How to sublimate speech topic skills

The speech should have a correct and distinct theme. The theme of the speech can best reflect the ideological value and aesthetic taste of the speech, making the speech have profound and touching artistic charm. However, the presentation of the theme of the speech should not be reduced to empty preaching, listing of phenomena and commonplaces. The correct approach is to use typical and sufficient materials to express the theme of the speech, promptly analyze, summarize, refine, and extend the essential connotation of the materials, and use rational language to enlighten and render the audience's psychological excitement. Ming leads the audience's thinking to a deeper and more sublime realm, sublimating the theme of the speech. Below is a collection of tips on how to sublimate your speech topic. I hope you like it.

In speech practice, the following techniques can generally be used to sublimate the theme of the speech:

1. Expansion from point to surface

The factual materials in speeches are flexible and diverse, such as a personal experience, a short story, a description of a character, even a few words of a character, etc. Although these are individual but very typical materials, they are often just A point that can become a sublimation speech topic. From the narration of this one fact to the generalization that includes all or part of the factual connotation of this type of statement, it is the technique of expanding the speech topic from point to point.

For example, there is a passage in Fu Ying's speech "Remember the National Humiliation, Seize the Day": Ji Hongchang hung a wooden sign with the slogan "I am Chinese" and walked in a field of blue-eyed, yellow Among the foreigners with long hair.

It is these millions of innocent children who hold up the backbone of our nation and the hope of our motherland; it is they who, on their own "today", brave the enemy's artillery fire with their blood , composed the "March of the Volunteers" worthy of the times, which made the national anthem of the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China resound throughout China, so majestic, so majestic and loud; it is they who made our descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties resound again and again He climbed onto the highest podium in the world, and made the volume louder and louder, and the melody stronger and stronger!

The speaker used Ji Hongchang’s patriotic behavior as the basis, and then thought of thousands of people from a high position. The spirit of millions of patriots, and the reminders of these millions of innocent people, are advanced through three layers of layout, summarizing the lofty feelings of patriots from generation to generation, and making them reflected in a single instance. The ideological meaning has been expanded and sublimated. The speech can ignite the patriotic fire of the audience and produce a certain degree of charisma.

2. Deepening from the outside to the inside

Some factual materials contain deep meanings. Without being broken down, the audience may not be able to understand the main idea of ??the speaker. But once they have gone through The speaker's revelation, deepening and refining are like discovering shining gold in the gravel or crystal pearls in the shell. It is inspiring and thought-provoking. This method of sublimating the narration of external actions or objective facts to the expression of inner thoughts or deep meanings is the technique of deepening and sublimating the theme from the outside to the inside.

For example, Mr. Sun Yat-sen said in a speech: There is an overseas Chinese millionaire in Java, Southeast Asia, with a fortune of more than ten million. Once when he went out to visit friends, he had no choice but to pay a Japanese prostitute to take him home because he was afraid of being caught by the Dutch police without a night pass.

Although the Japanese prostitute is very poor, her motherland is very powerful, so she has a high status and can move freely. Although this Chinese is very rich, his motherland is not strong, so his status is not as good as a prostitute in Japan. ?If the country perishes, we will be blamed everywhere, not only ourselves, but also our descendants!?

Here Mr. Sun Yat-sen analyzed a typical material from the outside to the inside, revealing that If the country is poor and weak, the people will be bullied, and if they fall behind, they will be beaten. This principle sublimated the theme of the speech and aroused the strong patriotism of the audience.

3. Extensions from this to that

In speeches, sometimes a typical event or natural phenomenon can be used as a trigger point and medium to extend it and connect it to another related things and events to sublimate the theme of the speech. This technique of sublimating the theme derived from this and that, through visual rendering, can not only enlighten the audience's wisdom and insight, but also create a realm and atmosphere full of philosophical beauty.

For example, when an American teacher working at a medical school in China was speaking to students, he first told a short story: One morning after a storm, a man was walking on the beach. There are many small fish that were swept ashore by last night's storm and are trapped in the shallow pools. Suddenly, he saw a little boy picking up small fish in the puddle and throwing them back into the sea. The man asked: "My child, there are hundreds of thousands of small fish in this puddle, you can't save them." ?I know. ?The child answered without raising his head. ?Oh? Then why are you still throwing? Who cares? The little boy replied while throwing the small fish: ?This little fish cares! This one, and this one. After the teacher finished telling this little story, he said affectionately:

Today, you start your college life here. Each of you will learn how to save lives here. Although you can't save the whole world, the whole of China, or even every province or city, you can still save some people, and you can alleviate their suffering. Is their life different because of your presence? You can make their life better. This is what you can and will do.

In his speech, this American teacher extended a philosophical story from one point to another, vividly elucidating the noble professional ethics that medical students should establish, and sublimated the speech. The theme gives the speech a lasting appeal.

4. Enlightenment from Chen and Xin

In the speech, some past materials are used and imitated, and enlightenment from Chen and Xin is carried out to dig out the profound connotation with practical significance. It is also a better technique for sublimating the theme.

For example, in a theme speech contest to promote patriotism, a speaker talked about his hope for the return of Taiwan and the reunification of the motherland. In the end, he sublimated the theme like this: An old intellectual was seriously ill. During this period, he told his children: "On the day when the motherland is reunified, don't forget to tell Nai Weng when making family sacrifices." ?This sentence has a new connotation than Lu You's famous sentence. It represents the wishes of many old intellectuals and the wishes of many Chinese people! Comrades and friends, we are looking forward to the arrival of this day!

This day will definitely come!

Here, the speaker modified Lu You’s famous sentence in this typical material and gave it a more profound practical significance, pushing the patriotic thoughts and feelings embodied in the speech to a climax.

5. The blend of context and emotion

In the speech, typical events that occur in real life are rendered to create a situation that closely follows the topic, and thus Touch the scene and stir up emotions, blend the scenes, and achieve the effect of sublimating the theme of the speech.

For example, there is a passage in Hu Yunlong's speech "What Will Our Descendants Drink?": Miss Hengel from Germany and her companions came to visit the long-awaited Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. Along the way, they enjoyed the intoxicating scenery on both sides of the Yangtze River and deeply appreciated the ruthlessness of the Chinese people in wantonly destroying the environment. In the eyes of Chinese tourists, the Yangtze River is nothing more than a natural waste dump. The Yangtze River, which flows eastward, takes away everything that Chinese tourists throw away without complaint: peels, waste paper, lunch boxes, plastics. As foreign tourists, they both They couldn't bear to do this. When they couldn't find a trash can, they had no choice but to put the waste in plastic bags one by one and politely asked the flight attendant to dispose of it before disembarking. Unexpectedly, the flight attendant sneered and threw the garbage bag into the Yangtze River without hesitation. Seeing this, I can't help but ask: "The land of watering flowers with pure clear water" described in "Song of the Yangtze River" and "the Yangtze River using its huge arms to lift the mountains and seas" can lift the land it nurtures. Is it the heavy pressure of people ruthlessly destroying it again and again? Water is kind and affectionate to us humans. We must not do stupid things such as being ungrateful and repaying kindness with hatred, nor can we force our descendants to drink the bitter wine we have brewed, let alone Doing stupid things like killing chickens to obtain eggs and harming future generations. This is a responsibility!

Here, the speaker vividly portrays the life picture of Chinese people with poor environmental awareness through the experiences and experiences of foreign tourists in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, thus expressing emotions, triggering discussions, and achieving a clear understanding of the situation. Emotional, the blending of scenes, and the interplay of emotion and reason sublimated the theme of the speech very well.

6. Contrast from restraint to relief

The climax in a speech is often the key to sublimating the theme, and the appropriate use of the contrast technique from restraint to relief can make the focus The expression of emotion and reason at the climax is more effective, thereby sublimating the theme of the speech.

For example, the climax of Lu Guohua's speech "May You Dare to Be the First in the World": Some people may say that if you are young and energetic, and you don't know the heights of the world, is it so easy to handle the tide of reform? If you do it well, it should be If you are lucky, your fortune will shine; if you do not do well, you will be unlucky and ruined? If we wait and see, if we retreat bravely, if we do not seek merit but seek no fault, if the matter is none of our business, we will hang high, if we are afraid of being shot in the head. Birds who believe in the law of "people's words are fearful" will be eliminated by history, abandoned by the times, and ridiculed by life. We can only fight fearlessly, boldly explore, take risks, and compete tenaciously!

Here, the speaker pushes against the current, retreats in order to advance, first sets up a premise that is contrary to the conclusion, and tries his best to Decline, and then use a negative conclusion to prepare for the promotion of the conclusion, and finally promote it naturally. This contrast from suppression to promotion pushes the speech to a climax and sublimates the theme.
