Effective eloquence training methods

Eloquence is a tool for communication between people. Only by communicating with others first can we further show our literary talent. So, is there any way to improve your eloquence quickly and effectively?

Eloquence training: keyword association training method

Keyword association is an association triggered by keywords.

Keyword association can be divided into three categories.

First, from one keyword to another.

For example: from keyword people to men, women, good people, bad people, old people and children;

You can also think of a specific person, and then a specific person thinks of his interests, hobbies, family, background, education, strengths, weaknesses, specialties, personality, . . . .

Second, think of a topic from a keyword

For example, keyword eating can lead to the following topics:

1. Have you eaten?

2. What did you eat in the morning?

What are you going to eat in the evening?

4. What do you like to eat?

5. Did you make it yourself?

6. Are you hungry?

I have listed six topics briefly. In fact, many topics can be brought out. Friends can think about what other topics can be brought out.

Third, think of relevant quotations, classic sentences, jokes, stories, etc. From a keyword.

For example, when you see a waterfall, you will associate it with flying down from 3,000 feet. Doubt is a classic poem of nine days after the Milky Way sets.

Keyword association is a way of thinking used in almost every social chat, but many friends don't realize it.

Keyword association training method is to consciously and actively carry out keyword association training when there is no chat.

Long-term adherence to keyword association training can effectively improve association ability and strengthen the impression of common chat keywords, common chat topics, and related classic quotations, classic sentences, jokes and stories. In your brain. The deeper these impressions are, the faster you can extract relevant content from your brain when chatting, and the less likely you are to be speechless. Of course, the mouth will get better and better!

An important method of eloquence training: storytelling training

When friends pay attention to observation in their lives, they will find that extroverted and talkative people especially like to tell stories, and they are radiant and eloquent. People who are introverted and taciturn don't like telling stories and can't tell them. Even if I had to tell a story because of chatting, I ended up in a few words, understated, simple, very boring and unattractive to the audience.

In some social chat activities, storytelling accounts for about 50% or more of the whole chat time. Therefore, it is very important for introverted and taciturn friends to train their ability to tell stories.

Storytelling training methods can be divided into two categories according to the source of stories:

The first is to tell a ready-made complete story.

Remember some classic philosophical stories, love stories, celebrity stories, inspirational stories, fairy tales, ghost stories, classic jokes and so on.

Remembering these stories doesn't require rote memorization, but memorizing the general contents of the stories first, and then expressing them in your own language. Then compare it with the original story to see why the original story is lively and interesting and why the description is dull and tasteless, and then reorganize the language.

The second category is to tell stories that I have experienced and seen with my own eyes. You must organize your own language to tell such a story.

For taciturn friends, to tell a good story, we must first enrich the content of the story, tell the details of the story, and tell a story of one or two sentences into dozens or hundreds.

Now I want to get to the point. Let me tell you a rich and complete story.

I. Description of time, place and environment

1, time: it can be a specific time or an approximate time; A long time ago, a year ago, a few days ago, yesterday, this morning, etc.

3. Environment: Description of scenery and sky weather: wind, clouds, sun, temperature, air, visibility, etc.

Second, character description.

1. Description of characters' appearance, temperament and manners.

2. The action details and facial expressions of the characters.

3. Describe the inner activities, emotions and feelings of the characters.

4, the name of the character, origin, family background, growth experience, achievements and contributions, others' evaluation, influence, etc.

5. Express your comments, sighs and feelings about the characters.

Third, the description of the event.

1, event reason

2. The course of the incident

3, the result of the event

4. Express your comments, sighs and feelings about the event.

Master the above three categories 12, and you won't finish the story in a few words. If you can also use suspense and other skills, use some rhetorical devices such as exaggeration and metaphor, then your story will be beautiful!

For the beginners of eloquence training, before telling the stories they have experienced and seen with their own eyes, it is best to write the stories they want to tell in their notebooks or their own WeChat favorites. Just like writing a composition, write it out and think it over again, so the effect of practice is better!

Eloquence training and thinking training

People with poor eloquence generally have a problem-solving way of thinking, like logical thinking, like judging right and wrong, like analyzing pros and cons, and like reasoning with others.

If the topic of chat is a specific problem, the brain will make full use of it for analysis, reasoning and judgment, and put forward specific methods and reasons to solve the specific problem.

If the other party makes a judgment and conclusion, the brain will also reason according to its own experience and knowledge, judge the correctness of the other party's conclusion, and tell its own views and reasons.

If the topic of chat is not a specific question or a conclusion that needs to be judged right or wrong, people with poor eloquence will be at a loss and don't know what to say!

In fact, in the process of daily chat, many times the topic is not a specific problem that needs to be solved, nor does it need to judge right or wrong, let alone reason. This is why people with poor eloquence can't chat, are afraid of chatting and socializing.

Therefore, if people with poor eloquence want to practice eloquence well, the most important thing is to enrich their way of thinking, expand rich association and imagination, and master a variety of thinking routines on how to deal with it in different occasions.

The key to eloquence training is thinking training! Train your association, imagination and some chat thinking routines and skills. Master rhetorical devices and humorous skills that make language expression accurate, vivid, powerful and humorous.
