Please follow the steps below to complete the task: Step 1: Read the selection below aloud, in your public speaking way. “That really worries me. How can we expect legislation with our rights or needs being preserved if we don't have equal representation? So here's my hope: If you're in politics, media, the tech industry, or working as an entrepreneur or a teacher or a construction worker or a caregiver, you know the problems we are all facing. I urge each one of you to ask yourselves: What do we do now? That's a big question.”(75 words in 30 seconds, from Reese Witherspoon's acceptance speech as Glamour's 2015 Woman of the Year) Step 2: Watch the corresponding part of the video (See "7.4 Assignment 2 Instructions and Help"), and see in what ways the speaker's management is different from yours (not necessarily better :)). Then mark out places she slowed down, the words she espeically emphasized, where she "whispered,", where she paused, etc. Step 3: Imitate. Pay special attention to the vocal performance, but do try to imitate everything--her gestures, her head movements, her bright bright eyes..everything really. Step 4: Record your voice (as you imitate full-body), and upload for peer review. This is not an easy exercise, but it's going to dramatically empower your body, making you a 2-levels up speaker!

第八周 Opening and Closing 演讲的开篇与结尾

8.1 Opening a Speech 如何一鸣惊人：演讲的开篇随堂测验

1、Epidemiologist Seth Berkley believes vaccines can be the super-hero. Below is the opening of this TED talk. What opening strategies did he use? "Do you worry about what's going to kill you? Heart disease, cancer, a car accident? Most of us worry about things we can't control, like war, terrorism, the tragic earthquake that just occurred in Haiti. But what really threatens humanity? A few years ago, Professor Vaclav Smil tried to calculate the probability of sudden disasters large enough to change history. He called these, "massively fatal discontinuities," meaning that they could kill up to 100 million people in the next 50 years. He looked at the odds of another world war, of a massive volcanic eruption, even of an asteroid hitting the Earth. But he placed the likelihood of one such event above all others at close to 100 percent, and that is a servere flu pandemic. Now, you might think of flue as just a really bad cold, but it can be a death sentence. Every year, 36,000 people in the United States die of seasonal flue. In the developing world, the data is much sketchier but the death toll is almost certainly higher...So, I'm here to trumpet vaccines for you."
A、Something about the audience
B、Startling statistic(s)
C、Thought-provoking question(s)
D、Attention-getting quotation(s)

8.2 Closing a Speech 何不意犹未尽：演讲的结尾随堂测验

No longer does AIDS need to kill two million a year. No longer do the poor and vulnerable need to be threatened by infectious diseases, or indeed, anybody. Instead of having Vaclav Smil's 'massively fatal discontinuity' of life, we can ensure the continuity of life. What the world needs now are these new vaccines, and we can make it happen. Thank you." So other than summarizing, what closing strategies did he use?
A、Ending with a quotation
B、Making a dramatic statement
C、Refering to the introduction
D、/

1、Hey APSers! Let's show off what we've acquired during the past 8 weeks! For Pre 2, give a 3-minute persuasive speech on ONE of the three topics below. Please start early, so that you can fully prepare: research, decide and organize main points, find/select supporting materials, write up the draft, design opening and closing, empower it verbally, plan delivery, rehearse (and re-rehearse), and then you're ready to be heard! [APPLAUD] During this process, let our "Persuasive Speech Preparation Worksheet" and "Pre 2 Scoring Sheet" be of help (See under "7.5 Pre 2 Instructions and Help"). Any questions, feel free to ask under Session 7.5 as well. When you're ready, paste your speech script in the box and upload your audio/video here. Please note: 1. Your audio(mp3 file)/video(needs to be compressed first) should be named after your MOOC ID. 2. [JUMP] This Pre 2 is also your contribution to our APS Speech Contest. We're giving out "Best Voice", "Best Language" and "Best APS Speech" awards respectively to 3 of you. The awards (SISU souvenirs) will be posted to you soon after you find us in our APS WeChat group. Sooo looking forward to hearing the speaker you!
