1
Hi everyone, my name is Anne Ricketts with Lighthouse Communications and today we're talking about how to be on point.
2
In other words, how can you be clear, concise, and persuasive when you communicate, which is something that we all want.
3
The first thing, right, may seem obvious, but it is your point, so get to it.
4
Get to your point.
5
A lot of times people give background information
6
and they lead up into their point and
7
if you look around you see a lot of confused faces so you want to reverse that.
8
Start with your point and then explain.
9
This goes for emails, conversations, whatever.
10
Just start with your point.
11
If you do this the listener has to do very little work to understand where you're going.
12
I want to share with you an outline
13
that you can use to help structure your points to ensure that they're clear and concise.
14
It's called PREP and PREP stands for point, reason, example, point summarized.
15
Let me give you an example.
16
Let's say that we're having a meeting and we're discussing whether or not we should release a product.
17
So we have this due date, we want to release it in time, but there are some glitches and we're not quite sure what we should do.
18
So we're going back and forth.
19
So I'm going to use prep to structure my point.
20
I think that we should hold off on the product release for two weeks
21
because we don't want a firestorm of complaints for users.
22
It would be bad press and we don't need that.
23
For example, last year in May 2013, we were in a very similar situation.
24
We felt pressure to release the product in time, but there were a few glitches and we decided to go ahead and release it.
25
Within 48 hours we were inundated with complaints, we got some bad press, and I believe at that time we all agreed that it would have been in our best interest to hold off.
26
So based on our negative experience from last year, I really, really think we should not repeat the same mistake.
27
I like to compare using this prep outline to using the Google Map app
28
when you're on a road trip know where to start, you know where you're going, and the best part about it is you know when to stop.
29
So again, this is Anne Ricketts with Lighthouse Communications.

Thank you so much.

练习技巧

在练习时,可以借助 shadowspeak 方法进行模仿。选择视频中的某些片段,尽量在与演讲者相同的速度和语调下复述内容。这种 shadowing 技巧对提高您的语言流利度非常有帮助。在视频中,Anne Ricketts清晰的语调和明确的表达是模仿的最佳对象。

尽量集中注意力听她的发音和语风,这将帮助您改善自己的发音和语调。进行 雅思口语练习 时,您也可以 utilizar类似的 shadowspeaks 方法,通过这种技巧来提高您应对不同场景的能力。此外,确保您在练习时自信地用英语表达,尽量减少对自己错误的担忧。

什么是跟读法?

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
