Making the talk to inform

直奔主题，言简意赅，条理清晰

Everything that can be thought at all, can be thought clearly. Everything that can be said, can be said clearly.

First

Restrict your subject to fit the time at your disposal.

Hold fast to your main theme.

这个观点，让我想到美国作家海明威发明的“用六个英语单词写故事”。只能用6个单词写故事，这样就需要把不必要，不重要的部分砍掉。在有限的时间内作演讲，这样能让演讲者的言语更简练，逻辑更清晰。

Second

Arrange your ideas in sequence.

Almost all subjects can be developed by using a logical sequence based on time, space, or special topics.
按照时间，空间，或特定话题顺序展开演讲主题。

Third

Enumerate your points as you make them

One of the simplest ways to keep a talk shipshape in the minds of your listeners is to mention plainly as you go along that you are talking up first one point and then another.

shipshape 井井有条

shipshape

这里罗列一些句型：
My first point is this...
In the first place...
In the second place...
Specifically...
Further...
In addition...
There are three principal reason: First...Second...Third...
In summation...

Fourth

Compare the strange with the familiar

-Turn a fact into a picture
-Avoid technical terms
别整专业词汇，非要用，一定要解释，直到听众都明白后，再用

Think as wise men do, but speak as the common people do.——Aristotle

Fifth

Use visual aids

We give twenty-five times as much attention to eyes suggestions as we do to ear suggestions.
这是个科学事实。
这里提醒我，上课一定要多为学生呈现画面。备课的重要性呀。
