How to make English presentation
Experience from TED speeches
在和 TED 學(xué) English Presentation 前,我們先一起逛逛歷史上那些令人熱血沸騰的演講:
美國總統(tǒng)林肯在葛底斯堡耳熟能詳?shù)难葜v,讓大家永遠(yuǎn)記住了 “Of the people, by the people, and for the people”艾蓝,即 “民有命浴,民治命斧,民享”闹击。
二戰(zhàn)時(shí)期英國首相 Winston Churchill 丘吉爾 發(fā)表對德國戰(zhàn)爭動員令的著名演講詞:“ I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.” “我沒有別的返弹,只有鮮血脂崔、辛勞滤淳、眼淚和汗水來奉獻(xiàn)給大家∑鲎螅” 使得丘吉爾在當(dāng)時(shí)的選舉中脖咐,以300多票對0票全票當(dāng)選成為英國當(dāng)時(shí)的首相。
美國歷屆總統(tǒng)競選演講和當(dāng)選之后的 Inauguration Speech 就職演說汇歹,比如大家最近聽到過 Donald Trump 的就職演講屁擅。
還有每年一到畢業(yè)季,美國一些知名高校會請來各界大咖做畢業(yè)典禮演講产弹。
娜塔莉·波特曼2015年在哈佛大學(xué)演講
比爾·蓋茨2007年在哈佛大學(xué)演講
另外也推薦大家看一部電影《國王的演講》派歌。這部影片講述了英國女王伊麗莎白二世的父親喬治六世國王的故事。喬治六世就是那位為了美人而放棄江山的愛德華八世的弟弟痰哨,愛德華退位后胶果,他很不情愿地坐上了國王的寶座。
w
然而喬治六世有很嚴(yán)重的口吃斤斧,發(fā)表講話時(shí)非常吃力早抠,連幾句很簡單的話都結(jié)結(jié)巴巴地講不出來,幸運(yùn)的是他遇到了語言治療師萊昂納爾撬讽,通過一系列訓(xùn)練的過程兩人成為好友蕊连,國王的口吃也大為好轉(zhuǎn)悬垃,隨后他發(fā)表了著名的圣誕講話,鼓舞了當(dāng)時(shí)二戰(zhàn)中的英國軍民咪奖。
好了好了盗忱,又扯遠(yuǎn)了,接下來說正事羊赵,英語演講技能到底有多重要趟佃?
我認(rèn)為無論是中文演講,還是 English Presentation昧捷,對于我們都非~常~重要闲昭。
如果你現(xiàn)在還是在校生,在中國靡挥,演講技能可能不是特別重要序矩。但如果是在國外上學(xué),你的 presentation skills 不光有助于清晰地表達(dá)學(xué)術(shù)見解跋破,而且最終也是學(xué)科成績非常重要的組成部分簸淀。
如何你是在外企、國企等公司打拼的職場人毒返,只要工作中需要英語租幕,做英語 presentation 的場景會很多。如果你能游刃有余地在不同的場合拧簸,就不同主題做或長或短劲绪、或正式或非正式、嚴(yán)肅或風(fēng)趣幽默的 English presentation盆赤,這一定是你職業(yè)發(fā)展中的亮點(diǎn)和加分項(xiàng)贾富,讓你的職業(yè)發(fā)展路徑更寬。
English presentation skill 翻譯成漢語是英語演講技巧牺六,一般聽到演講這個(gè)詞颤枪,我們腦海里會浮現(xiàn)出一個(gè)高大上的場合,一個(gè)人飽含激情地站在臺上演講淑际。
TFBOYS組合成員王源作為中國青年代表汇鞭,受邀赴紐約聯(lián)合國總部出席聯(lián)合國經(jīng)社理事會2017青年論壇(ECOSOC Youth Forum 2017),會上王源做了2分鐘的英文發(fā)言庸追。
其實(shí) English presentation在英語中是非常接地氣的,它既可以是高大上場合的 Prepared speech 正式的有稿演講台囱,但更多的是一種所謂的 “講幾句” 的場景淡溯。
在生活或工作中,我們常說“來來來簿训,講幾句” 咱娶,這種場景發(fā)生頻率遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)高于正式場合的講話米间。看似比較隨性地 “講幾句” 的場合膘侮,更能體現(xiàn)一個(gè)人對演講內(nèi)容的妥善把握以及對演講形式的熟練駕馭能力屈糊,說白了就是一種 Story-telling capacity 講故事的能力。
Because no matter you are college students right now or professional.? I guess you would have more and more chances to give English presentations either in class or at your work. In that case, some basic training on English presentation skills will tremendously boost your confidence, and help you relieve a lot from the stage fright.
After all, how to speak English promptly in general public is not a rocket science. So I believe that there are always some formulas to follow, that's why we launched this online training courses for you guys. Because we deeply believe that those rules are not only useful but also easy to practice and most importantly they work all the time. Now I'd like to move on to the second point of my presentation. That is to say, what makes a good English presentation.
好的英文演講有哪些共同屬性琼了?請記住這十六個(gè)字:言之有物逻锐!言之有理!言之有序雕薪!言之有趣昧诱!
言之有物:講話時(shí)一定要有干貨,不能假大空所袁,這條屬于內(nèi)容層面的要求盏档,也是四條中最重要的核心標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。言之有理燥爷,言之有序蜈亩,言之有趣 ,則屬于具體演講形式層面的一些要求前翎;
言之有理:講話時(shí)要有根據(jù)稚配,能自圓其說;
言之有序:講話時(shí)得有章法和條理鱼填,不能東一榔頭西一棒药有;
言之有趣:是一條錦上添花的標(biāo)準(zhǔn),對于大多數(shù)人來講都是巨大的挑戰(zhàn)苹丸。好比飯都吃不飽愤惰,卻要求營養(yǎng)全面,是一個(gè)奢侈的要求赘理。
First宦言,got something to say,? you can’t always have empty talk, right?? NO.2, justify what you say, that's to say, you can’t only put forward the personal argument without any support or further development. Thirdly, say it in a well-organized manner. Fourthly, I mean the last one but not least, say it interestingly if you can.
And in that case I’d like to make a wrap-up for the second point. Yes, a good English presentation skill is really really important. But, the message you’re supposed to share with your audience is the most important part of a good English presentation. It can be some really useful knowledge or information, some inspiring personal stories or experiences or some heart-broken stories, so whatever they are, as long as you can touch your heart, it will be a good English presentation. Even if, even if sometimes you got English accent or you screwed it up when delivering the speech, it's not coming in serious way. That’s really not the most important.
A good beginning is half done. 好的英語演講開場需要“套路”!I棠!奠旺!
好的開始可以牢牢抓住聽眾的注意力,激發(fā)他們的好奇心施流,只有這樣响疚,你才有機(jī)會展示已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備好的素材。
By asking a question, you can try to put forward you personal argument, or gradually channel your argument to the audiences.
套路一:提問法
一般情況下瞪醋,這種提問法都是演講人自問自答忿晕,目的是要帶出演講的觀點(diǎn)或主題。下面這段 TED 的演講银受,演講人通過提問的方式引入死亡的話題践盼,講述自己小時(shí)候看到爺爺去世鸦采,對死亡有了第一次思考的故事。

演講原文:
I have a question: Who here remembers when they first realized they were going to die?
I do. I was a young boy, and my grandfather had just died, and I remember a few days later lying in bed at night trying to make sense of what had happened. What did it mean that he was dead? Where had he gone? It was like a hole in reality had opened up and swallowed him. But then the really shocking question occurred to me: If he could die, could it happen to me too? Could that hole in reality open up and swallow me? Would it open up beneath my bed and swallow me as I slept? Well, at some point, all children become aware of death. It can happen in different ways, of course, and usually comes in stages. Our idea of death develops as we grow older. And if you reach back into the dark corners of your memory, you might remember something like what I felt when my grandfather died and when I realized it could happen to me too, that sense that behind all of this the void is waiting.
首先通過提問的方式咕幻,演講者問在座的聽眾渔伯,大家是否考慮過死亡這個(gè)概念?爺爺去世后肄程,他開始考慮死亡到底意味著什么锣吼?他想,既然死亡會發(fā)生在爺爺身上绷耍,也同樣會發(fā)生在自己身上吐限,由此引發(fā)出他對死亡的一系列考量。用提問的方式來開始自己的演講褂始,是很容易打動人心的诸典。
套路二:單刀直入講故事法
這是目前使用頻率最高佣渴,也是非常能抓住觀眾注意力的方法咙边,一開始就娓娓道來,講自己或者他人的故事斑唬。故事可以是感人至深的胆数,也可以是荒誕離奇的肌蜻,可以是風(fēng)趣幽默的,也可以是平凡的必尼、發(fā)生在每一個(gè)人人身上的蒋搜。
下面這段 TED 的演講主題是關(guān)于抑郁癥的,演講人曾是一名重度抑郁癥患者判莉,講述了在別人看得見和看不見的地方豆挽,他是怎樣被抑郁癥痛苦的折磨,最終是如何戰(zhàn)勝抑郁癥的券盅。

演講原文:
For a long time in my life, I felt like I'd been living two different lives. There's the life that everyone sees, and then there's the life that only I see. And in the life that everyone sees, who I am is a friend, a son, a brother, a stand-up comedian and a teenager. That's the life everyone sees. If you were to ask my friends and family to describe me, that's what they would tell you. And that's a huge part of me. That is who I am. And if you were to ask me to describe myself, I'd probably say some of those same things. And I wouldn't be lying, but I wouldn't totally be telling you the truth, either, because the truth is, that's just the life everyone else sees. In the life that only I see, who I am, who I really am, is someone who struggles intensely with depression. I have for the last six years of my life, and I continue to every day.
Now, for someone who has never experienced depression or doesn't really know what that means, that might surprise them to hear, because there's this pretty popular misconception that depression is just being sad when something in your life goes wrong, when you break up with your girlfriend, when you lose a loved one, when you don't get the job you wanted. But that's sadness. That's a natural thing. That's a natural human emotion.
套路三:平鋪直敘法
平鋪直敘法簡單直白帮哈、常見保險(xiǎn),在職場中用處很多锰镀,比如在PPT支持下正式的 English Presentation娘侍。
首先,單刀直入泳炉,拋出自己的主題和觀點(diǎn)憾筏;然后,對每一個(gè)觀點(diǎn)進(jìn)行展開花鹅。
推薦你試試:
Good morning ladies and gentlemen.I’m pretty happy to have this opportunity to share with you my thought about blablabla… and these are the three or four points I’d like to talk today.
Good morning ladies and gentlemen. I’m very much honored and humbled to address such a big audience today and my presentation today is focusing on blablabla …
Good morning ladies and gentlemen first of all I’m personal by half …. to extend my gratitude to …… for inviting me to speak over this podium today.? I would like to have a brief s elf introduction before I’m gonna move on to the theme of my presentation which is about ….
演講的方法很多氧腰,我們并不需要全部掌握,雖然演講場合會發(fā)生變化,但是扎扎實(shí)實(shí)掌握幾種表達(dá)方法和基本結(jié)構(gòu)容贝,并且做到熟練地使用,以后做任何 English Presentation 的時(shí)候之景,你都會顯得胸有成竹斤富。
總結(jié)一下:
NO.1: English presentation skill is really important and it’s gonna be even more important in the future.
NO.2: 言之有物,言之有理锻狗,言之有序满力,言之有趣,能讓你的英文演講更加打動人心轻纪。
NO.3: 提問法油额、單刀直入講故事法,平鋪直敘法刻帚,學(xué)會每次演講都在一開始就牢牢抓住聽眾的眼球吧潦嘶。
