【开场方式:提问,跟听众建立联结】
Hi, good afternoon,ladies and gentlemen. It's my great honor to make a speech in front of you. First,I have one question for our members,why do you join Toastmasters?For developing communication skills or leadership skills?
【Thank you for your sharing,we really have something in common...】
What's the reason for me to join Toastmasters?
【此段所用演讲结构:PREP
PREP四个英文字母分别代表:Point,观点;Reason,理由;Example,案例;Point,再次讲观点。这是最经典的作文结构,大多数人在学生时代都用过这个结构来写过作文,这也是绝佳的演讲结构。】
There are two reasons.
First,Toastmasters is a group like a sunflower,which always grows up towards sunshine.For me, sun means life,it also means warm. Haizi says :"I have three happinesses: Poetry, Throne and Sun". My dear friends, I also have three happinesses, they are English Teacher, Drawing and Sun. Communication is a necessary skill in both English and Drawing.
On the other hand, I have been touched deeply by our Club Mission"We provide a supportive and positive learning experience in which members are empowered to develop communication and leadership skills,resulting in greater self-confidence and personal growth." Ma Yun says"The third-class organization depends on common rules, the second-class organization depends on common benefits,the first-class organization depends on common beliefs,and the top organization can do things by following their true feelings.This is my second reason.
Before joining our club, for me Toastmasters is only a name just like a hundred thousand other names.And I have no need of you.And you have no need of me,either. Now I am standing here to have a walk with all of you. Then we'll need each other along our road. You'll be the only person in the world for me.I'll be the only person in the world for you. And I will do my best to be a sunflower like Toastmasters. So What should I do in each of the following days?
【结尾:引用高密度的排比句,再次陈述观点。】
The Words from Thatcher,Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990, have made a deep impression on me:
Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
注意你的想法,因为它能决定你的言辞。
Watch your words,for they become actions.
注意你的言辞,因为它能主导你的行为。
Watch your actions,for they become habits.
注意你的行为,因为它能变成你的习惯。
Watch your habits, for they become character.
注意你的习惯,因为它能塑造你的性格。
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.
注意你的性格,因为它能决定你的命运。
Keep moving on, to be a better person.
