1.演讲前的准备 准备是搞好演讲的前提。首先是要确立一个题目或一个话题。一般演讲赛都分为命题演讲和即兴演讲。如要进行演讲比赛则必须对各个方面加以准备：政治、经济、文化、教育等，找好立意点，拟定题目，如政治方面的演讲主题：WTO、统
一、和平与发展、机遇与挑战；经济方面演讲主题：西部大开发、农村经济、再就业；教育方面演讲方题：中西方教育的不同、远程教育、终身教育、枪手；文化方面演讲主题：文化的交流与融合、校园文化；环保方面演讲主题：man and nature；科技方面演讲主题：网络、克隆、基因；卫生方面演讲主题：keep physically and mentally healthy；体育方面演讲主题：Olympics……有些方面题目太大，可从多角度和多侧面思考，找好切入点，将题目细化和具体化，写出演讲稿的提纲，构思和组织演讲稿结构。 拟定好话题后的第二步就是演讲材料的收集与整理。其中最好的方法就是有计划地阅读大量的英语原文以及各类英语报刊杂志，阅读是一个循序渐进的过程，同时也是培养英语思维的过程，对提高英语的口头表达能力和书面表达能力是至关重要的。利用有关资源与材料（如图书、报刊、杂志或网络资源等）收集所需的内容。然后对材料加以整理或进行梳理，舍弃不太重要的内容或用不上的材料，准备写演讲稿。 2 演讲稿的写作 演讲稿首先开头要开门见山，既要一下子抓住听众又要提出你的观点，中间要用各种方法和所准备的材料说明、支持你的论点，感染听众，然后在结尾加强说明论点或得出结论，结束演讲。 演讲稿的写作有严格的要求，就内容而言要主题鲜明，表达完整；就文章组织结构而言要思维清晰，逻辑性强；就语言而言要有感染力、形象生动。写作时可根据需要有效、正确地使用英语写作方法和技巧，如恰当地运用明喻、暗喻、夸张等各种修辞方法，用词要准确，尽量避免使用生僻、模糊、晦涩的字词。总之，要考虑听众对象，注意演讲的措辞，但又要简明扼要、有理有力、结构紧凑。许多著名的演说家的不朽之作都有振奋人心、扭转乾坤般的力量。从马丁．路德．金的“I have a dream”，美国总统林肯所作的著名的盖茨堡演说，到克林顿在北大的演说，不少句子都成为不朽的佳句，值得认真研读.3进行演讲 具备演讲的知识和技巧，演讲稿的完成只是演讲的序幕，要进行成功的演讲则要进行严格的训练。训练时，分析演讲要领，训练演讲技巧和姿势语，观看CCTV杯和爱立信杯等英语演讲的录像，了解并按照比赛评分标准进行严格的模拟训练，观察演讲过程是否具备以下特点：主题鲜明，表达完整（演讲内容）；思维清晰，逻辑性强（文章组织结构）；感情充沛，富有表现力（演讲气势）；发音正确，语音语调标准（英语语音）；反应敏捷，回答准确（心理素质）；着装整洁，仪态大方等等。 除此之外，还要有良好的心理素质。多进行模拟演讲，有良好的心理素质，才能更好地表现自己，取得演讲的良好效果。有的同学能讲一口地道的美式英语，但由于缺乏良好的心理素质而怯场，甚至在比赛中紧张得说不出话来或有一些不良的举止而被淘汰出局。 有了充分的准备，进行演讲就不太难了。在演讲的整个过程中还要注意一些演讲的要领与技巧，如演讲者与听众目光的接触（eye contact），声音的抑扬顿挫（vocal variety），和肢体语言的配合（hand gestures and body language）等等，但要恰当，不要太多，否则会喧宾夺主，影响演讲效果。 掌握了这些要领，有了充分的知识储备，再加上良好的心理素质，一定会成功的 .
