such a pattern. I know my mother is always there for me, providing me with everything I need; from food to clothing, from tuition
39、 to pocket money. I never thought twice about all she did until one day she said, “Will there be a time that youll say you have taken enough from me? “,Like a child endlessly asking, we humans, throughout history, have been continually demanding what we desire from nature. We enjoy the comfort and b
40、eauty of our furniture, yet we never bother to think about the serious soil erosion caused by deforestation. We take it for granted that we must warm ourselves in winter times, yet we seldom realize the burning away of precious natural resources. We appreciate all the prosperity from the development
41、 of modern industry, yet few would give the slightest consideration to the global air and water pollution caused by industrial wastes. Our ruthless exploitation has permanently impaired our mother earth. As we tragically learned from last summers floods. we cannot continue our carelessness.,Finally,
42、 standing here at the threshold of the 21st century, we cannot help thinking of our posterity. Nature is not only the mother of the present generation, but also the mother of the generations to come. How severely our descendents will criticize us if we leave them a barren and lifeless mother? How mu
43、ch more they will appreciate us if we give them a world of harmony to inherit? Let us start respecting and caring for nature from now on. Let us start the campaign of creating a mutually beneficial relationship between people and nature right from this moment. With this new start, I firmly believe,
44、that our children, and our childrens children will live in a brand new age of green trees, clean air, crystal water, blue sky and an even more promising world!,Gettysburg AddressFour score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedica
45、ted to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of the field as a final resting
46、-place for those who here gave their lives that the nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground.,The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far
47、 above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather
48、for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, -that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion, -that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, -that this nation, under God, sha
49、ll have a new birth of freedom, -and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.,I Have a Dream I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in th
50、e American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.“ I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.,
