Now I’d like you to see an interesting topic…II. Introducing the Subject and the outline of the Presentation引入话题Background InformationI would like to start by briefly reviewing the history of open heart surgery.Let us start with the theoretical basis of this new technique.To begin with, we have to consider the principle.I think it would be best to start out by looking at a few slides.I should like to preface my remarks with a description of the basic idea.May I begin with a general outline of this project?The first thing I would like to talk about is the definition of the terms I shall use in my lecture.The first point I'd like to make is the historical background of the invention.First, I shall explain to you why this new program is correct and feasible.TopicI would like to concentrate on theproblem Of antibiotic abuse in hospitals.I shall devote my talk to the surgical treatment of coronary disease.I want to confine my talk to the latest developments in civil engineering.Today, I am going to give a talk on the application of computers in medicine.My topic today will deal with the observation of supernova.In today's talk, I' 11 restrict myself to the etiology of 15-epa~i;s.In my presentation this morning, I' 11 limit myself to three major points only.I take the liberty of restricting my discussion mainly to highway bridge construction.Now, I would like to address myself to the most important aspect of this problem.Among the many languages, I shall mention only BASIC.What I am going to present today is the methodology and the data analysis.I'm not going to say much about that except to discuss the literature on that topic.OutliningMy talk today consists of two parts.

I welcome this opportunity to be here today, with an Organization which in many ways belongs to all of us workers. I can think of, in fact, no other international body that one can claim as one's own so unambiguously.I have also had a longstanding formal association with the ILO. Many of my early pieces on women and technological change and on land rights were published by the ILO, as well as was the work of many other scholars. It is therefore a pleasure for me to be here on this important Symposium.The canvas of the Symposium is very large. I will focus on two aspects of gender inequality that centrally effect millions of women as workers but perhaps have failed to receive the attention they deserve. First, the gender gap in command over property and Productive assets and, second, gender biased social perceptions and social norms.Sample 2I learned last May that you have to be careful in speaking to a group of professional communicators. After I conducted a writer' s workshop at the Toronto Conference of the International Association of Business Communicators, Janine Lichaczwrote asked me to speak here tonight and used the communication techniques I had recommended. She even included a footnote citing my lecture. I am susceptible to good communication and to flattery so I am pleased to be with you to discuss your topic for the evening, the use of language in the art of speech writing.I suppose we must begin by shaking our heads, woefully, over the sad state of language today, whether in formal speeches, casual conversation, or in writing. Most of us in this room no doubt agree with the generally negative tone of Time Magazine's year-end assessment which claims “our language has been besieged by vulgarities”. But to preserve our sanity as professionals in communication of us would probably join Time in optimistically expecting English somehow to survive and even to prosper.Expressions on Other OccasionsCorrecting the Title of the PresentationFirst of all, I would like to mention that the title of my presentation should be ...Please allow me to correct a mistake in the title of my speech which appeared in the program. Instead of... it should read...Reading.

Shifting to the Next Main PointWell, let's move on to the next point.We will now come to the second problem.Turning to the next question, I' 11 talk about the stages of the procedure.As the second topic, I shall stop here. Now let' s turn our attention to the third topic.So much for the methodology of our experiment. I would now like to shift to the discussion of the results.Now, let's move away from the first part and switch over to the next part of my presentation.That's all for the introduction and now we can go on to the literature review.Next, I would like to turn to a more difficult problem.The next point I'd like to talk about is the feasibility of this project.That brings me to my second point.I am glad that we can now leave this rather boring subject of mathematic deduction and go into a more attractive one, that is the application of the formula.III. Resuming the TopicLet' s come back to what I said in the first part of my speech.Getting back to the subject of the problem of theoretical considerations we can find that...I want to return to the first part of my presentation.Now, to get back to the effect of temperature, you may be aware that the problems have been solved.This brings me back to the question of security.At this point I would like to refer again to the question of methods in the first part of my lecture.Referring again to the first question, I think...Referring to the Coming PointI'll deal with it later.I' 11 touch upon that point in a moment.I shall tell you in detail shortly.IV. Introducing the Supporting MaterialsI think this part is the most difficult, so I'll explain it in greater detail.I think this part of my paper is most important, so I plan to spend more time on it.Please allow me to deal with this matter more extensively.Being the most important part of my presentation, I will elaborate on it with more slides.I' 11 expand this topic with drawings and figures.Indicating the Points BrieflyLimited by the time available, I can only give you a very brief account of this matter.I don't think that I should describe the methods in detail, because they are included in the handout.I will not go into detail on it.This point has been talked about repeatedly in this symposium, so I am not going to spend too much time on it.Let's go through the following points very rapidly.I just want to outline for you what I experienced in using this new drug.I shall not go over all these explanations. My time is running short. So I'’11 be brief.It is sufficient to say that these experiments were poorly designed and without controls.V.

Samples[ Sample 1 ]We have proposed a framework of a hierarchical planning system for robots. First of all, the system is an automatic plan system that can guide the robot intelligently in terms of the environment. Secondly, it is based on hierarchical planning. The planning problem has been hierarchically decomposed into two sub-problems: global destination selection and local motion planning. And finally, the simulation and application has proved it as an effective design.(Show the last visual)That's all for my presentation. For any question to be raised, I'm quite willing to discuss them with you at any time. Thank you, every one.[ Sample 2 ] 'Finally, we can draw the conclusion: edge detection and denoising are two important branches of image processing. If we combine edge detection with denoising, we can overcome the shortcomings of the commonly-used denolsing methods and without blurring the edge notably.Furthermore, there are many denoising and edge detection methods now. Different methods are suitable for different types of images and noise models. We can do further research on how to combine these various denoising and edge detection methods according to the content of the images and nature of noise.That's all for my talk. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask me. I'm quite willing to discuss them with you at any time, Thank you.[ Sample 3 ]That's all t wanted to show you about Machine Vision and one of its applications, AGV.

For example,Dr. Johnson, I was fascinated by your description of your study, but what will happen if...Mr. Li, you did splendid work! Just one question.Asking the Specific QuestionYou mentioned very briefly that you used two experiments that were the same.Would you please elaborate on that point?Would you be so kind as to give me more information about the method of your experiment?Would you tell me the reason why you set such a high temperature?Comprehensive SamplesDr. Wang, I'd like to raise one question. First, may I say how much I enjoyed talk. But, may I ask, do you have experience with the new method?Congratulations, Dr. Li. I can't help but admire your achievement. But I want to know what's your attitude toward abuse of antibiotics?I'd like to congratulate Mr. Liu on a very interesting presentation.May I ask you a question? How does subjective evaluation differ from objective evaluation?First, I'd like to say your research is very interesting. May I ask two questions? Do you see any relation between cigarette smoking and peptic ulcers? And what advantage do you expect by using this approach?III. Response to QuestionsAsking for RepetitionPardon, I couldn't hear what you said.I beg your pardon, I didn't catch what you said.I'm sorry I forgot your first question. Would you be so kind as to say it again?I'm not quite surge what your question is.I didn't quite get the last point of your question.You mean, there may be some mistake in the calculation?Are you referring to the significance of the difference?Are you suggesting that the temperature might have affected the results?If I understand you correctly, you are saying/asking...I didn't quite catch that.Could you go over that again?I'm not sure what you're getting at.Welcoming the QuestionWelcome the question by saying "thank you" or commenting on it saying "That’s a good question" or "That's a challenging question."This is a very good question.Thank you for that question.I'm glad this question has been brought up-I appreciate that question.This is a hard question.This is an interesting question.This is a big question.I'd be delighted to answer your question.I'll try to answer this question very briefly.In answer to your question, I would say that...I can only provide a partial answer to that question.Let me try to answer your questions one by one.My answer to your first question is...May I answer your second cjuestion first?I have only a partial answer to your question.Thank you for that question. This is a challenging question and I'm afraid I can only provide a partial answer to it. Anyway, I'll try my best to answer it.Repeating or Paraphrasing the QuestionQuestioner: Have you tried it on human bodies?Presenter: This gentleman would like to know whether we have tried this on human bodies.Responding to Difficult or Challenging QuestionQuestion: So what happens if the new budget isn't approved?Answer (1): We've spent two months preparing the new budget. It's a good budget and we're confident we'll get approval to put it into practice.Answer (2): There is too much supposition in the question for me to give a sound answer.The following are some other examples of answers to challenging questions:Perhaps in another year or so we can answer that question, because these studies are now in progress.We are now working on this problem and, if you agree, I'll answer your question in a few weeks.The only answer I can give at present is to wait a few more years, at which time something better might ultimately come out of all our efforts.I think it will be possible to answer this question when more experiments are completed.The answer to this question needs further study.I hope I will be able to answer your question later.Responding to Improper QuestionI appreciate your interest in my research, but I just don't want to talk about it now. Let's talk about something else.I'd rather not say.Why do you want to know?Sometimes you can relay the question back to the questioner. For example,Before I answer you that question, let me ask you: where do you think we should have the project?In this way, sometimes you encourage the questioner to answer his or her own question, e.g. "What do you think? Are people prepared to pay an extra $ 2 for faster service?"Responding to the Questions You Do Not KnowIf you don't know the answer to a particular question, simply admit that you don't know. Say something like this:"I'm sorry. I don't happen to know the answer to that question, but I'll be happy to check into it for you."Here are some further examples:I don't think I can answer your question.I wish I could answer your question, but unfortunately I have no good answer.I'm not sure that I can answer your question. What I'm going to say is not quite an answer to your question.Another technique to cope with the situation is to direct the attention to another expert who may know it or you can use the audience. Ask if anyone could help the questioner and hence it won't be necessary for you to admit that you do not know the answer. See examples below.I think that question could be better answered by Dr. Liu than by me.I think perhaps Dr. Chen would be better able to answer this question.Prof. Li would be a better person to answer your question since he has done a lot of work in this field.Fortunately, Prof. 'Ma, who is an authority in this area, is 'here. I think no one is more suitable than him to answer your question.Dr. Sawyer is perhaps in a better position to tell us something about it.Perhaps my colleague Dr. Emery here has some better ideas.I think it would be better if Prof. Wu were to make some comments on this matter.Avoid using the following expressions to embarrass the questioner:"I've already answered that but you obviously weren't listening." Instead say something like "I'm sorry I didn't explain that clearly."Avoid talking to one questioner. Look towards the other, side of the conference hall or room and indicate that there is another question. Suggest that as there are several more questioners,' yon could discuss his or her question in more detail after your talk.Referring Back to the QuestionerHaving finished answering questions, you should check that the questioner is satisfied or further elaboration or explanation is called for. The following expressions might be helpful.Did I answer your question?Did I answer you satisfactorily?Did your question get answered?I don't know whether this answered your question.I don't know if this is a satisfactory answer.I hope this may serve as an answer to Dr. Li.I hope this answers ~0ur question.:,Sometimes when question lime is over and ff time permits, you can restate, your main proposition, including any good comments from the audience and ignoring adverse questions or remarks. Thus, you demonstrate that you are confident mid can cope calmly with controversy.Remember that your last words to the audience will be retained longest and you are expected to behave in a professional manner.Chapter V Talking During the BreakI. Useful encouraging phrases to show your interest and to stimulate the flow of conversationThen what happened? Good. Ah.Really? Right. That's right.Oh? Right, I will. Go on...Oh, hmm. I think it's a good one. For instance.Yes. No. For example.Yes, of course. Sorry, I can't. Such as.Yes, that's right. I'm afraid not. Tell me more.Yes, I do. Well, not really. Then?Yes, he was. Perhaps not difficult. Really?Yes, we were. Erin, I don't know. Is that right?Very nice. I really can't manage it. Is that so?Very good. Not very nice. Are you sure?Very clear. Very bad.

英语演讲技巧英语演讲技巧8篇英语演讲技巧1英语演讲的技巧1. 演讲前的准备1 善用空间的演讲所谓空间就是指进行演说的场所范围、演讲者所在之处以及与听众间的距离等等。
演说者所在之处以位居听众注意力容易汇集的地方最为理想。
例如开会的时候、主席多半位居会议桌的上方、因为该处正是最容易汇集出席者注意力的地方。
反之，如果主席位居会议桌之正中央，则会议的进行情况会变如何呢?恐怕会使出席者注意力散漫了，且有会议冗长不休的感觉?因此，让自己位居听众注意力容易汇集之处，不但能够提升听众对于演讲的关注，甚至具有增强演说者信赖度权威感的效果。
2 演讲应注意的几个问题2.1 演讲时的姿势演说时的姿势(posture)也会带给听众某种印象，例如堂堂正正的印象或者畏畏缩缩的印象。
虽然个人的性格与平日的习惯对此影响颇巨，不过一般而言仍有方便演讲的姿势，即所谓“轻松的姿势”。
要让身体放松，反过来说就是不要过度紧张。
过度的紧张不但会表现出笨拙僵硬的姿势，而且对于舌头的动作也会造成不良的影响。
诀窍之一是张开双脚与肩同宽，挺稳整个身躯。
另一个诀窍是想办法扩散并减轻施加在身体上的紧张情绪。
例如将一只手稍微插入口袋中，或者手触桌边、或者手握麦克风等等。
2.2 演讲时的视线在大众面前说话，亦即表示必须忍受众目睽睽的注视。
当然，并非每位听众都会对你报以善意的眼光。
尽管如此，你还是不可以漠视听众的眼光，避开听众的视线来说话。
尤其当你走到麦克风旁边站立在大众面前的那一瞬间，来自听众的视线有时甚至会让你觉得刺痛。
克服这股视线压力的秘诀，就是一面进行演讲;一面从听众当中找寻对于自己投以善意而温柔眼光的人。
并且无视于那些冷淡的眼光。
此外，把自己的视线投向强烈“点头”以示首肯的人，对巩固信心来进行演说也具有效果。
2.3演讲时的脸部表情演讲时的脸部表情无论好坏都会带给听众极其深刻的印象。
紧张、疲劳、喜悦、焦虑、等情绪无不清楚地表露在脸上，这是很难藉由本人的意志来加以控制的。
