So, youe going to give a speech. Feeling nervous? Well, youe normal. But by learning a few basics about public speaking, you can take the platform with confidence.
Any good speech begins with planning. The main part, the body, should contain two to five main ideas. Support these ideas with examples, statistics or personal stories that add life and warmth. But be careful not to wander too far from the main ideas.

With the body organized, you can think of an introduction. This should grab the listeners?attention. So you want it catchyut not corny. It wise not to try a joke that might fall flat. But a story with a little humor is usually safe. A more serious talk can begin with a quotation or a thoughtful question.
To end your speech, summarize the main ideas, and tie your conclusion to the introduction. That will give unity to the whole speech.
主要內容完成後，就可以構想開場白。這個部份必須抓住聽眾的注意力。開場白應該有趣且易記，但不老套。因此不要使用可能不好笑的笑話。但帶點幽默的小故事通常很安全。較嚴肅的主題可由一句引言或引人深思的問題開始。
要結束時，總結重點，再將結論引申回開場白，這樣的話，演講內容才會前後一致。

Audiences warm to speakers who talk and act naturally. On the platform, stand straight, yet relaxed. Use gestures when appropriate to help you communicate. Moving a bit will help you look and feel at ease.
Speak in a friendly, conversational tone. Rather than reading, use brief notes to help you remember key points. And don't rush! Give the audience time to absorb your ideas.
觀眾喜歡談話及手勢自然的演講者。在講台上輕鬆自然地站直。適時地用一些手勢幫助溝通。稍微走動可以幫助你看起來、且實際覺得自在。
演講時，使用友善及交談式的聲調。不要讀演講稿，使用簡短的筆記幫助你記住重點。不要急，給你的聽眾足夠的時間來吸收你的看法。
