演讲英文开场白 篇1
mr. chairman, senator thurmond, members of the committee, my name is anita f. hill, and i am a professor of law at the university of oklahoma. i was born on a farm in okmulgee county, oklahoma, in 1956. i am the youngest of 13 children. i had my early education in okmulgee county. my father, albert hill, is a farmer in that area. my mother's name is irma hill. she is also a farmer and a housewife.
my childhood was one of a lot of hard work and not much money, but it was one of solid family affection, as represented by my parents. i was reared in a religious atmosphere in the baptist faith, and i have been a member of the antioch baptist church in tulsa, oklahoma, since 1983. it is a very warm part of my life at the present time.
for my undergraduate work, i went to oklahoma state university and graduated from there in 1977. i am attaching to this statement a copy of my resume for further details of my education.
i graduated from the university with academic honors and proceeded to the yale law school, where i received my jd degree in 1980. upon graduation from law school, i became a practicing lawyer with the washington, dc, firm of ward, hardraker, and ross.
in 1981, i was introduced to now judge thomas by a mutual friend. judge thomas told me that he was anticipating a political appointment, and he asked if i would be interested in working with him. he was, in fact, appointed as assistant secretary of education for civil rights. after he had taken that post, he asked if i would become his assistant, and i accepted that position.
in my early period there, i had two major projects. the first was an article i wrote for judge thomas' signature on the education of minority students. the second was the organization of a seminar on high-risk students which was abandoned because judge thomas transferred to the eeoc where he became the chairman of that office.
during this period at the department of education, my working relationship with judge thomas was positive. i had a good deal of responsibility and independence. i thought he respected my work and that he trusted my judgment. after approximately three months of working there, he asked me to go out socially with him.
what happened next and telling the world about it are the two most difficult things -- experiences of my life. it is only after a great deal of agonizing consideration and sleepless number -- a great number of sleepless nights that i am able to talk of these unpleasant matters to anyone but my close friends.
i declined the invitation to go out socially with him and explained to him that i thought it would jeopardize what at the time i considered to be a very good working relationship. i had a normal social life with other men outside of the office. i believed then, as now, that having a social relationship with a person who was supervising my work would be ill-advised. i was very uncomfortable with the idea and told him so.
i thought that by saying no and explaining my reasons my employer would abandon his social suggestions. however, to my regret, in the following few weeks, he continued to ask me out on several occasions. he pressed me to justify my reasons for saying no to him. these incidents took place in his office or mine. they were in the form of private conversations which would not have been overheard by anyone else.
i declined any comment to newspapers, but later when senate staff asked me about these matters i felt i had a duty to report. i have no personal vendetta against clarence thomas. i seek only to provide the committee with information which it may regard as relevant.
it would have been more comfortable to remain silent. i took no initiative to inform anyone. but when i was asked by a representative of this committee to report my experience, i felt that i had to tell the truth. i could not keep silent.

尊敬的各位企业家朋友:
大家下午好!
很高兴有这样一个机会,和大家相聚在美丽的清华园。前几天我看到一文章,文章中说:“企业家是最优秀的群体。”对这句话我深有感触。由于工作的关系,我接触过许多企业家,他们“志存高远”、“执着奋进”、“百折不挠”、“勇担责任”……的确令人十分钦佩。企业家们在奋斗的历程中,在为社会创造物质财富的同时,更留下了一笔最宝贵的财富,所以,在一次演讲中我曾经指出,的企业家,特别是改革开放以来迅速崛起的民营企业家是我们国家一道最靓丽的风景,也是一处最动人的坐标!在这里,请大家接受我最真诚的敬意!
好,“吹捧”的话讲完了,下面该说点“不中听”的话了,这叫先礼后兵。说什么“不中听”的话呢?我认为啊,目前的企业家,论智慧,有!论胆识,有!论魄力,有!论管理,在行!论用人,在行!论竞争,在行!企业家们有着这样那样的优势,但独缺一种理念,这个理念概括起来仅有十三个字,那就是“演讲力是企业家的核心竞争力”,所以,今天我想用一个多小时的时间和大家探讨一下这个问题。
演讲英文开场白 篇3
一、从天气切入主题
去年夏季的一天,从早上天气就非常炎热,温度很高,阳光非常明媚。那天,我给公司新员工做基础培训,我就在考虑如何开场。突然,我想到何不借鉴今天的天气状况做个开场呢?于是,培训开始时:
“各位,大家早上好,欢迎您来到我们x公司。今天的天气呢,阳光明媚,温度非常的炎热,祝愿各位每天心情像今天的阳光一样,永远开心明媚!对待生活、工作、学习像今天的温度一样,永远激情澎湃!”
(我的声音音调逐渐高上去)这时,我发现很多学员露出了微笑,现场变得轻松,拉近了与学员的心理距离,我就从容的展开了课题。
二、抛出问题切入法
有次针对一百多人的团队讲课时,我发现我被介绍上场时,现场听众情绪状态并没有达到理想状态,当然对我也不够了解,于是我经过简单而富有激情的问候以后,而且是很快取得下面听众的呼应,马上我就抛个问题给我的听众了:
“请问各位亲爱的伙伴,今天是个什么特殊的日子呢?”
我一问完,大家思路马上被引导去想今天是什么日子,可当天并不是什么样节日,有的说是不是谁生日,有的说是不是冬至,有的说是第一次听你讲课,等等各种有趣猜想,气氛逐级升温,我不断点头微笑附和,最后我看时机已到,于是我方面语速告诉我的听众: “各位伙伴,你们回答的都很好,而我要告诉你的是,今天是你人生当中从来没有经历过的全新的一天,同意吗?所以各位我们应该给我们全新的一天,热烈掌声鼓励一下!”
三、故事切入法
我们的培训教室能容纳四十多人,有时候参加培训的人员较少,只有五、六人或者十几人,可是,我发现,他们普遍坐在教室的后面(中国人的特性吧),我这样开场:
“这个现象我发现很久了,为什么大家都愿意坐在后面呢?我想这大概是中国人的本性吧。在这里,我首先讲一个故事吧”。(是撒切尔夫人永远做前排的故事,详见下面)讲完故事后,然后我就用高昂的声调说:“‘永远坐在前排’是一种积极的人生态度,激发你一往无前的勇气和争创一流的精神。在这个世界上,想坐前排的人不少,真正能够坐在“前排”的却总是不多。许多人所以不能坐到“前排”,就是因为他们把“坐在前排”仅仅当成一种人生理想,而没有采取具体行动。那么现在在座的各位,有没有想坐前排,并且愿以自己的行动真正的做到前排来呢?!”
这样,员工都坐到前面来,并且达到了心与心的碰撞!
四、名人名言切入法
这是我参加一次内训课时讲师的开场白:分享俄国伟大的作家托尔斯泰的三句话。
这世界上最重要的人是谁?(学员思考、讨论片刻,打出答案)——现在在我眼前的人。
这世界上最重要的事是什么?(学员思考、讨论片刻,打出答案)——现在我要做的事。
这世界上最重要的时间是什么?(学员思考、讨论片刻,打出答案)——此时此刻。
结论:
此时此刻,我们做最重要的事,因为我们是最重要的人!(全体学员一起说)
五、分享宋方渠老师的精彩开场白
“各位优秀的伙伴大家下午好!很高兴有机会和大家一起学习一起成长。首先要感谢我们的主办方####公司和####经理,是他给我们这样一个好的学习沟通机会。借各位热情的双手对他们的付出表示感谢!谢谢! 最重要的是要感谢你们的到来、因为有你们的到来才会有我们的今天,把掌声送给优秀的你们自己!”
“大家以为我会怎么样,其实也不怎么样,首先是海拔不高,170cm的高度,但也不要太失望,据目前最新科学调查,这个高度是目前地球最适合生存的高度,大家要不要给我这个最适合的高度热烈的掌声鼓励一下?谢谢!在座各位是第一次来听我演讲的请举手给我看一下好吗?好,把手放下,居然有这么多的新朋友,我们用掌声对新朋友的到来表示热烈的欢迎!同时也欢迎我们的老朋友!让我们的新朋友和老朋友成为我们一生的好朋友,大家说好不好?”
背景故事:永远都要坐前排
20世纪30年代,英国一个不出名的小镇里,有一个叫玛格丽特的小姑娘,自小就受到严格的家庭教育。父亲经常向她灌输这样的观点:无论做什么事情都要力争一流,永远做在别人前头,而不能落后于人。“即使是坐公共汽车,你也要永远坐在前排。”父亲从来不允许她说:“我不能”或者&l
dquo;太难了”之类的话。 对年幼的孩子来说,他的要求可能太高了,但他的教育在以后的年代里被证明是非常宝贵的。正是因为从小就受到父亲的“残酷”教育,才培养了玛格丽特积极向上的决心和信心。在以后的学习、生活或工作中,她时时牢记父亲的教导,总是抱着一往无前的精神和必胜的信念,尽自己最大努力克服一切困难,做好每一件事情,事事必争一流,以自己的行动实践着“永远坐在前排”。 玛格丽特上大学时,学校要求五年的拉丁文课程。她凭着自己顽强的毅力和拼搏精神,硬是在一年内全部学完了。令人难以置信的是,她的考试成绩竟然名列前茅。
其实,玛格丽特不光是学业上出类拔萃,她在体育、音乐、演讲及学校的其他活动方面也都一直走在前列,是学生中凤毛麟角的佼佼者之一。当年她所在学校的校长评价她说:“她无疑是我们建校以来最优秀的学生,她总是雄心勃勃,每件事情都做得很出色。” 正因为如此,四十多年以后,英国乃至整个欧洲政坛上才出现了一颗耀眼的明星,她就是连续四年当选保守党领袖,并于1979年成为英国第一位女首相,雄踞政坛长达11年之久,被世界政坛誉为“铁娘子”的玛格丽特撒切尔夫人。
“永远坐在前排”是一种积极的人生态度,激发你一往无前的勇气和争创一流的精神。在这个世界上,想坐前排的人不少,真正能够坐在“前排”的却总是不多。许多人所以不能坐到“前排”,就是因为他们把“坐在前排”仅仅当成一种人生理想,而没有采取具体行动。那些最终坐到“前排”的人,之所以成功,是因为他们不但有理想,更重要的是他们把他们的理想变成了行动。
一位哲人说过:无论做什么事情,你的态度决定你的高度。撒切尔夫人的父亲对孩子的教育给了我们深刻的启示。
