If you want to be an outstanding talent in the workplace, you must have a good eloquence. It is possible to improve your eloquence through practice. (extract an article for reference)
Eloquence is not born, it is trained hard. All eloquent orators and orators in ancient and modern Chinese and foreign history. They all succeeded through hard training.
In order to practice his eloquence, former US President Lincoln walked 30 miles to a court to listen to lawyers' arguments and see how they argued and made gestures. He listened and imitated them. He heard evangelists from afar waving their arms and trembling in the sky, and he also learned from them when he came back. He used to practice eloquence against trees, stumps and rows of corn.
Former Japanese Prime Minister tanaka kakuei suffered from stuttering as a teenager, but he was not intimidated by difficulties. In order to overcome stuttering and practice eloquence, he often recites and reads the text slowly. In order to pronounce correctly, he corrected his mouth and tongue root in front of the mirror, carefully and carefully.
Xiao Chunv was an early proletarian revolutionist and orator in China. He trained hard at ordinary times and developed extraordinary eloquence. When Xiao Chunv was teaching in Chongqing National No.2 Women's Normal School, in addition to preparing lessons carefully, she ran to the mountain behind the school at dawn every day, found a secluded place, hung a mirror on the branch, and began to practice speaking in front of the mirror, observing her expressions and movements from the mirror. After such hard training, he mastered the superb art of speaking and his teaching level improved rapidly. From 65438 to 0926, at the age of 30, he worked in the Guangzhou Peasant Movement Workshop sponsored by Comrade Mao Zedong, and his speech was highly praised by the world.
Hua is a famous mathematician in China. He not only has outstanding mathematical talent, but also is a rare "debater". Since childhood, he has paid attention to cultivating his eloquence and learning Mandarin. He also recited four or five hundred Tang poems to exercise his "tongue".
These celebrities and great men set a brilliant example for us to train our eloquence. If we want to practice a pair of excellent eloquence, we must be as meticulous and diligent as they are, just as Mr. Hua said in summing up the experience of practicing eloquence: "Diligence is good training, and one effort is one talent."
Practicing eloquence requires not only hard work, but also mastering certain methods. Scientific methods can make you get twice the result with half the effort and accelerate the formation of your eloquence. Of course, according to everyone's knowledge, environment, age, etc. There will be different ways to practice eloquence, but as long as you choose the method that suits you best, coupled with persistent hard training, then you will grow rapidly on the road of eloquence.
This paper introduces several simple, easy and effective eloquence training methods that meet the characteristics of students.
(1) speed reading method
"Reading" here means reading aloud, that is, reading with your mouth, not with your eyes. As the name implies, "speed reading" means reading quickly.
The purpose of this training method is to train people to articulate, pronounce accurately and pronounce clearly.
Methods: Find a speech or a beautiful essay. First bring a dictionary and a dictionary, find out the words and phrases you don't know or understand in the article, make them clear, make them clear, and then start reading aloud. Generally speaking, you start reading slowly, gradually speed up, read faster every time, and finally reach the fastest speed you can reach.
Requirements: Do not pause when reading aloud, pronounce accurately, enunciate clearly, and try to complete the pronunciation as much as possible. Because if you don't pronounce every sound completely, then if you speed up again, others can't hear you clearly, and it will soon lose its meaning. Our speaking speed must be based on clear articulation and clean pronunciation. We have all heard the explanation of sports program expert Song Shixiong, and his explanation is very "quick". Song Shixiong's explanation of "fast" is fast but not chaotic. Every word and every sound is pronounced very clearly and accurately without any ambiguity. We hope to achieve fast, that is, his fast, clear and accurate pronunciation, not for fast and fast.
The advantage of speed reading is that it is not limited by time and place, no matter when and where. You can practice as long as you have an article at hand. Moreover, it is not limited by personnel, and one person can do it independently without the cooperation of others. Of course, you can also find a classmate to listen to your speed reading practice and ask him to help you find faults in speed reading. For example, which word is not pronounced accurately enough, which place is not pronounced clearly, etc., which is more conducive to your purposeful correction and study. You can also record your own speed reading with a tape recorder, and then listen to it yourself to find out the shortcomings and make improvements. It would be better if there were teachers to guide us.
(2) Recitation method
All the students recited the text. There are poems, essays and novels. The purpose of reciting is different. Some have to recite because of the teacher's requirements to complete the learning tasks assigned by the teacher; Some are to recite a famous poem or sentence to enrich their literary accomplishment. The main purpose of reciting that we advocate is to exercise eloquence.
The recitation we ask is not only asking you to recite a speech or essay, but also asking you to recite it. This kind of training has two purposes: one is to cultivate memory ability, and the other is to cultivate oral expression ability.
Memory is a necessary quality to practice eloquence. Without a good memory, it is impossible to cultivate exports. Only when knowledge is fully accumulated in your brain can you open your mouth and talk endlessly. If your mind is blank, no matter how glib you are, it won't help. Memory, like eloquence, is not a natural gift, and acquired exercise also plays a vital role in it. "Back" is the cultivation of this ability.
"Reciting" is a kind of training for expression ability. The "recitation" here is what we often say. It needs expressive expression on the basis of accurately grasping the content of the article.
Recitation method is different from the speed reading method we talked about earlier. Speed reading focuses on "fast" and reciting focuses on "accuracy". In other words, the speech or article you recite must be accurate, there must be no omissions or mistakes, and you must pronounce it accurately.
The method is: step one, first choose a speech, prose and poem that you like; The second step is to analyze and understand the selected materials and understand the author's thoughts and feelings. It takes some time, we need to analyze sentence by sentence, consider every word, feel the author's thoughts and feelings, and stimulate our own feelings; The third step is to make some artistic treatment on the selected speeches, essays and poems. , such as finding stress, dividing pauses, etc. , which is conducive to accurate expression of content; The fourth step is to recite on the basis of the above steps. In the process of reciting, you can also step by step. First of all, carry out "back" training. Is to memorize the article first. At this stage, emotional fullness is not required. As long as you can memorize skillfully. And in the process of reciting, we can further understand the style and rhythm of the works, and lay a more solid foundation for accurately grasping the works. Second, read aloud on the basis of reciting the article. Recite your speeches, articles, poems, etc. Recite aloud, always pay attention to the correctness of pronunciation, and with certain feelings. Third, it is the last step of this training, reciting with full emotion, accurate language and intonation.
The requirement here is to remember the article accurately and express the thoughts and feelings of the work accurately. For example, if we want to recite Gorky's Haiyan, we must first understand that it is a prose poem. It heralds the coming of the revolutionary storm and eulogizes the image of the proletarian soldier Haiyan. The whole prose poem is passionate, expressing the revolutionary's irresistible love and hate. Then when reciting Haiyan, you should grasp this tune. Of course, it is not enough just to grasp the tone of the work. We also need to do some technical processing on the work, such as dividing paragraphs, determining stress, pausing and so on. Plain, no waves, no ups and downs, and finally reciting will not succeed. Some people grasp the tone of Haiyan when reciting it, but don't pay attention to the skills of reciting it, so they set their mouths at the highest tone. As a result, when they reach the highest point of expressing their feelings, they can only scream and do their best. We say this is also because it is not accurate enough. If we have an accurate grasp of the development of the author's thoughts and feelings, we will not make similar mistakes.
It is best to have the guidance of the teacher, especially the recitation skills. If we don't have this condition, we can also ask our classmates for help, let them recite it by themselves, and then point out the shortcomings, so that we can have a foundation for improvement and it is very good for practicing eloquence.
(3) Sound practice methods
Practicing voice is practicing voice, practicing voice. In life, we all like to listen to those full, round and pleasant sounds, rather than dry, hoarse and dry sounds. So it is necessary for us to develop a good voice and a nice voice.
The way to practice your voice is: the first step is to practice your breath. As the saying goes, practice your breath first, then your voice. Breath is the driving force of human voice, just like the engine in a car, and it is the basis of voice. The size of breath is directly related to sound production. Insufficient qi, weak voice, excessive force, damage to vocal cords. Therefore, when we practice our voice, we must first learn to use gas.
Inhale: Inhale deeply, the lower abdomen contracts, the whole chest should be opened, and as much air as possible should be inhaled. When you smell a fragrance, we can experience the inhalation method. Be careful not to lift your shoulders when inhaling.
Exhale: Exhale slowly. Let the breath exhale slowly. Because when we speak, recite and debate, we sometimes need a long breath, and only by slowly breathing can we achieve this goal. You can basically close your teeth when you exhale. Leave a small gap to let the breath pass slowly.
Learn the basic methods of inhaling and exhaling. You can do this exercise outdoors and in the park every day. Take a deep breath and it will be effective for a long time.
Step two, practice your voice. We know that the sound source of human language is on the vocal cords, that is, our voice is produced by the vibration of the vocal cords by airflow.
Do some preparatory work before practicing pronunciation. First of all, relax the vocal cords, vibrate with some gentle airflow, make the sound a little prepared, make some gentle sounds, and don't shout with your mouth open, which will only destroy the vocal cords. Just like before we do strenuous exercise, we should do some preparatory actions, otherwise it is easy to strain our muscles.
The vocal cords are active, so we should do some preparatory activities in the mouth. We know that the mouth is an important buzzer for human beings, and the loudness and roundness of sound are directly related to the mouth, so don't underestimate the role of the mouth.
Oral activities can be carried out in the following ways:
First, practice opening and closing your mouth and exercise your masticatory muscles, that is, your dough. In this way, the masticatory muscles will move easily when practicing voice.
Second, it is quite soft. This method can be realized by imitating the "gāgā" sound of ducks.
The human body also has an important buzzer, which is the nasal cavity. Some people only try hard on their throats when pronouncing, and there are no two * * * devices on the chest and nose at all, so the voice is thin and the timbre is poor. The way to practice singing through the nasal cavity is to learn from Niu Jiao. However, it must be noted that if you only sing through the nasal cavity when you talk on weekdays, it may also cause a heavy nasal sound.
It should also be noted that when practicing vocal music, never go outside to practice when you wake up in the morning, which will damage the vocal cords. Especially when the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is large, don't shout with your mouth open. Cold air will stimulate the vocal cords after entering your mouth.
Third, practice the pronunciation of words. Pronunciation seems to be far away from pronunciation, but in fact they are closely related. Only when the pronunciation is accurate, clear and mellow can the pronunciation be "clear and mellow".
We all studied Pinyin in primary school, and we all know that every word is composed of a syllable, and a syllable can be divided into three parts: the prefix, the belly and the suffix. These three parts can be divided from the phonetic structure. Generally speaking, the prefix is an initial, the belly is a vowel and the tail is a vowel.
Be sure to bite the prefix when you send words. There is a saying that "pronunciation is as heavy as a thousand pounds, and the listener will automatically let it go." So we must bite the prefix tightly when pronouncing. At this time, our lips must be strong. We should put the power of pronunciation on the prefix, and circle the belly and suffix with the prefix.
The pronunciation of the stomach must be full and full, and the mouth shape must be correct. The voice should be standing; Instead of sideways, it should be round, not flat. But if it is not handled well, it is easy to make the sound flat, flat and round.
Suffix, mainly belongs to sound. Return tones must be home and complete. That is, instead of pronouncing the word "half", the whole tone is pronounced. Of course, the suffix should also stop, and the sound should not drag on too long.
If you can follow the above practice requirements, your pronunciation will be round and loud, and your voice will become beautiful.
