Speeches 演讲

Speeches

Every term we study a different aspect of English Literature. This term we are learning the rhetoric. For those who don’t know, rhetoric is the study of persuasive speech and speaking. This article will be about my thoughts on public speaking.

Firstly, the fear of speaking. For many people, public speaking is their biggest fear. According to a study by Cambridge University, public speaking was the second most popular phobia of everyone who participated. Such a simple task is feared second to spiders? Why is public speaking feared so much? I believe it’s because people are afraid of being judged by the audience of their looks, beliefs, sound and many other things. The rejection of the audience to him or her or their speech. Last year I went to a Tony Robbins seminar and learnt about the fears of a human. One of them was rejection. We learnt that the fear of being rejected was the key to failure and why people can’t reach their full potential. The reason I’ve found why being rejected was so frightening was because you didn’t want to lose your dignity or hurt your reputation or be embarrassed. But as I’ve grown up, the fear of rejection and the realisation of losing dignity or hurting my reputation or being embarrassed was wiped away from my windscreen and let me see through to the true path ahead. I’ve learnt, as a 14 year old in high school, that being rejected is not a big problem. Every day, thousands of people are rejected from universities, jobs and relationships. It’s a normal event to be rejected, but one must learn how to turn rejection into a counterattack and strike again, never giving up to realise your goals. So if a 14 year old can accept that rejection is okay and that other people’s opinion doesn’t really matter, anyone can (even my little brother can!).

With the fear of speaking out of the way and a clear windscreen, we can discuss about the ways I believe you can persuade someone. Firstly, (I believe) and most importantly is the persuasion using emotion. If you are trying to get a bargain at a store or persuade your teacher to follow your suggestion, then using emotional skills is the best way. Emotion doesn’t have authority or levels, it can change form though, anger, happiness, sadness, naming a few. Thus, trying to persuade someone by using emotion is effective because you are always starting on the same level and using your words, can manipulate their emotions to get an advantage on them. Once you can influence the outcome of the conversation or argument using emotion, you can easily lead it to the conclusion you want. Emotional feelings doesn’t wait or care about anyone, it will take over you immediately and control what you do, metaphorically speaking. So I believe in any situation, emotional persuasion is the best and most effective way and the way I use the most.

The other way I also believe in is authority or power over people. If you can build a situation, using your words, where you are superior and you are in control or even something beyond both of you, then you are able to indefinitely persuade them through power and your or others authority. This way is extremely effective if you can build the authority between you and your audience as it can leave them speechless with no way to counter your sentence or be forced to agree with what you’re saying. Through experience, this method has worked.

Those two are the main ways I believe you can persuade someone. Firstly, you must cure your fear of speaking, then will you have the clarity to pursue the path of persuasion and speech. Speaking is an enjoyable activity, it releases stress and allows for you to get things off your mind. I encourage people to speak more and let their voices be heard, because my voice is certainly cracked!

每学期我们都会研究英国文学的不同方面。这个词我们正在学习修辞。对于那些不知道的人来说，修辞是对说服性言语和口语的研究。这篇文章将讲述我对公开演讲的看法。

首先，害怕说话。对很多人来说，公开演讲是他们最大的恐惧。根据剑桥大学的一项研究，公开演讲是所有参与者中第二大最受欢迎的恐惧症。这样一个简单的任务恐怕是蜘蛛的第二个？为什么公开演讲会如此恐惧？我相信这是因为人们害怕被观众评判他们的外表，信仰，声音和许多其他事物。观众对他或她的演讲的拒绝。去年我参加了托尼罗宾斯研讨会，了解了人类的恐惧。其中一个是拒绝。我们了解到，被拒绝的恐惧是失败的关键，也是人们无法充分发挥潜力的关键。我之所以发现被拒绝的原因是如此可怕，是因为你不想失去尊严或损害你的声誉或者感到尴尬。但是，随着我的成长，对拒绝和害怕失去尊严或损害我的声誉或尴尬的恐惧已经从我的挡风玻璃上消失，让我看透前方的真正道路。我已经了解到，作为一名14岁的高中生，被拒绝不是一个大问题。每天都有成千上万的人被大学，工作和人际关系所拒绝。这是一个被拒绝的正常事件，但是必须学会如何将拒绝转变为反击并再次罢工，永不放弃实现自己的目标。因此，如果一个14岁的孩子可以接受拒绝是可以的，其他人的意见并不重要，任何人都可以（甚至我的小弟弟都可以！）

由于害怕说话和清晰的挡风玻璃，我们可以讨论我认为你可以说服别人的方式。首先，（我相信），最重要的是使用情感的说服力。如果您想在商店里讨价还价或说服您的老师遵循您的建议，那么使用情感技巧是最好的方法。情感没有权威或层次，它可以改变形式，愤怒，快乐，悲伤，命名一些。因此，试图通过使用情感说服某人是有效的，因为你总是在同一水平上开始并使用你的话语，可以操纵他们的情绪来获得他们的优势。一旦你能够使用情感影响对话或论证的结果，你就可以轻松地得出你想要的结论。情感感受不会等待或关心任何人，它会立即接管你并控制你所做的事，比喻说。所以我相信在任何情况下，情感说服都是最好，最有效的方式，也是我最常用的方式。

我也相信的另一种方式是对人的权威或权力。如果你能够建立一种情境，使用你的言语，你处于优势地位并且你掌控着甚至超越你们两者的东西，那么你就能够通过权力和你或他人的权威无限期地说服他们。如果你可以在你和你的听众之间建立权威，这种方式非常有效，因为它可以让他们无言以对，无法对抗你的判决或被迫同意你所说的话。通过经验，这种方法已经奏效。

这两个是我认为你可以说服别人的主要方式。首先，你必须治愈你对说话的恐惧，然后你才能清楚地追求说服和言语的道路。说话是一种愉快的活动，它释放压力，让你忘记一些事情。我鼓励人们多说话，让他们发出自己的声音，因为我的声音肯定会破裂
