2.公共演讲

Get attention and interest
Relate your topic to the audience Excellent:
You're being chased by an object of unspeakable horror, yet your legs can only move in slow motion. Each step takes unbearably long, and your frantic struggle to run faster is hopeless. Your pursuer gets closer, and your desperation turns to terror. You're completely helpless--eye to eye with death. Then you wake up, gasping for air, your heart pounding, your face clammy with sweat. It takes a few minutes for your heart and breathing to slow down. You reassure yourself that it was "just a dream." Soon you drift back to sleep.

Question the audience
Asking a rhetorical question is another way to get your listeners thinking about your speech. Example: Suppose a speaker is giving a speech about Taiwan. He could begin in this way, by using a series of rhetorical questions: Can anyone deny that Taiwan is a part of China? Are not most of the people living on Taiwan Chinese? Is not Chinese the language of Taiwan? Is not the policy of the united Nations a one-China policy? Then, ladies and gentlemen, I suggest to you that it is only a matter of time before Taiwan completely unified with China, just as we saw happen with Hong Kong and Macao.
What is Public speaking?

Public speaking is an audience centered communicative activity in which a speaker speaks to a group of people in a structured manner with the intention to inform, persuade or entertain the audience.
Get attention and interest
Relate your topic to the audience Improved: It’s Saturday morning, and you are helping clean out your grandmother’s house. After working a while, you stumble upon a trunk, open it, and discover inside hundreds of old postcards. Thinking about getting to the football game on time, you start tossing the cards into the trash can. Congratulations! You have just thrown away a year’s tuition.
Arouse the curiosity of the audience
People are curious. One way to draw them into your speech is with a series of statements that progressively whet their curiosity about the subject of the speech. Example: Each of you has a gift. What kind of gift is it? It’s not a Christmas gift or a birthday gift. It’s not some special talent or skill. It’s a gift that could save a life—maybe more than one. If you decide to give it, you lose nothing. Some people bury their gift. Others burn it. All but one of you who completed my questionnaire would gladly receive the gift, but only 20 percent of you have decided to give it. This gift is the donation of your vital organs when you die.
Startle your audience
Example: Take a moment and think of the three women closest to you. Who come to your mind? Your mother? Your sister? Your girlfriend? You wife? Your best friend? Now guess which one will be sexually assaulted during her lifetime. It’s not a pleasant thought, but according to the US Department of Justice, one of three American women will be sexually assaulted sometime during her life.
State the importance of your topic
Presumably, you think your speech is important. Tell your audience why they should think so too. Example: Of the many threats to our public health, youth violence is the one that threatens not only each of us individuals, but also the very fabric of our nation. I’d like you to imagine some 300 students from our college among us now. Three hundred students would fill about more than two times of this room. That’s how many students will be attacked or robbed in our country during the 10 minutes I’ll be speaking to you.

Startle your audience
One sure way to arouse interest quickly is to startle your listeners with an arresting or intriguing statement. This technique is highly effective and easy to use. Just be sure the startling introduction relates directly to the subject of your speech. If you choose a strong opening simply for its shock value and then go on to talk about sth else, your audience will be confused and quite possibly annoyed.
