How to write the opening speech?
The beginning of a speech is also called prologue. It occupies a prominent position in the speech structure and has a special role. There are generally the following kinds of speeches at the beginning: 1) Get to the point and reveal the theme.
General political or academic speeches are straight to the point and directly reveal the center of the speech. For example, Soong Ching Ling's speech at the ceremony of accepting the honorary doctorate in law from Victoria University in Canada began with: "I am honored to accept the honorary doctorate in law from Victoria University in Canada."
Using this method, we should first clearly grasp the center of the speech and present the arguments to the audience, so that the audience will know what the center of the speech is and concentrate immediately. But this method is easy to appear too dull and calm, and it is difficult to attract people.
2) Explain the situation and introduce the background.
For example, Engels' speech at Marx's tomb began like this: "At 2: 30 on March 14, the greatest thinker of our time stopped thinking, ... and fell asleep forever."
This opening gives a necessary explanation of the time and place where things happened, in order to prepare for further revealing the topic to the audience. Use this method from the beginning, we must start from the center of the speech, we must not talk nonsense and digress from Wan Li, and we must prevent rhetoric and empty talk from ruining the listener's appetite.
3) Ask questions to attract attention.
At the beginning of writing a speech, we can ask some questions according to the characteristics of the audience and the content of the speech to stimulate the audience's thinking, thus arousing the audience's interest. This kind of question should be novel and unique, which can really make the audience think.
Opening skill
1. Cut to the chase and don't say anything superfluous.
Some people often make unnecessary polite remarks at the beginning of a speech. Ye Shengtao once commented: "Everyone knows that these are modest words. However, before the speech, the speaker was a little thoughtless. You said you weren't prepared and there was nothing to say, so why did you go on a talk show? What comes out from behind, whether it is a few words or a long speech, can you say it? What you say casually doesn't mean anything, so are you just taking part in accidental amusement? What kind of attitude is it to tell others if you don't believe it yourself? " In fact, the speaker's "superfluous words" are not necessarily from his own heart, but are influenced by stereotypes. Listening to people say this, and saying it yourself, the audience tends to relax.
Example 1:
General political or academic speeches are straight to the point and directly reveal the center of the speech. For example, Deng Xiaoping's "Reform of the Party and State Leadership System" begins:
This enlarged meeting is mainly to discuss the reform of the party and state leadership system and some related issues.
Example 2:
Another example is the beginning of Zhang Chengxian's "Three Orientations" as the guiding principle of education reform:
1983 In September, Comrade Deng Xiaoping proposed that "education should face the modern, the world and the future". "Three Faces" points out the strategic direction of education in Sri Lanka's historical period and is the general policy of future education reform.
At this beginning, the audience will know what they are talking about as soon as they hear it, and their attention will be focused immediately.
2. Explain the background, the purpose and reason of the speech.
Example:
For example, "President Li Xiannian's Speech at the Closing Banquet to Welcome Democratic Kampuchea Representatives" begins:
On the day when our country is celebrating the 35th anniversary of the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), it is especially gratifying that the delegation of Democratic Kampuchea headed by Prince Sihanouk, with your Excellency and Joe as deputy heads, made a special trip to our country to participate in the celebration and pay an official goodwill visit. On behalf of the government and people of China, I would like to extend my warm welcome and thanks to you for coming.
This opening explains the background and cause of this speech, and makes the audience understand under what circumstances this speech was made.

Dear teachers and classmates: Hello everyone!
The theme of my speech today is "thrift, start with me".
I remember when I was very young, the first Tang poem we learned was: "Cut the grain at noon, and sweat dripped down the soil. Who knows that every grain of Chinese food is hard. " Teachers and parents often educate us to save every grain of rice. Uncle farmer works too hard. Every grain we eat is watered by rain and sweat. Thrift is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation and one of the most important tasks in today's society.

The opening remarks of ten speeches
Dear teachers and classmates: Hello everyone! It's a great honor to bring you today's speech. The topic of my speech today is my dream.
Everyone has a dream, and everyone yearns for it. A person's life without dreams will be empty. A life without dreams is like a plane losing its lighthouse and a ship losing its lighthouse, which will eventually be eliminated by society. But dreams always change with the progress of thought. Mediocrity is a mediocre work, and self-improvement is a wise move.

The motherland is the Yangtze River in my heart, the Yellow River in my heart, the land of 9.6 million square kilometers in my heart and the ocean of 3 million square kilometers in my heart.
