What is an impromptu speech?

Improvised speeches account for a very large proportion of speeches, accounting for more than 80%. It can be said that it is an impromptu speech, from being invited to speak on the stage of hundreds of people to various interviews at ordinary times, when the boss is asked about his job. The biggest feature of impromptu speech is that there is no preparation, or no time to prepare. At the same time, impromptu speech has higher requirements in agility of thinking, logicality of language and eloquence of oral expression. Most people's fear of public speaking mainly comes from their fear of impromptu speaking.

When it comes to impromptu speeches, most people are afraid. Even so, there are ways to train and skills to deal with, so that when you encounter an impromptu speech, even if you haven't thought about it yet, you can follow these methods and skills, say something well, or even think while talking, so as not to have nothing to say and stand there like an idiot. The methods and skills introduced in today's article can help you make almost all impromptu speeches.

The five-point impromptu speech method makes you an old driver of impromptu speech.

First, scattered association method can exercise language organizational ability, association ability and imagination ability;

Second, "problem-cause-solution" can be used to deal with impromptu speeches of problems and phenomena;

Third, the "viewpoint-reason-case-summary" of Guanyin mortgage law can be used to deal with the opinions and suggestions of impromptu speech;

Fourth, "thanks-review-vision" can be used in impromptu speeches at various parties;

Fifth, the golden rule can be used when talking about feelings, sharing or expressing opinions, and can also be used when forgetting the above methods.

First, scatter correlation method

First, introduce a method of practicing impromptu speech. Scatter association method is simply to combine several seemingly unrelated and irrelevant phrases into a paragraph and express a complete meaning through a certain language expression.

Speaking of "Apple", what do you think of? The apples you eat around you, Steve Jobs' Apple Company, Newton who was smashed by apples, are still related to others ... If you think of apples in fruits, it doesn't matter, you can talk about the benefits of eating apples, the role of apples, and so on; If you think of Apple, Jobs and innovation because of Apple, you can associate Apple with Jobs and Apple with innovation. If you think of Newton, you think that Newton discovered the law of gravity because he was hit by an apple, which linked the apple with gravity and opportunity (opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. If someone is hit by an apple, they will be smashed flat and will not find gravity. This is not only the superficial meaning of Apple, but also a more in-depth speech.

Scattered association method is a training method, which can exercise our association ability and imagination ability, and also improve our impromptu speech level.

For example, the following three words: white horse, me, sky.

These three words are irrelevant to each other. How do they form a complete meaning?

You can say this:

The white horse is quietly eating grass, and I sit next to it. I look up at the sky.

Using all three words is also a complete meaning. This is a relatively static picture.

You can also say this:

I was bored walking by the river when I suddenly saw a white horse in front of me, so I ran to get on it. The white horse carried me faster and faster, and finally flew into the sky. I rode around on a white horse, and when I saw something rough, I drew my sword to help. Since then, the white horse hero has appeared on the earth.

In this way, isn't it just to string together a few unrelated words to increase the story?

Scatter association method, words do not have to come in order, nor are they limited by realistic conditions. The more imaginative, the more interesting the story. You can start with three words at first, and then you can increase it to four words, five words or more. The difficulty is gradually increasing, and it may also bring more unexpected and interesting stories.

Give you several groups of words and practice together:

1. Shenzhen cosmic Xiaoming Palace Museum

2. Changjiang Tree Tiger Table Lamp

3. Cars, ants, slippers and computers

4. Red scarf broom Spider-Man alarm clock

5. "Kung Fu Panda" sea millet vase

6. Aircraft Bowl Pacific trash can

Scattered association method can be practiced with family and friends. If you have children, you can practice with them, which can not only exercise their impromptu speech ability, but also promote their relationship. You can also practice with friends, don't let your thinking be restricted, and you can think freely. The richer the story, the more flesh and blood the better. Through a period of practice, the ability of association and imagination will be improved, and the level of impromptu speech will also be improved.

Two. Problem-Cause-Solution

Impromptu speech skills for problems and phenomena.

A couple agreed that the wife would cook and the husband would wash the dishes. One day my husband didn't wash the dishes, so this scene appeared:

Wife: Why don't you wash the dishes again?

Husband: Didn't you forget to wash the dishes just now? As for so loud?

Wife: Well, you did it wrong for a reason. ....

And then the family goes, bang, bang, bang. .....

The same thing, in another couple there is like this:

Wife: Honey, why don't you wash the dishes again?

Husband: Sorry, honey, I forgot to wash the dishes. Because I'm too busy recently, I always think about work. I want to go to work after dinner, and I forget about washing dishes. I'm going to wash the dishes now. Next time, you should remind me after dinner, so that I won't forget to wash the dishes. Meanwhile, I suggest that we buy a dishwasher. It can be washed cleaner than me, I won't forget to wash the dishes, and I can save some time. Honey, what do you say?

The wife listened to her husband's sincere attitude and reasonable suggestion and said, this suggestion is good. Let's buy a dishwasher. I'll pay for it.

Which of the above two scenes do you prefer?

Here we introduce a magical formula of impromptu speech: problem-cause-solution.

Question: Explain the question first.

Cause: What is the cause of the problem?

Solution: What measures can we take to solve this problem?

When you are asked questions and phenomena, you can use this impromptu speech formula. This formula is widely used in business and workplace.

For example, when you take the elevator, you meet your boss, and the boss asks you why the sales in March fell. Although the time in the elevator is short, you can easily deal with your boss by learning this formula. Let's practice:

Boss: Why did sales drop in March?

You: Boss, sales did drop a little in March (state the problem). We also analyzed the reasons, including the following points: First, during the Spring Festival in February, people bought a lot of things in February and less things in March; Second, the turnover rate of sales staff is relatively high recently, and their enthusiasm is not high enough; Third, our competitors' new products went on the market in March, which stole some of our customers (analyze the reasons). We have also made corresponding countermeasures: first, cooperate with HR department to recruit and train good sales staff, give them more incentives and mobilize their enthusiasm; Second, cooperate with R&D department to bring our latest products to market as soon as possible; Third, study competitors more deeply and formulate more attractive price strategies (schemes).

Boss: Now that you have thought of these plans, work hard and hope that the performance in April will go up.

In this case, the boss saw that you not only knew the existence of the problem, but also introspected and analyzed the reasons and made corresponding solutions. I won't embarrass you, and I may even value you more in the future.

In practical work, various problems are inevitable. The point is that you can't leave the problem to your boss or superiors. If you want to analyze the reasons, you'd better give a solution. You can't wait for the boss to give you a solution. The boss is a person who likes to do multiple-choice questions instead of asking questions. He can give his boss several different plans and let him make the final decision. If you encounter problems in the workplace, use this method flexibly, and you will not be far from promotion and salary increase.

There are also many occasions in life that can be applied. Just at the beginning of the story, the husband of the second couple used this method and solved the contradiction at the same time. Let's analyze it.

Question: "Wife, I'm sorry I forgot to wash the dishes." I also forgot to wash the dishes.

Reason: "Because I'm too busy recently, I always think about work. I want to go to work after dinner and forget to wash the dishes."

Solution: There are actually three:

The first one, "I'm going to wash the dishes now." ;

The second one, "Next time, remind me after dinner, so that I won't forget to wash the dishes." ;

The third one, "In the meantime, I suggest that we buy a dishwasher." It can be washed cleaner than me, I won't forget to wash the dishes, and I can save some time. "

Many times, using this method in family life can avoid many family conflicts and make life more harmonious.

This method can also be used well when asked about social problems or social phenomena. Please look at the following example:

The obesity rate of adolescents in China is getting higher and higher, from 190 to 20 15 years 10%. what do you think?

I can say this:

It is a fact that the obesity rate of teenagers is getting higher and higher now. (Reason) I think there are several reasons for the increase in the obesity rate of teenagers: First, the living standard has improved and more food has been eaten, especially all kinds of junk food with high calorie; Second, teenagers' time is occupied by various schoolwork and remedial classes, and they have little time for sports. (Solution) In order to solve the problem of adolescent obesity, I suggest: first, advocate eating more coarse grains and less junk food, and just eat seven points full when eating;

Second, reduce teenagers' schoolwork and give them more exercise time. (Call for Action) Finally, I call on our society, schools and families to act together to make children eat less junk food as much as possible and have more exercise time every day. In this way, I believe that in the near future, the obesity rate of teenagers in China will be controlled or even reduced.

Careful friends may have found the above example and finally have a call to action. Yes, the structure of "problem-cause-solution" can sometimes be changed into "problem-cause-solution-action" with "action", which is a variant of this magical formula. After learning the above formula, you will know what to say when you are interviewed by reporters in the street and asked about social problems and social phenomena, right?

Let's give you some questions to practice:

1. I'm getting fat again.

2. Why do customers complain so much?

Water pollution is very serious. What do you think?

The traffic jam is getting worse.

In society, workplace and daily life, the magical formula "problem-cause-solution" can help you to have an impromptu speech framework in a short time when facing problems and phenomena.

Would you?

Three. Thanks-Review-Prospect

Impromptu speech skills in various parties.

In our life and work, we often need to attend various gathering occasions, such as: weddings of relatives and friends, friends' birthday parties, classmates' parties XX years after graduation from college, awards parties, company parties, customer appreciation meetings, children's graduation ceremonies, family gatherings, funerals, colleagues' farewell parties and so on. On these occasions, you are sometimes invited to give an impromptu speech on stage. What do you do?

Don't be afraid, relax. Now I'll teach you a universal formula, so that you can have something to say at almost all parties. The formula is: thanks-review-vision.

Thank you: it is often used at the beginning to show some courtesy, such as thanking the host for inviting you to speak and thanking the host for inviting you to the party.

Review: briefly review what happened in the past. It would be better if you had a friendship with the host or other people present.

Vision: expressing wishes, imagination, congratulations, determination, etc.

If we use time to analyze this formula, "thank you" means to thank the people or things at the moment; "Looking back" means the past, recalling what happened in the past; "Vision" means the future, imagination, blessings, wishes, firm actions and so on. Therefore, you can simply understand this formula as: present, past and future.

This formula is very simple, just six words. Here are a few examples to help you better understand the general formula of impromptu speech at this party.

Example 1: A friend's wedding invites you to speak on the stage. You are a good friend of the groom.

Let's practice:

First of all, I would like to thank the wedding host for giving me this opportunity to speak, and especially thank my friends for inviting me to his wedding. (Thank you)

I have known the groom for ten years. He is a persistent person, and I started running under his influence. He is also a very reliable person. I have worked with him on several public welfare projects, and he feels particularly at ease, so I think the bride will feel at ease with him. I also witnessed the beautiful love between the groom and the bride, and I can deeply feel the groom's love for the bride ... (Review)

Finally, I wish the couple a happy wedding, a hundred years of harmony, and early birth of your son, preferably two in three years. I also wish all the friends present happiness. (visual)

At the wedding, you can praise the advantages of the bride and groom. If you are familiar with the bride and groom, you can chat with them about the past and even make fun of jokes.

Example 2: You are suddenly invited to speak at the 30th anniversary party of university graduation.

Let's rehearse this scene:

First of all, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity to speak. Special thanks to monitor Lao Yang and several other old classmates for taking the lead in organizing this activity. (Thank you)

Although 30 years have passed and everyone has reached the age of knowing destiny, it seems like yesterday to walk on campus and go to college with everyone. Think of our military training, marching together, carrying guns together, shooting together; I remembered the Mid-Autumn Festival we celebrated together. Think of the basketball court, the boys in our class won the championship; I remember that at the school sports meeting, there was a whirlwind of winning the championship in our class. Especially on one occasion, I was particularly impressed that we went together ... (In retrospect, give more examples of our past experiences in college, the more unforgettable the better)

Finally, I wish the teachers good health, long life and happiness. I hope the students are healthy, so that we can have more opportunities to get together. 60 years old, 70 years old, or even 80 years old, even if you can't walk, you should continue to get together in a wheelchair! (Best wishes)

Four examples are given above. Have you learned this formula? Now, let's practice together:

1. Invite you to speak at the birthday party of an old friend;

2. You won the first prize in the speech contest and the acceptance speech;

3. You became a department director or president, your inaugural speech;

Your colleague is leaving the company. Let's have a farewell party for ta. Please make an impromptu speech.

5. Attend the parents' meeting of children, and the teacher invites you to speak;

6. You were rated as the advanced representative of the company. When accepting the prize, the host asked you to speak impromptu.

Thank you-looking back-the universal formula of vision can be applied to almost any party occasion. Have you learned it?

4. Listen and press.

Impromptu speech skills in various parties.

Earlier, we introduced the magic formula of impromptu speech to deal with problems or phenomena and the general formula of impromptu speech to deal with any gathering occasion. A friend asked, what should I do if I encounter opinions?

Here, I'd like to introduce the general formula for dealing with the opinion-based impromptu speech: first explain the opinion, then analyze the reasons, and it's best to cite specific cases, and finally emphasize the conclusion.

Brief summary: viewpoint-reason-case-conclusion.

I named this method Guanyin mortgage method. You can imagine Guanyin mortgage to buy a house.

Views and opinions;

Sound is the homonym of cause, indicating the cause;

Press is the homonym of the case, indicating the case;

A knot is a homonym of a knot, indicating the end.

Example 1: It is very important to learn to speak.

Let's practice:

I think it is very important to learn to speak. (view)

Speech can make a person more confident. Speech can make logic clearer and expression clearer. Speech can also make people communicate more effectively and promote faster promotion and salary increase in the workplace. (sound)

Look at that boy, Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi. He used to blush when he spoke, and he often stuttered. Now he doesn't blush when he learns the speech, and he is very fluent. He even took part in a speech contest and won a prize, and in the past two years, he got a salary increase twice a year at work, one more than others. (Reporter)

Therefore, I think it is very important to learn to speak. (uncover)

If you change the topic above to "honey, I'm going to learn to speak."

You can also make a slight change in the above method: "Honey, I'm going to learn to speak. This speech is very important because ... ". Similarly, "honey, I'm running",

If you use the Guanyin mortgage method, I believe your husband will support you to run, and may even run with you.

Children want their parents to buy something or do something for them. If this method is adopted, it will be easier to get the support of parents.

Example 2:

Boss, I suggest we adopt xxxxx method. (view)

The reasons for my suggestion are: first, xxxx；; Second, xxxx；; The third point, xxxx. (sound)

The famous L company used this method before, but later their efficiency increased by 30% and their sales increased by 20%. Also, H Company used this method two years ago, and its sales increased. (Reporter)

So, boss, I suggest that xxxxx can be used. (uncover)

Give advice to the boss in the future, you can try this method.

Speaking of which, let's practice:

1. It is very important to be able to play;

2. Eating apples is good;

3. Husband, I'm going to run;

4. Teacher, you can't assign homework during the summer vacation;

Dogs are good friends of human beings.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) golden rule

The previous articles are all about how to make impromptu speeches better. We know:

To deal with problems and phenomena in impromptu speech, we can use "problem-cause-solution";

For impromptu speeches on opinions and suggestions, Guanyin mortgage method can be used to "view-reason-case-summary";

For impromptu speeches on various gathering occasions, you can use "thank you-review-vision";

What should I do if I don't encounter the above situation, or if I encounter the above situation, but I can't use the above methods?

Don't be afraid. Finally, I will teach you the ultimate trick of impromptu speech: the golden rule.

The golden rule is a relatively simple language organization method, which can make your thinking clearer when explaining the situation or showing your attitude. It uses numerals or ordinal numbers to distinguish the content of a speech, that is, it uses numerals such as "1, 2,3" or ordinal numbers such as "first, second, third" and "first, second and then" to express the central meaning of the speech, which makes the audience feel clear and concise. Then why is it 3: 00 instead of 4: 56? Say too much, others can't remember; Talking less makes you look poor.

What if you really can't say three o'clock? That's not important. Combining the first point with the second point can become the third point, which often has unexpected effects (laughs). For example, someone asks you how to learn a good speech. You can say: First, keep practicing. Second, you are shameless. As long as you have the opportunity to speak on stage, don't miss it. You have to speak in front of the audience, whether he speaks well or not. The third point ... I can't think of it, so combine the first two points, study the third point of the speech well, and stick to shameless.

If you observe carefully, you will find that the officialdom in China likes and is best at using the "golden rule", the most famous of which is the "Theory of Three Represents Theory". At a meeting, leaders are invited to speak, and the leaders usually say, "Next, I will mainly talk about three points …", "I will add three more points …" and "I have three expectations for you …"

When was the "golden rule" used more? In work, life and social life, you can often use it when you talk about feelings, share or express opinions.

Example 1: For example, you attend lectures, courses, activities, etc. You will probably be asked, "How do you feel about this activity?" I guess you will answer "very good, very good". If you answer like this, that's right, because most people answer like this, and of course your answer will be forgotten as soon as most people do. Let's practice by joining the CUHK International Speech Club. The host asked you, "How do you feel after attending the meeting of CUHK International Speaking Club?"

The first answer is "very good, very good", and then there is no more.

The second application answer of "golden rule";

I think the meeting of CUHK International Toastmasters Club is very good. After attending, I gained three points: First, I became confident, and now I am not afraid to look at anyone in the audience and ogle that handsome guy just now; Secondly, my speech is more skillful, not only the content is more logical, but also the stage presentation is more colorful, and I learned how to use gestures, eyes, expressions, stage movements and sounds. Thirdly, I have made a group of like-minded and positive friends.

Who is more impressed by the above two answers? Share it with the golden rule, and others will think your speech is very logical.

Ex. 2: If you go to various activities, you will probably be asked to introduce yourself. At this time, you can also use the "Golden Trinity Theory" to introduce yourself.

Most people's first introduction may be like this: "Hello, I'm xx. I like running, fitness and speaking. Nice to meet you. " This kind of introduction is ok, but it is not easy to remember.

Introduce yourself with the golden rule: Hello, I'm xx. I have three labels: the first label is "running",

I like running since I was a child, and I have been able to run for more than 20 years now. I started running marathons in 2007 and have been running marathons for nearly ten years now. The second label is "Fitness". I like fitness very much. I have been doing it for almost 20 years. I had six abdominal muscles in primary school, and now I still insist on fitness. The third label is "speech". I like speaking very much. Now I not only like giving speeches, but also help others make better speeches. I'm glad to meet you here, and hope to be good friends with you.

Which of two self-introductions is easier to remember? Introduce yourself with three labels, three hobbies or three characteristics, so that others can remember you more easily.

Example 3: Asked by reporters in the street, what do you think of this phenomenon? At this time, the "golden trinity" is also very useful.

For example, a CNN reporter asked you in Chinese, "What do you think of online celebrities like papi sauce?"

Don't think much, just use the "golden rule" to say:

I have three views on this:

First of all, I like papi sauce very much, especially when she talks about various social phenomena. It can be funny.

Secondly, the emergence of network celebrities shows that the power and influence of the Internet are getting stronger and stronger.

Finally, the appearance of network celebrities gives individuals more opportunities to show themselves, and of course it is also an opportunity to become famous. In the past, only a few people with resources or connections could be famous, but now ordinary people can also have the opportunity to be famous through the internet, which is very good.

The "golden rule" is also very useful in various gathering occasions. Earlier, we introduced the general formula "thanks-review-vision" for party occasions. If you can't remember it at the moment, you can use the "Golden Trinity Theory". For example, if you go to a friend's wedding and are invited by the host to give a speech:

Here, I send three blessings: the first blessing, I wish the bride and groom a happy wedding, a hundred years of harmony, can help each other, hold hands with their children, and grow old together; The second blessing, I wish the bride and groom an early birth. Now that the policy has been liberalized, a pair of good children will be born soon. The third blessing, bless all the friends present, can be happy!

Just now, the use of three "blessings" is also a kind of exercise, which is more powerful than simply saying "three points". The commonly used three-point refining methods are "Three Necessities", "Three Persistences", "Three Preparations", "Three Implementations" and "Theory of Three Represents".

More skillful than the three-point extraction method is the image extraction method, which uses metaphor to illustrate your point of view. Take the above example as an example to practice. The host asked you, "What did you feel after attending the meeting of CUHK International Speech Club?"

You can say: "After attending the meeting of the International Toastmasters Club, I met Jacky Cheung: Zhang, I dare to speak with my mouth open and learn a lot of speaking skills;" Friends, I met a group of good friends who are aggressive. "

The "Jacky Cheung" here is a method of image refining, which also means three points, but this method will make people more impressed.

The golden rule, commonly used routines are:

1. I have three gains;

2. I want to make three comments;

3. I will tell you three stories;

4. I will talk about my experience from three aspects;

5. Our task is to walk in three steps;

6. At present, we have three problems to be solved urgently;

7. I want to elaborate from three aspects;

8. I want to give you three suggestions

Summary of intransitive verbs

Finally, to sum up:

First, scattered association method can exercise language organizational ability, association ability and imagination ability;

Second, "problem-cause-solution" can be used to deal with impromptu speeches of problems and phenomena;

Third, the "viewpoint-reason-case-summary" of Guanyin mortgage law can be used to deal with the opinions and suggestions of impromptu speech;

Fourth, "thanks-review-vision" can be used in impromptu speeches at various parties;

Fifth, the golden rule can be used when talking about feelings, sharing or expressing opinions, and can also be used when forgetting the above methods.

What, you're not afraid of impromptu speeches anymore?

If you encounter an impromptu speech and the above methods and techniques can't help you, please call me. It'll work out.
