準備英語演講稿(3篇)

第1篇 如何準備英語演講稿

1．根據聽眾對象，注意演講的總體措詞

演講的總體措詞是嚴肅一些還是活潑一些，是有較明顯的說教口氣還是用平等的口吻，等等，都要根據聽眾對象而定。如果場下聽眾是同齡的學生，那么演講的內容只要風趣一些往往就能引起共鳴。但另一方面，如果聽眾大多是上了年紀的教師，太多的笑料反而會被認為“不嚴肅”，“不尊重”，而引起反感。

用英語演講，不要用太多 i feel, i think，老是用i，顯得十分主觀，狹隘。如果通篇全是 i feel, i

think 的內容，會給人覺得缺乏說服力。另外，perhaps, maybe

這樣的詞語，雖然有“客氣，謙虛”的成分，但太多會讓人覺得你演講的內容有不可靠之處。

還有，在演講中，要少用you，多用we。用you等于把自己與聽眾對立起來，而用we則拉近了與聽眾的距離。比如：you

should not smoke．聽上去像教訓人，而 let's not smoke聽起來是一個不錯的建議。

2．演講要越短越好 of the people, by the people, for the

people(民有，民治，民享)已成為不朽佳句。對于中學生來說，這篇演講現(xiàn)在讀起來一定會覺得很難，但要寫好英語演講，這確實是值得認真研讀的經典之作。

gettysburg address

four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on

this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and

dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that

nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long

endure.

we are met on a great battlefield of that war. we have come to

dedicate a portion of the field as a final resting-place for

those who here gave their lives that the nation might live. it

is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. but

in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we

cannot hallow this ground.

the brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have

consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract.

the world will little note, nor long remember, what we say

here, but it can never forget what they did here.

it is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the

unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so

nobly advanced. it is rather for us to be here dedicated to

the great task remaining before us, ----that from these

honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for

which they gave the last full measure of devotion, ----that we

here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in

vain, ----that this nation, under god, shall have a new birth

of freedom, ----and that government of the people, by the

people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

其實，我們中學生練習寫演講稿，可以短些，從4～5分鐘，500～600個詞，圍繞一個主題開始練習。

3．英語演講稿的基本組成部分

從大的方面看，英語演講詞實際上是屬于一種特殊的說明文或議論文，其基本組成部分是：

1)開始時對聽眾的稱呼語

最常用的是 ladies and gentlemen，也可根據不同情況，選用 fellow students,

distinguished guests, mr chairman, honorable judges(評委)等等。

2)提出論題

由于演講的時間限制，必須開門見山，提出論題。提出論題的方法有各種各樣，但最生動，最能引起注意的是用舉例法。比如：你要呼吁大家關心貧窮地區(qū)的孩子，你可以用親眼看到的或者收集到的那些貧窮孩子多么需要幫助的實例開始。另外，用具體的統(tǒng)計數據也是一個有效的引出論題的方法，比如：你要談遵守交通規(guī)則的話題，你可以從舉一系列有關車輛、車禍等的數據開始。

3)論證

對提出的論題，不可主觀地妄下結論，而要進行客觀的論證。這是演講中最需要下功夫的部分。關鍵是要把道理講清楚。常見的論證方法有舉例法、因果法、對比法等等，可參見英語議論文的有關章節(jié)。

4)結論

結論要簡明扼要，以給聽眾留下深刻印象。

5)結尾

結尾要簡潔，不要拉拉扯扯，說個沒完。特別是不要受漢語影響，說些類似“準備不足，請諒解”，“請批評指正”這樣的廢話。最普通的結尾就是：thank

you very much for your attention。

4．英語演講稿的語言特征

1)多用實詞，多用短句，少用結構復雜的長句

在英語演講中，and, but, so, then 等虛詞要盡量少用，that, which

等詞引導的定語從句也只會使句子結構變得復雜，而使聽眾難以跟上演講者的思路，從而影響演講的效果。相反，多使用實詞，短句，可使得演講內容更清晰，氣勢更磅礴。

2)演講要注意使用各種修辭手法，增加演講的感染力和氣勢。英語演講中常用的修辭手法有：漸進(clima_)、對照(antithesis)、排比(parallelism)、警句(epigram)等等，例如：

that government of the people, by the people, for the people

shall not perish from the earth．(排比)

這個民有、民治、民享的國家將不會從地球上消失。

united, there is little we can not do; divided, there is

little we can do．(對照)

團結，我們便將無所不能；分裂，我們則會一事無成。

let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that

we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship,

support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and

the success of liberty． (對照和漸進)

讓世界各國都知道，無論對我們懷有好感與敵意，我們將付出任何代價，肩負任何重任，面對任何艱辛，支持任何朋友，反對任何敵人，以確保自由的生存與成功。

what we should fear most is the fear itself．(警句)

我們最應恐懼的是恐懼本身。

ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do

for your country．(對照)

不要問你們的國家能為你們做些什么，而要問你們能為你們的國家做些什么。

設想一下，假如在我們的演講中能融入上述這樣運用得當的修辭手段，那我們的演講將會變得多么有力與動人

第3篇 英語演講:如何做好演講比賽的準備

good evening everyone!

i am here to give you some hints and suggestions on how to deliver a good speech, and how to win in this competition. though i know the professors seated down here especially my professor, my coach, ms. li yanshu are the right ones to tell you. therefore, i am here offering my fair share of speech competition e_perience as a participant of last year's final.

instead of going down into a detailed dos and don'ts, i need to, first and foremost share with you my understanding of this competition: '21st century lenovo cup english speech competition' has always been regarded as the most privileged and challenging english speech competition in the academtic field nation wide. one of you, among the 15 contestants, is going to present yourself along with other top speakers around china, even some parts of asia. wow, just imagine how many eyes will be on you; the media coverage; the applause after your speech and the honor the competition will bring you...

if all that i have described above are the very reasons why you are here today, allow me to tell you: please stop right here. don't go any furthur. because i guarantee you, in the very end, you will be disapponited: no matter what kind of glory you recieve, no matter if you have won the first place or not. because it is transitory. year after year, the face of the first place, or the top ten will fade. by then you may ask yourself this question: 'what can i get from it?' the answer i found through my own e_perience are:

1 the courage to present the best of you and the true colors of you in the public.

2 the friendship and communication between you and other people you will meet during the competition days.

3 the potential opportunities for your future.

as for the first point, i suggest you to read more: newspapers, news magazines and of course, your speech. do enough e_ercises with your coach and always always ask what other people think about your understanding. because they can be objective. when you are on the stage, convince the audience with you idea with full confidence and grace. always remember, content is as important as pronunciation and intonation.

as for the second point, value the assets you will obtain through the communications with the people you meet. they share the same passion of engish speaking with you, but hold diffrent understandings of the world. just think about the clashes of ideas...the e_citing debate and talks you will have. as for me personally, i still keep close contact with the contestants whom i met through every level of the competition, we call each other from time to time just to chat, and we help each other out when we can.

last but not least, the opportunities hidden along the way. when we step out of the ivory tower, we can't help but ask ourselves, with all i have learned, what can i do to contribute to the community? with all the skills i have learned, what can i do to acheive my personal best? we don't need thomas friedman to tell us that the world is flat, we know that inside and outside china there are millions of institutions crying for internationalized talents. we need the right platform to offer what we have, and learn the things that will keep us as the eliete of the society. i am very grateful to be offered a job at lenovo, at which i am e_posed to the world and having my own voice heard. as the year of 2022 is drawing near, since lenovo is the official world wide partner of the ioc, i am getting e_cited and energetic as how i was when i was preparing for the competition last year.

as for you, you can do much better than what i did, and you have the future ahead of you.

so, have faith in yourself, with confidence and grace, embrace changes and differences, you can acheieve more than you can imagine today!

now i shall leave the stage to you, the real contestants.

good luck to you all!

thank you.
