Chapter 68 Effective Ways to Link Key Points in a Speech

Shows you a simple but effective way to tie your main points together - make up a nonsensical sentence. There are generally only two ways we think about things: first, through "external stimuli"; second, by associating with something that already exists in our minds.The way this applies to speeches is: First, you can use some external stimuli—such as notes and notes—to help you remember the main points of the speech.But who wants to see a speaker with a note?Second, you can connect your speech to something that is already in your mind.And these points should be arranged in a reasonable order, so that the first point must lead you to the second point, and then the third point, just like the door of one room, through which it naturally leads into another room.

This sounds very easy, but it is not easy to do it, especially for some beginners, whose thinking ability cannot resist fear.However, I can tell you a simple but effective way to tie your points together - make up a nonsensical sentence.Suppose you want to talk about a series of topics, but the topics are not coherent, so it is difficult to remember, such as cows, cigars, Napoleon, houses, religion.Let's try to string them together in a very ridiculous sentence, like this one: "The old cow, smoking a cigar, put Napoleon on its horns, and the house was set ablaze by religion." Now, please cover the sentence above with your hand and answer these questions:

What is the third point mentioned above?What about the fifth point?fourth point?The first point? Does this method work?It sure works!Since you want to enhance your memory, use it quickly. Any series of thoughts can be connected in this way, and the more absurd the sentence, the easier it is to remember.
