1
Obama does something really smart here.
2
Most presenters lose the room in the first 10 seconds.
3
Not because they're bad, but because they play it safe.
4
They start with their name,
5
role and a bunch of boring context.
6
Obama doesn't.
7
starts with surprise, something unexpected.
8
And you can do the same.
9
In this video I'll show you 5 powerful ways to start your next speech.
10
Let's start with the first one.
11
Check out these two openings and see if you can spot what they have in common.
12
How do you explain when others are able to achieve things that seem to defy all of the assumptions?
13
They both start with a question and questions are powerful
14
because the moment you ask one your audience engages Even
15
if they don't answer it out loud their brain instantly starts searching for an answer
16
and in that moment You have their full attention.
17
All right on to the second one.
18
This is the one that I use the most in my corporate career Sadly,
19
in the next 18 minutes when I do our chat,
20
four Americans that are alive will be dead through the food that they eat.
21
Okay, now I don't want to alarm anybody in this room,
22
but it's just come to my attention that the person to your right is a liar.
23
They both open with a surprising statement.
24
It can be a statistic,
25
a fact or a bold claim that challenges what people believe.
26
Something that makes your audience go, wait, is that true?
27
In that moment of doubt, that's attention.
28
Here's how you do it well.
29
First, say the statement slowly and own it.
30
For example, 400.
31
Then you pause.
32
The average office desk has 400 times more bacteria than the average toilet seat.
33
Then you pause again.
34
Let the surprise land before you move on.
35
Alright, let's go to the third one.
36
This one is simple but insanely powerful.
37
I'm going to show you two of the most viewed TED Talks of all time.
38
And I want you to spot what they have in common.
39
So, I'll start with this.
40
A couple of years ago,
41
an event planner called me because I was going to do a speaking event.
42
And she called and she said,
43
I'm really struggling with how to write about you on the little flyer.
44
And I thought, well, what's the struggle?
45
And she said, well, I saw you speak and I'm going to call you a researcher, I think.
46
But I'm afraid if I call you a researcher,
47
no one will come because they'll think you're boring and irrelevant.
48
It's funny the things you forget.
49
I went to see my mother the other day,
50
and she told me this story that I'd completely forgotten about,
51
how when we were driving together,
52
she would pull the car over.
53
And by the time she had got out of the car
54
and gone round the car to let me out the car I would have already got out the car
55
and pretended to have died.
56
They both start with a story and stories are powerful because they turn your talk into a movie.
57
The moment a story begins people stop analyzing and they start experiencing.
58
If you want instant attention, open with the story.
59
But here's the key.
60
Skip the long background and start right into the moment.
61
Where and when does the story take place?
62
What are you doing?
63
What is going wrong?
64
Drop your audience straight into the scene.
65
That's how powerful storytelling looks like.
66
Alright, let's go to the next one.
67
Number four.
68
At the start of your talk,
69
your audience has one question.
70
What's in it for me?
71
And the next speaker answers that perfectly.
72
And what I want to suggest to you is that many of you are one well-constructed,
73
well-delivered talk away from absolute explosion of what it is that you want to do.
74
He starts with a big promise.
75
A big promise tells your audience what they will get by listening to you.
76
Not what you will talk about,
77
but what they will gain.
78
For example, instead of saying,
79
Today I will talk about body language.
80
Say, by the end of this talk,
81
you'll know how to appear confident in any high pressure situation.
82
Now that's a promise worth listening.
83
But let's now go to the fifth one.
84
This one is, I would say,
85
a little bit more advanced,
86
but when you do it well, it's magical.
87
Watch how these two public speaking world champions start their speeches.
88
They both start with a visual action hook.
89
Meaning, they don't just say something interesting, they do something interesting.
90
Something unexpected.
91
Something that looks slightly odd on stage.
92
Not slightly, actually very odd on stage.
93
And that instantly wakes people up.
94
The examples you just saw are powerful.
95
And yes, they are big.
96
But you don't have to go that far.
97
A visual action hook can be much simpler.
98
For example, it could be you walking on stage and saying nothing for 5 seconds,
99
or you holding up an object without explaining it,
100
or you writing a word on a flip chart before speaking.
101
Same principle, you do something unexpected that makes people curious.
102
That's it.
103
Hooks are super important, but they are only the beginning.
104
What really matters is whether people understand your ideas.
105
In the next video I'll show you how to explain your thinking clearly so people can actually follow and remember it.
106
See you there.

语境与背景

在今天的演讲中,我们探讨了如何开场才能让听众惊叹并投入注意力。许多演讲者在开场的10秒钟内就失去了观众的关注,通常是因为他们选择安全的方式,介绍自己的名字、角色以及一些乏味的背景信息。然而,有效的演讲开场可以使用惊喜和提问来吸引听众。这种方法不仅适用于演讲同样适用于日常交流,提升了口语表达能力。在这个视频中,我们总结了五种强力的开场方式,帮助你在演讲和雅思口语练习中脱颖而出。

每日交流的五句经典短语

  • “你认为……如何?”(这个问题可以让听众开始思考并参与到讨论中。)
  • “根据统计,……”(引入一些意想不到的统计数据来引发好奇。)
  • “我刚刚了解到……”(一种引人入胜的开场方式,瞬间吸引注意力。)
  • “我有一个惊人的事实要分享……”(这种陈述会引起观众的兴趣和怀疑。)
  • “你是否曾想过……?”(通过提问来激发观众的思维。)

逐步跟读指导

为了有效地在演讲中运用这些开场技巧,掌握影子跟读(shadow speak)是必不可少的。以下是逐步的指导,帮助你应对这个视频中的挑战,提高英语口语水平:

  1. 选择短语:挑选视频中的经典短语,确保这些短语适用于你的日常交流场合。
  2. 慢速聆听:在影子跟读时,先慢速聆听每一句话,理解句子的结构和发音。
  3. 重复练习:一遍又一遍地模仿演讲者的语调和节奏,力求达到完美发音。
  4. 增加难度:逐渐加快跟读的速度,以适应更快的语速。同时,可以尝试将这些短语融入到你的雅思口语练习中。
  5. 反馈调整:可以录制自己的声音,反复回听,以了解并修正自己的不足之处。

通过这些步骤,你能够提高你的英语口语能力,有效运用每一个令人印象深刻的开场短语。无论是日常交流还是雅思口语练习,掌握这些技巧将使你的演讲更具魅力,吸引听众的注意。

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。
