写演讲提纲 Presentation outline
写outline(大纲)的关键是保持简明扼要。一个简单的介绍之后,在主体写main points(要点)。在结尾时,给你的信息做summary(总结),并列出任何next steps(下面的步骤)。
比如你是CEO Jane的私人助理,CEO临时有事,让你代替他向LT(Leadership Team)们做一个汇报,你可以这样列大纲:
Introduction: There have been a number of recent changes in the company. Here's an update.
Main points:
1. Acquisition of Smoot Computers
will complete by end of the year(点评:不需要被动时态)
will open new markets(点评:事实在前,影响在后)
2. Sales:
increasing rapidly, especially Asia(点评:不需要be动词)
opening new office in Seoul, Korea
3. New hires
CFO Mary Rickman
starts next week
Summary: Company's doing well.
Next step: Jane will give a more detailed update when she returns.

开场白Opening a presentation
Opening(开场白)是演讲最重要的部分。首先,对你的听众表示欢迎,谢谢他们的到来。然后,告诉听众“与我何干”,可以陈述一个与你演讲内容有关的有趣的事实或数据,引发听众的思考。其次,提供一张演讲的“地图”,包含你演讲的内容、首先、第二、第三等。最后,告诉听众提问的规则,可以随时提问还是最后集中提问。反复练习,直至完美。
1 Welcome.
2 Grab attention.
3 Offer a map.
4 Questions.
5 Practice.
比如你给LT们汇报公司目前的进展,开场白可以是这样的:
Good morning. Thank you all for coming today.(Welcome)
I know that you're all anxious to know what's going on. I have some news.(Grab attention.)
First, I'm going to give an update on our recent acqusition.
Then I'll give you information about our sales growth in Asia.
Finally, I'll be talking our new CFO, Mary Rickman.(Offer a map)
If you have any questions, feel free to ask them at any time.(Questions)
TIPS:Do your opening again and again until you remember it and it's perfect.

总结Concluding a presentation
做好总结至关重要,这是你的最后一次机会让听众记住演讲的要点,意味着你希望他们通过这次演讲带走些什么。首先,快速、简短的总结要点。然后,传递你的big finish(大收官),如果听众今天只能记住一件事,那么这件事就是big finish,一个好的方法就是next step(下一步计划)或an action item(一个行动项),注意强调关键点时,要放慢语速,表达清晰、坚定。之后,询问大家是否还有问题,最后感谢所有人的到来。
1 Summarize your key points
- Repeat the important ideas.
- Use two or three sentences.
2 Deliver your big finish
- Give one last thing to remember.
- State an action item.
3 Speak effectively
- Stress important ideas.
- Don't just look at your notes.
你可以使用这些表达方式来总结演示:
To summarize, we have a new CFO, sales are rising steadily and our merger with Smoot happens next month.(Summarize)
In conclusion, the company has been doing very well. Jane will give a more detailed update when she returns.(Big finish)
If you think of other questions, just send me an email. Thank you all for coming today.(Handle questions)

Useful expressions
1 对不确定的数量,使用a number of + plural noun + 复数动词(意思:许多)。注意,由于数量不明,所以使用不定冠词(a)。
A number of companies have merged lately.最近许多公司合并了。
2 对于确切的数量,使用 the number of + plural noun + 单数动词(意思:数量)。由于数量已知,故使用定冠词(the)。
The number of people in that company is tremendous.这家公司的员工人数巨大。
3 以下是一些谈论事物数量的其他方法。注意这些表达均后接单数动词。
Each of my colleagues has a different opinion regarding the merger.我的每一位同事对合并的看法都不同。
Every one of the board members was happy with the acquisition.每一位董事会成员都对收购很满意。
One of my colleagues has quit, another is thinking about it.我的一位同事辞职了,还有一位在考虑辞职。
4 你可以使用各种未来形式来预览你的要点。
I'll begin by giving a general update.我开始先谈一下大体的最新消息。
I'm going to finish by talking about new projects.我结束时会谈一下新项目。
带-ing的形式听起来不太确定并且更友好。例如,I'll be discussing听起来比I will discuss更放松。
I'll be discussing our acquisition of Smoot Hawley. 我将讨论我们对斯姆特霍利的收购。
5 要告诉你的听众哪些不会被覆盖在你的演示中,用won't 或者not going to。注意在否定式后,用any而不是some。
