正在创建课程...
1
What are the first words you should say in a speech?
2
And what are the last words you should say in a speech?
3
Now tomorrow, I don't know how many of you are speaking, but I guarantee if you go to conferences,
4
19 out of 20 speakers will start in one of these ways.
5
Number one, my name is Connor Neal, I'm from Tango, Tango and this talk is about the latest trend in monitoring strategies
6
Now all of you are sitting with a piece of paper in front of you
7
that says I'm Connor Neal I've come from Ireland, and I'm going to talk about tango 04 on this
8
So by repeating what you already know I'm giving a signal that it's a time to get your Blackberry out
9
I've just signaled that this talk is Opportunity to reconnect with Blackberry make sure the office is okay
10
maybe get some plans together for the weekend.
11
Another way to start.
12
The lights, the mic's working.
13
How much time have I got?
14
Okay, right.
15
Okay, is it plugged in?
16
And you laugh, but I guarantee tomorrow there's going to be some moments They get a little bit of that And why
17
because this is for some of you the first time you
18
see this individual they're here as a leader in their industry and
19
Your kid at school presenting on giraffes does a better job That's sad
20
So I think there's only three ways of starting a speech.
21
And it's the same if you went into a bar and there's a group of people, it's a networking event, much like you were at before you walked into this room.
22
And maybe I came up to a group, there's a group of three people who are having a little conversation.
23
I walk in and I say, Hi, I'm Connor.
24
I'm Irish, 38 years old.
25
I have an interest in sailing.
26
I like running. And they've walked away.
27
How do you get people to engage with you when you're networking?
28
I say, in networking, the best thing you can do is walk up.
29
I think we know someone in common.
30
Try and walk away when someone comes up and says that to you.
31
Hopefully you've done your research so you do know that you know someone in common.
32
But with LinkedIn, you can find out who knows who on anyone you want.
33
How to start a speech?
34
First way, with a question that matters to the audience.
35
how do you phrase a problem that the audience faces in a question
36
so that'd be the third best way of starting a speech
37
the second best way of starting a speech with a factoid that shocks there's more people alive today than have ever died.
38
There's more people alive today than have ever died.
39
There's a lot of speeches that can follow on from there.
40
Every two minutes, the energy reaching the Earth from the Sun is equivalent to the whole annual usage of humanity.
41
All the energy, all the cars, everything moving, all the lighting, all the air conditioning of the world,
42
in one year is equivalent to two minutes of sun.
43
Does that change how you think about energy?
44
So, what's a fact that shocks the audience into rethinking?
45
And Google has transformed your ability to get at these facts
46
given two or three minutes you can find out one whether anything I said is true
47
but you trust me because I looked the part and I'm from ESing those are in fact two true facts
48
I usually get someone come up to me and, are you sure?
49
How do they measure dead and alive? But it's true.
50
And it's not even close.
51
But the best way to start a speech, and the way that I hope all of you use from now forward,
52
is the same way we start a story to a child.
53
Now, how do we start a story to a child?
54
Erase una vez.
55
Once upon a time.
56
And what happens when you say once upon a time?
57
I can tell you what happens when I say once upon a time,
58
my daughter leans forward, gets ready to hear, engages.
59
And we were all trained as kids to know when a story is coming.
60
We also know when a teacher is about to deliver a 40-minute boring lecture that has no impact on our lives.
61
But in business, you don't hear Jack Welsh saying, once upon a time.
62
Steve Jobs doesn't start his speeches, once upon a time.
63
So there's a grown-up way of saying once upon a time.
64
If you listen to the conversations that are interesting around you, at a dinner table, in a networking event, if you listen to the people that are gathering the group of eight that are listening to them,
65
the way they're talking is different.
66
The way they start is different.
67
The way you tell stories as an adult is, in October, was the last time I was in this room, there were 120 people in the room,
68
and I was having a little conversation with one of the world experts on public speaking And he said something to me.
69
He said something to me That's had me thinking ever since
70
He said something to me that changed What I think about what's important in speaking
71
Now I can pause for about 30 seconds two or three minutes and you want to know what he said
72
so in speaking in sales we assume self-interest
73
so if you can tell a story from your own life
74
that connects you to why this topic is important to you why you first joined the company
75
when you first saw someone benefit and you saw how their life was changed
76
And I think here exploring what quality of life means for you In your business,
77
how do you affect quality of life for a customer?
78
Because that's where the stories that will start to connect you to the audience will come from
79
Because stories are about people They are not about objects, they are not about things.
80
It's about the people behind the things.
81
If you want to tell a good story about Tango, don't talk about the software.
82
Talk about the people who built the software.
83
What they do, how they are, what's important to them, what they sacrifice.
84
And in your own life, what does quality of life mean?
85
What sacrifices have you made to achieve something that was more important?
86
And if you can tell stories and the audience connect with those stories, then they want to hear what you have to say.
87
And all the reasons and all the benefits, they're all written in the document and in the PowerPoint.
88
But they need to trust you.
89
And they need to care about you as a person to engage with you and then decide that they will act.

本节课学习内容
本节课将围绕“如何开启一场演讲”展开，学习者可通过视频内容掌握实用的演讲开头技巧，同时结合影子跟读练习提升口语表达的流畅度与感染力。课程不仅适用于日常演讲准备，也对雅思口语练习等场景有直接帮助，帮助学习者在不同场合下自信开口。
核心词汇与短语
- factoid：有趣的小事实（用于引起听众注意）
- engage with：与……互动（建立听众连接的关键）
- self-interest：自身利益（演讲中需关注听众需求）
- quality of life：生活质量（故事叙述的情感切入点）
- networking event：社交活动（演讲与日常沟通的共通场景）
练习技巧
影子跟读是提升口语的高效方法，针对本视频的语速和语调，可采用以下策略：首先，选择视频中演讲开头的示例片段（如故事式开头），逐句进行英语影子跟读，注意模仿 speaker 的停顿和重音，例如在“Once upon a time”后适当放缓语速，增强故事感。其次，关注演讲者的语气变化，如提出问题时的升调的使用，这有助于提升口语表达的感染力，对提高英语发音的准确性也至关重要。最后，可将练习场景扩展到日常对话，尝试用视频中的技巧开启话题，例如在社交场合用“我们可能有共同认识的人”替代直白的自我介绍，强化实际应用能力。建议使用专业的shadowing site进行反复练习，逐步缩短跟读延迟，实现与原音的同步输出，从而真正掌握演讲开头的艺术。
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。
