Preparation skills before speech and defense skills after speech.

Speech contest is a contest to exercise people's language ability and physical expression. In order to have a chance to win the prize, the contestants should not only make a good speech, but also cooperate with their bodies and put their feelings in place. The following are the preparation skills and post-game defense skills I collected for you. Welcome to learn from them.

1, purpose preparation

We have known the function of the speech and analyzed the audience. Now we should apply it to the preparation of our speech. Then, we must first know what the main purpose of our technical speech is.

Technical exchanges or lectures to customers mainly have the following four purposes:

Pass on information: I hope the audience will understand our intention, purpose, products and technology;

Stimulate thinking: I hope the audience will notice our advantages and compare them with other companies' products.

Persuade the audience: I hope the audience will agree with our strengths, understand our weaknesses and believe in our promises.

Call to action: I hope the audience will support our views with practical actions.

Audience analysis and purpose preparation always run through the speech. In a speech, we must always have two strings in our minds. Sometimes in a speech, we need to make appropriate adjustments to the focus and methods of the speech according to the situation of the audience and the atmosphere of the scene. All our actions are aimed at achieving the ultimate goal.

2. Build the architecture

Any form of communication, such as reports, articles, letters or books, needs a good structure to successfully convey the information you want to convey to the other party. The audience has only one chance to understand what we say. If you let them lose this opportunity, even if there is a similar opportunity, they will not listen to you again. So you'd better set up the structure in advance. With the architecture, it is much easier to add materials and content. With a good structure, you can attract the attention of the audience, help them understand, and at the same time make your information more deeply remembered in their minds. When building a framework, one is to determine the outline and main contents, and the other is to allocate time. For example, when teachers in our new employee training center are doing curriculum development, the first thing to do is to fill out an instructional design form. In this teaching design table, there are the course name, objectives, time and object, as well as the course outline, course content, teaching methods and equipment and the time allocation of each content. With such a design table, teachers will have good teaching ideas. You give a speech, although everyone is not required to fill out a similar form. But the speaker must also have an outline and a preliminary time allocation.

There are three kinds of speech structures: logical structure, story structure and formal structure. The logical framework is generally suitable for us to present the case to the judge in court. We usually use a formal framework, that is, three steps and three procedures: 1, to simply tell the audience what you want to say; 2. Tell the audience the content in detail; Tell the audience what you said again. This framework provides three necessary steps for a speech: introduction and communication of main ideas and conclusions. This repetition will help the audience understand what you said and strengthen their memory. The weights of the three are generally 10% introduction, 85% main idea and 5% conclusion.

Step 3 collect materials

After doing the above work, we will start to collect information and sort it out. How to collect materials?

How much material do you need? First of all, we have to ask, after building a good structure and clearing our minds, we will know how much of the materials at hand have become clear. Only in this way can we know what materials need to be added to support our speech. Don't prepare too much. We shouldn't just stand on the spot and be afraid of running out of materials, and prepare too many materials that can't speak, which will eventually delay our time.

Elasticity. We should give ourselves more flexibility in the preparation of materials and divide them into the following three categories:

Core materials? Materials that must be presented in a speech.

Disposable materials? Those materials that are omitted because of lack of time will not harm the whole speech.

Auxiliary materials? If you have enough time, you might as well publish such materials, which must be beneficial and harmless, or use them when answering other people's questions.

Step 4 write a speech

After collecting the materials, we began to write the speech. A good speech is the basic element of the systematicness, completeness and effectiveness of our speech. The writing of the lecture notes must be specific and avoid too many concepts. Earlier, we also talked about doing audience analysis in order to cater to the audience and be targeted. This is a necessary condition to become an excellent speaker. We must keep in mind these sixteen principles: go deep into reality, be specific in content, cater to the audience and be targeted.

Case: Lincoln, one of the greatest presidents in American history, attached great importance to the preparation before the speech. In the appreciation of the last masterpiece of this textbook, we selected Lincoln's famous speech at the inauguration ceremony of the National Martyrs Cemetery in Gettysburg. Lincoln was invited two weeks before this speech, while dressing, shaving and eating snacks, thinking about how to make a speech. The speech was revised twice, but he was still not satisfied. The night before the funeral, he was still making the final revision, and then he asked his colleagues to read aloud in the middle of the night. When he entered the meeting, he rode on a horse, still lowering his head to his chest to meditate on his speech. Everett talked for nearly two hours. At the end, Lincoln nervously took out his old glasses and read his speech again. His speech began, a reporter set up a tripod to take pictures, everything was ready, and Lincoln had stepped off the platform. This time was only over two minutes, but the applause lasted 10 minutes. This speech highly praised by later generations, translated into today's Chinese, is less than 500 words.

Record yours? Improvisation? give a lecture

Play back your tape and mark repeated words, such as? Huh? Or? Huh? . Revise it repeatedly until your speech is stable and secure.

Find an audience to practice speaking.

Ask one or two insightful people to make it clear that you need constructive criticism, not just praise. Do they understand what you said? Are you coherent and logical? Do they think you speak fast or slow? Modify the speech according to their opinions.

Now you are almost ready to make a speech. But have you finished everything you want to write? No, write your own introduction and print a manuscript. Even if it's a free speech, let the host read the names of you and your company correctly and tell others how to contact you. You want to attract everyone's attention, so you can't use a casual or half-joking introducer.

If you are not sure how to introduce yourself, use your resume as a guide and make it relevant to your topic. If you make a deep impression or win people's respect, let the introducer say it. If you are standing on the podium, explain to the introducer that you will stay on the podium until he leaves, and the host will leave the podium before the audience stops clapping. In this way, you are the center of the podium.

Post-game defensive skills

Defense plays an important role in job competition. Many job-seeking competitors did well in the written examination stage, but they were unsuccessful because of their unsatisfactory defense. In fact, for competitors, as long as they are fully prepared before defense, master the defensive tactics, and improvise in defense, they can win the initiative and win the first place.

Victory: Full preparation before defense

Determine the test site. The purpose of defense is to test whether a person's reaction is agile, resourceful and coherent, and then to test his breadth of knowledge, depth of thinking level and height of theoretical level. In the process of defense, the most taboo situation is that you can't pick up the words, you can't speak every time, you stutter, and there are many loopholes. So first of all, we should pay special attention to answering questions quickly and clearly. Generally speaking, we should use? First, second and third? Or? First time, second time, again? It is best to answer in the form of structure.

Analysis questions. There are generally two kinds of interview defense: objective questions and subjective questions. Objective questions have standard answers, while subjective questions may have multiple answers. Relatively speaking, there are few objective questions and many subjective questions. This provides a broad space for competitors to play freely, so be full of confidence and avoid being in a hurry. As long as they don't stray from the theme and play their level normally, they will certainly be able to pass the test calmly. If we can let the sparks of new ideas break out from time to time, the effect will be better.

Predictive problem. The purpose of post competition is very clear, that is, competitors prove that they are more qualified for a certain job than others by explaining and expounding their own experiences, achievements, advantages and working ideas. The judges also asked questions from these main aspects: questions related to your experience, questions related to the position you are competing for, and questions related to the current policy situation. As a competitor, you can pay attention to these aspects in advance, concretize the possible problems and summarize the key points in advance. If the questions raised by the judges are consistent with or similar to those you thought of in advance, you can talk to Kan Kan calmly; If the questions you ask are different from what you think, you can also graft wisely and assemble flexibly, and you will never choke to death on the spot.

Set a trap on purpose. That is, in the process of competitive defense, some concepts and ideas were consciously put forward, but they were not elaborated in depth. In the process of defense, we should naturally slow down the speech and strengthen the tone to highlight these problems, attract the attention of the judges and lure them to ask questions. For example, when competitors talk about the idea of doing a good job in market research, they specifically talk about the problem of ideas and methods, and they only skillfully mention: In addition, we should also pay attention to strengthening the team building of the sales department. ? Sure enough, some judges broke the sand pot and asked: What measures are you going to take to strengthen team building? This question is right in the trap of competitors. Give me a question, give you a wonderful, natural and perfect one.

Courage: wit in defense.

The process of defense is full of variables. Under the premise of full preparation, we should also master some contingency measures.

Don't waste nonsense, buy time. When the judges ask questions and you don't know where to start at once, you might as well say some nonsense and take over the topic first. For example, your question is very good and should be seriously considered and treated in my future work? ,? The question you just asked is: Why is quality the lifeline of an enterprise? It is nonsense to say that quality is the lifeline of an enterprise ... but it also conforms to people's habit of answering questions. This will buy you limited time to sort out your thoughts, search the memory materials in your mind, and then explain them in an orderly way. Therefore, the role of nonsense can not be underestimated.

Rhetorically correct, using static braking. Although many jobs are different in nature, once summarized, the rules of work and measures to do a good job are similar, such as strengthening study, perfecting the system, putting measures in place and highlighting key points. For example, when the judges ask you what measures you are going to take to do a good job, and you are not familiar with this job, you may wish to get in touch with it properly so as to keep changing.

Good words are right, control your emotions. Sometimes the judges' questions are not so much questions as opinions, but on this special occasion, if you accidentally ask them, you will not be able to step down. So when answering such questions, don't talk big, meaningless words. The best choice is to say good words, sincerely admit the shortcomings, and promise to pay attention to improvement in the future. For example, the judges asked: The general office should be a comprehensive service department. Why can leaders buy tickets on business trips, but our employees can't buy tickets on business trips? Answering such a question is not clear in one or two sentences. A competitor replied: in our work, such problems may indeed occur, and I am deeply sorry for this. I didn't do it well last time, but I will do it well next time. If you encounter such a problem, you can ask me directly and I will try my best to solve it. ? A few kind words made both the questioner and the audience feel comfortable.

Good joke, lively atmosphere. Some judges ask sharp questions, forcing you to express your position on the spot and putting you in a dilemma. For example, several judges unanimously challenged a comrade who was competing for the post of director of infrastructure: Our unit will requisition 2,000 mu of land. Can you guarantee to get the land within one year? Give me $200,000. I'm not sure. Generally speaking, the problem can be solved in one year, but as far as I know, there are dozens of farmers on that land, and demolition is the most thoughtful issue in the process of land acquisition. If you encounter several nail households, the progress will be affected. But I will try to finish this arduous task in a year or so. ? The first few words of the contestants caused everyone to burst into laughter, which made the tense atmosphere of hand-to-hand combat suddenly relaxed. The next few sentences were objective and true, which won the understanding and praise of the judges.
