12 opening remarks

12 practical speech opening remarks

One. Start with the foil

This can broaden the audience's horizons and make the literary vision more clear in the "cloud", such as "Ode to a New Woman":

"Some people worship women who have made a difference in their careers, some people worship gentle and virtuous women in their lives, and others worship women who are successful in their careers and have a good wife and mother in their families. And I admire those progressive new women who dare to deny themselves and declare war on the old consciousness. "

Two. Let's make a metaphor first.

Take metaphor and reason, turn abstraction into concreteness, and put opinions in opinions. Such as "greatness in the ordinary":

"Candles are very common, and the light is not strong, but they can bring us light; Grass, small but not tall, can decorate spring. We are ordinary, but we should learn from candles and burn ourselves to illuminate others; Learn from the grass and write great poems on ordinary land. "

The metaphor is thought-provoking and intriguing.

Three. Problem solving formula

This kind of opening briefly explains and explains the meaning of the topic of the speech, so that we can naturally and smoothly transfer to the discussion of the text. For example:

At the graduation ceremony of a "speech and eloquence training class", a policeman followed by a salesperson gave a speech. He borrowed the end of the salesperson's speech to lead to his own beginning. It is smooth, natural, vivid and interesting to undertake. He said, "Comrades, just now the clerk said that you are welcome to the department store. What about me? But you are not welcome to come to me, because I am from the traffic police brigade of XX Public Security Bureau. Speaking of traffic police, someone gave us a nickname-"road nail". Today, I'm going to talk about what a road stud is.

Such a funny beginning not only briefly explains the meaning of the topic, but also has the characteristics of improvisation.

At the beginning of the solution formula, we should avoid verbosity and tautology. At the same time, when undertaking the contents of the previous speech, we should strive to be unconventional, not artificial, not make-up, and not bragging.

Four. Dominant expression

This is a common way to start. This method starts with a clear meaning, comes straight to the point, summarizes the main contents, directly reveals the theme and explains the intention. For example, Love of Soldiers.

Hearing this topic, many comrades present here may think of love. Yes, love is sacred and beautiful. However, what I want to talk about today is a kind of love with higher meaning and stronger vitality. This is the love of soldiers!

Famous sayings, aphorisms, proverbs, etc. In the early Ming Dynasty,-tenor was commonly used. -because these words are concise, philosophical and thought-provoking, you can make an outline and make the finishing touch of the speech. Such as "evergreen tree of life"

The great poet Goethe once said, "The tree of life is evergreen." Yes, life is brought by sunshine. It should be like sunshine. Don't waste it, let it shine on the world.

At the beginning of the clear theme, we should try our best to highlight the key points and make the language accurate and concise. It is not appropriate to beat around the bush and over-render, otherwise it will easily lead to bloated beginning and imbalance with the main body. This way of opening is often used in more solemn speeches.

Five. Lyric style

This kind of opening is intended to exaggerate the atmosphere, influence people's hearts, and let the audience get emotional contagion quickly and pay attention to the content of the speech. This kind of beginning mostly adopts rhetorical devices such as parallelism, metaphor and analogy; Often use poetic language, and some simply quote poetry directly, which is natural and beautiful, vivid and charming. For example, "I am the star at night"

Sailors like to compare themselves to petrels chasing waves, pilots like to compare themselves to eagles fighting in the sky, and our guard soldiers like to compare themselves to shining stars in the night. Isn't it? When the bright moon is in the sky and the night is still, the tired people have fallen asleep. Isn't there a pair of vigilant eyes flashing in every corner of the motherland? It is like the stars in the sky, staring sleepily at the earth, searching for every suspicious target. ...

This passage is similar to the beginning of a prose poem, with clever conception, appropriate metaphor and vivid language image.

At the beginning of lyrical style, there must be sincere feelings, and affectation and "lyricism" are not allowed. If the stage is full of students' voices, "moaning without illness" will make people turn off their appetite.

Six. Indicating type

This opening method is often used in military speeches, court speeches or academic speeches. It first gives the audience a perceptual and intuitive impression by displaying physical objects, and then puts forward and expounds its own views with the help of specific physical objects. For example, military speeches first show the audience military wall charts or battlefield objects, academic speeches first show scientific research results or charts, and court speeches show evidence. Such as: "Struggle-Eternal Melody"

I brought you a present today. (Holding up a small copper box) I have treasured it for more than five years. It not only changed my fate, but also made me understand that the burden on my shoulders is more than a thousand kilograms. You must want to know what this is. Then listen to a true story about myself. ...

The beginning of this introduction naturally left suspense for the audience. Then, the speaker continued to take the copper box as a clue. Speaking of the key points, I excitedly opened the copper box and took out the words "fight to the end" written in blood, which made the audience have a strong emotional impulse.

Seven. Start with daily life or personal experience.

"Today, I want to take this podium to tell you what the first sentence my wife and I said on our first night of marriage. On the wedding night, my wife touched me shyly and said,' Hey! "I have something to tell you," I quickly said happily,' Go, go! "Go ahead," my wife said, "My home is in the countryside, and the conditions are not good. It is not easy for my mother to train me to go to school. Join the work after graduation and send some money back to my mother every month. Now that we are married, do you think we will send them later?' I never thought that my wife would ask such a question. What should I say? I said,' From today on, your mother will be my mother. "What about my mother," the wife said with a smile. "My mother, of course. Well, I'll tell you: your mother and my mother are both mothers. "

Eight. Start with humorous language.

John Locke, an American black leader, said, "Ladies and gentlemen-I'm here not so much to give a speech as to add a little color to this occasion." .

This is a self-deprecating opening remark, which caused the whole audience to burst into laughter. Laughter plays down the psychological barriers caused by racial differences and makes heavy topics easy.

The famous calligrapher Qi Gong also likes to talk humorously. Once I attended an academic seminar, the host said, "Please ask Qi Lao for instructions." What Kai Lao received was: "It's really shameless to give instructions, because my ancestors lived in the northeast, were Manchu, belonged to ethnic minorities, and were called' conference semifinals' in history, so what I said next was full of' nonsense' ..."

These words made the audience laugh.

Nine. Start with a human scene.

"The teacher in charge arranged for me to be the monitor. If I had any worries about being a good monitor before I took office, I am confident now! Why? Because from warm applause, from a pair of bright eyes, I saw two words: "trust"! Students, what is more inspiring than trust? "

Start with Tenuto in a simple style.

In the speech "What is a person", a speaker went straight to the point at the beginning:

"Different people have different understandings of what a man is. My point is: a man does not have to be glamorous and majestic, nor does he have to have a stalwart body and a strong physique, but he must have a spirit of being responsible for the country, the people and the country and a noble personality who stands up at critical moments. "

The speaker didn't drag his feet, but "appeared" at the beginning, which left a deep impression on the audience.

Eleven. ask questions

The speaker raises one or several unexpected questions at the beginning, which arouses the excitement of the audience's neurons, can quickly arouse the audience's interest and attention, shorten the distance between the speaker and the audience, and deepen the audience's memory and understanding of the questions. For example:

1980 Fudan University held a speech contest on "Youth and the Motherland". At that time, for various reasons, the venue was noisy and it was difficult to be quiet. At this time, a classmate came on stage. As soon as he started, he immediately reversed the chaos and firmly grasped the hearts of the audience. He said, "I want to ask a question." The audience was immediately attracted by his novel opening form. He paused and continued: "Who can sum up the relationship between youth and the motherland in one sentence?" The audience was full of comments and active emotions. He immediately led the leader and said, "This relationship can be summarized by the word' root'." "We young people have a surname of * * *, which is' China'; There is a name with the same name as * * *, which is' root'. Chinese roots should be the proudest and most glorious name of China youth! " As soon as the voice fell, the audience immediately applauded.

This question was novel and unique from the beginning, unexpected and refreshing, which aroused the audience's strong interest.

When a student "walks out of the misunderstanding and realizes the value", he begins like this:

"Students, at present, we college students are facing unprecedented difficulties in finding jobs. What is the reason? Is there too many talents in our country? Is what we have learned out of date? Or are our eyes no longer able to meet the needs of society? Faced with so many problems, how do we college students who are about to leave school deal with this phenomenon? "

A series of questions immediately caught the audience.

At the beginning of questioning, we should pay attention to: don't ask questions for the sake of asking questions, the information to be asked should be adapted to the object and occasion, and at the same time, we should pay attention to the rationality and certainty of the content, so as to make the audience feel fresh and unexpected, stimulate the audience to think positively, and be closely related to the questions described later, which can subtly and naturally lead to the main content of the speech.

Twelve. Narrative style

At the beginning, the speaker tells the latest anecdotes, shocking events or vivid and touching stories. At the beginning, because the story has the characteristics of vivid plot and novel content, it is easy to win the attention of the audience, arouse suspense and interest of the audience. For example, the speech "Save the Children" begins like this:

On May 24th last year, Xinmin Evening News revealed the fact that a fourth-grade pupil had to take his parents' shelled eggs to school every day. On one occasion, parents forgot to peel eggs and almost choked their children to death. He looked around at the eggs and didn't know how to eat them. As a result, I had to bring back the original eggs. Mother asked him why he didn't eat eggs, and the answer was simple: how to eat without sewing!

Through the beginning of this short story, the whole society and family are paying attention to the statement "save the children". Then, the author asks whether all teachers and parents should also consider our students' social life ability. Can they stand on their own feet and make contributions to society in the future?

At the beginning of a contestant's speech "The Truth of Love":

"I read a news in the newspaper recently: a young man and a young woman are in love, and the young woman suddenly fell ill and paralyzed. But the young man didn't leave her, but tried his best to help her cure the disease, and stayed by her side after work to feed her food and medicine. Under the pressure of society and family, he kept it for five years! Just the day before the young woman was going to have a major operation, the young man found a flatbed and took the young woman to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate, and told her,' Don't worry about the operation! Whatever the outcome, I will be your husband. "

The initial requirements for arousing interest with stories: the narrative is concise, short and pithy, and can't be wordy; The matter itself should be targeted, thought-provoking and arouse the interest of the audience; Narration should be closely related to the central theme.
