Tips for Writing a Great Speech
How to write a strong speech? There are a lot of different ways to answer that question.
Read your speech out loud.
Unlike almost all other forms of writing, speech-writing is designed for listeners. So, when reviewing your text, read it to yourself and pay attention to how the words sound and feel. If your phrases make you stumble (结巴),they are guaranteed to make your boss stumble as well. Just remember that good writing is not necessarily good speech-writing.
Simple phrases are your friends.
Keep your sentences short and sweet. Compound phrases with multiple clauses may look great on paper, but are likely to confuse your audience and decrease the effectiveness of your speech. Limit yourself to one or two ideas per sentence.
Do your research.
Before beginning a speech, make sure to familiarize yourself with the subject. The creative aspects of speech-writing are only effective when backed by a strong foundation of knowledge by the speaker. The audience must trust your words in order for their meaning to sink in. If you're well-prepared, it will show.
Your listeners should be a strong determining factor of the content, tone and style of your speech. Before drafting remarks, think about who you're speaking to, the place you're speaking at and the timing of your speech. There's a time and a place for every type of remarks. It's your job to figure out when and where you are.
A. Know your audience.
B. Show respect to your listeners.
C. Express them as clearly and powerfully as possible.
D. Thus, you can write about it with confidence and authority.
E. Do they slip off the tongue or are they clumsy and awkward?
F. Different writers are most likely to adopt diverse approaches to speech-writing.
G. Here are rules that all writers should follow in order to write a winning speech.
