即兴演讲(impromptu speech)，顾名思义，就是指临场的、毫无准备的演讲。下面是小编整理了怎样做好即兴演讲，欢迎阅读。

在前面所提到的两大比赛中，即兴演讲所占时间为1~3分钟，分值所占比重为30%~40%，在比赛中的地位十分重要。如果参赛选手想要取得优秀的成绩，那么就一定要在该部分取得高分。

即兴演讲对于使用母语演讲的人来说都非常困难，更何况是使用非母语演讲的选手?这部分非常具有挑战性，主要考察选手多方面能力：思维能力、逻辑能力和语言能力。思维能力是指选手在毫无准备的情况下对某一问题的分析能力，对问题理解的深度和宽度等;逻辑能力主要指选手是否有全局观，是否能合理搭筑整个演讲的框架，所阐述观点的层次性是否清晰;而语言能力则是指选手即席用英语进行交流沟通的能力，可检验选手的英语语言熟练度和准确度如何。那么如何应对即兴演讲呢?

在定题演讲部分，我们讨论了衡量一篇演讲好坏的普遍原则。这些原则对所有类型的演讲都适用，即兴演讲也不例外。在做即兴演讲时，也要从以下四个方面着手：内容、结构、语言以及台上演讲风格等。

内容

在讨论即兴演讲的内容之前，先了解几个在近几年大赛即兴演讲中出现的题目。

is marking western holidays a sign of a modern china or of traditions sacrificed to commercial interests?

do you think university education should be more open-minded?

are we becoming too susceptible to advertising?

which qualities do you look for in a boyfriend?

if you were one representative of people's congress, what advice would you give the government?

题目还有很多，这里就不一一列举了。通过这几个题目，大致可以看出即兴演讲的题目涉及方方面面，从经济、政治、教育、文化、人生到国际问题，包罗万象。这也是即兴演讲具有极强挑战性的原因之一。 题目的范围之大之广对参赛选手提出了很高的要求。要求演讲者平时养成读书看报的习惯，关注周围发生的焦点问题和国际时事，积累各个领域的素材，以便谈论起某一个话题时言之有物，有的放矢;要求演讲者平时养成思考的习惯，多听不同的声音，从不同角度看问题，看问题有想法、有深度。这些都是赛前的准备工作，应多积累、丰富自己的知识内容，强化自己的观点。

那么在比赛当中，又该怎样具体应对呢?

正如前面所讲的，好的内容包括好的主题以及有说服力的材料做支持。在即兴演讲中，更要注意这两点。

1.强有力的材料做支持

正如前面讨论过的那样，论据的类型最基本可分为三种：实例、统计数字以及引用别人的言语。对于即兴演讲来说，现场能够找到恰当的统计数字是非常困难的。因此在即兴演讲时，引用别人的言语和用实例来证明是最常见的两种方式。那么应该选择哪种类型的例子来做论据呢?在比赛现场上进行即兴演讲时，最切实可行的、最容易做到的就是用自己或自己周围发生的例子来说明你的观点，信手拈来，不用绞尽脑汁，演讲起来最自如，最自信;这样做无形之中也强化了自己的可信度，比较容易打动听众。如在“21世纪(爱立信杯”XX年第8届全国英语演讲比赛中获得第二名的南京大学学生王媛在即兴演讲中是这样说的，

"if indeed i had a chance to choose for my life again, i think the time setting i would choose is in the late 1970s and the early 1980s. that was when the chinese government began to adopt the policy of reform and openness. and the place setting i would choose is in some places in the western part of china. why? let me share with you my reasons.

well, when i firstly saw this, errr, heard this topic, i think it reminded me of an experience a few years ago. i still clearly remember that, uhh, at that time, some fellow students and i went to visit a primary school in a very poor village and we were working as tutors there. there, all the classrooms were in a very old building and many windows and doors were broken, so, when it was raining, all the children had to move to a corner in order not to get wet. inside the classroom, five to six children were sharing one desk normally shared by two and many of the desks and chairs were broken, too.

and immediately after we began to teach them english, it became very clear to us that many of these students were very diligent and were very willing to work hard. but later on, as we talked among ourselves, we got to know that they, many of them, could not finish their schooling just because of poverty. i think that this experience enabled us to see that we belong to a few group of, a group of few people that are fortunately enough to receive a college education."

这段演讲是她真情实感的流露，表达起来自如，而且自信，也容易和听众进行真正的交流。
