准备英语演讲稿(3篇)

第1篇 如何准备英语演讲稿

1．根据听众对象，注意演讲的总体措词

演讲的总体措词是严肃一些还是活泼一些，是有较明显的说教口气还是用平等的口吻，等等，都要根据听众对象而定。如果场下听众是同龄的学生，那么演讲的内容只要风趣一些往往就能引起共鸣。但另一方面，如果听众大多是上了年纪的教师，太多的笑料反而会被认为“不严肃”，“不尊重”，而引起反感。

用英语演讲，不要用太多 i feel, i think，老是用i，显得十分主观，狭隘。如果通篇全是 i feel, i

think 的内容，会给人觉得缺乏说服力。另外，perhaps, maybe

这样的词语，虽然有“客气，谦虚”的成分，但太多会让人觉得你演讲的内容有不可靠之处。

还有，在演讲中，要少用you，多用we。用you等于把自己与听众对立起来，而用we则拉近了与听众的距离。比如：you

should not smoke．听上去像教训人，而 let's not smoke听起来是一个不错的建议。

2．演讲要越短越好 of the people, by the people, for the

people(民有，民治，民享)已成为不朽佳句。对于中学生来说，这篇演讲现在读起来一定会觉得很难，但要写好英语演讲，这确实是值得认真研读的经典之作。

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.

其实，我们中学生练习写演讲稿，可以短些，从4～5分钟，500～600个词，围绕一个主题开始练习。

3．英语演讲稿的基本组成部分

从大的方面看，英语演讲词实际上是属于一种特殊的说明文或议论文，其基本组成部分是：

1)开始时对听众的称呼语

最常用的是 ladies and gentlemen，也可根据不同情况，选用 fellow students,

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

2)提出论题

由于演讲的时间限制，必须开门见山，提出论题。提出论题的方法有各种各样，但最生动，最能引起注意的是用举例法。比如：你要呼吁大家关心贫穷地区的孩子，你可以用亲眼看到的或者收集到的那些贫穷孩子多么需要帮助的实例开始。另外，用具体的统计数据也是一个有效的引出论题的方法，比如：你要谈遵守交通规则的话题，你可以从举一系列有关车辆、车祸等的数据开始。

3)论证

对提出的论题，不可主观地妄下结论，而要进行客观的论证。这是演讲中最需要下功夫的部分。关键是要把道理讲清楚。常见的论证方法有举例法、因果法、对比法等等，可参见英语议论文的有关章节。

4)结论

结论要简明扼要，以给听众留下深刻印象。

5)结尾

结尾要简洁，不要拉拉扯扯，说个没完。特别是不要受汉语影响，说些类似“准备不足，请谅解”，“请批评指正”这样的废话。最普通的结尾就是：thank

you very much for your attention。

4．英语演讲稿的语言特征

1)多用实词，多用短句，少用结构复杂的长句

在英语演讲中，and, but, so, then 等虚词要尽量少用，that, which

等词引导的定语从句也只会使句子结构变得复杂，而使听众难以跟上演讲者的思路，从而影响演讲的效果。相反，多使用实词，短句，可使得演讲内容更清晰，气势更磅礴。

2)演讲要注意使用各种修辞手法，增加演讲的感染力和气势。英语演讲中常用的修辞手法有：渐进(clima_)、对照(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)

这个民有、民治、民享的国家将不会从地球上消失。

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

little we can do．(对照)

团结，我们便将无所不能；分裂，我们则会一事无成。

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． (对照和渐进)

让世界各国都知道，无论对我们怀有好感与敌意，我们将付出任何代价，肩负任何重任，面对任何艰辛，支持任何朋友，反对任何敌人，以确保自由的生存与成功。

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

我们最应恐惧的是恐惧本身。

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

for your country．(对照)

不要问你们的国家能为你们做些什么，而要问你们能为你们的国家做些什么。

设想一下，假如在我们的演讲中能融入上述这样运用得当的修辞手段，那我们的演讲将会变得多么有力与动人

第3篇 英语演讲:如何做好演讲比赛的准备

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.
