Which paragraph includes a call to action? Careful reading Identifying the features of a speech A speech can start with a hook to make the audience curious about what the speaker will say next. A story, an interesting fact, or even a question can be a hook. A speech can also include a call to action by encouraging people to do something. Hook: A "hook" is like a magnet at the start of a speech. It grabs the audience’s attention —make them think "Wow, I want to hear more!" Call to Action: At the end, the speaker says "Hey, you! Do something!", like asking people to join, help, or change. Read the speech by a Blue Sky Rescue volunteer. What kind of hook does the speaker use? Which paragraph includes a call to action? The speaker uses a personal story hook. The speaker shares his own experience of being rescued by Blue Sky Rescue in 2008, which grabs the audience’s attention by connecting emotionally and introducing the topic. 1b The last paragraph includes the call to action.

By starting with a personal experience, the speaker aims to build an emotional resonance/connection(情感共鸣) with the audience. It shows why the rescue team is important to him personally, making listeners trust and care about his message more. The story directly leads to his motivation for joining the rescue team, smoothly transitioning from his personal experience to the main topic of the speech, making the whole talk logical and heartfelt. Would a fact or question hook work better? Why/why not? No, a personal story works best for this speech. A fact (e.g. “Blue Sky Rescue has saved 10,000 people.”) is interesting but not emotional. A question (e.g. “Have you ever needed help?”) is good, but not as powerful as a real story. 语篇研读 语篇分析 What: 本文是一篇蓝天救援队志愿者的演讲稿，主要讲述了加入蓝天救援队的契机、志愿工作的内容、志愿工作的收获与挑战，最后呼吁大家加入蓝天救援队。 Why: 通过演讲者的个人故事，展现了蓝天救援队的工作日常以及志愿者无私奉献的精神，凸显了公益组织的社会价值。 语篇研读 语篇分析 How: 本文以第一人称“I”和“We”进行叙事，使语言具有亲切感。演讲者以亲身经历开篇，激发观众情感共鸣。在表达情感时，通过“an ordinary person”与“heroes”、“without food or sleep”与“worth it”形成反差，彰显志愿者精神。以“Will you join us as a volunteer?”这一疑问句结尾，引发观众思考，强化号召力。 1c Read the speech again.
