First impressions are important.在學術演講中,開頭決定了聽眾對你的第一印象。因此一個好的開頭,不僅能快速吸引聽眾的注意力,激發聽眾的興趣,讓他們專注于你的演講內容,而且更有助于緩解緊張,提升你的信心,幫助你在接下來的presentation中表現更加放松自信。接下來,讓我們一起來看一下常見的幾種開場方式~
Traffic jams are more than a nuisance. In major U.S. cities, they are responsible for more than 21 billion liters of wasted fuel and 68 billion dollars in lost productivity.
A silent killer is striking somewhere in China. Controllable but incurable, the silent killer is a symptomless disease. You can have it for years and never know until it falls you. As many as 300 million Chinese have this disease, and more than half a million will die from it this year. Odds are that one in five of us in this room have it.
提問可分為兩種,一種是單個問題,如主題是鄉鎮企業的現狀,可以提問”Do you know how many township enterprises are started each year in China?”。
第二種則是提出一系列的問題,但我們需要注意,這些問題需要越來深入,引出主題。如主題是時間管理,可以采用如下提問,“Have you ever spent a sleepless night writing a paper? Can you remember rushing to finish a project because you waited too long to start? Do you often feel overwhelmed by all the things you have to get done?“,問題從具體到抽象,進而引出演講主題。
