Read the speech by a Blue Sky Rescue volunteer.
What kind of hook does the speaker use?
.Which paragraph includes a call to action?

call to action通常位于演讲的结尾部分,旨在号

召听众采取行动。
两者相辅相成:一个成功的开场能够吸引听众注意力,
为后续的呼吁奠定基础;一个强有力的呼吁则能将开场
引发的兴趣转化为实际行动,从而助力实现演讲的目的。
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.
Suggested Answers
The speaker uses a story from his past experience.He tells the audience
his own story about how he was involved in a rescue himself.The final
paragraph gives a call to action.He calls on the audience to volunteer too.
成功的演讲离不开精心设计的开场“钩子”(hook)和行动呼吁(ca川
to action),分别承担吸引听众注意力和激励听众采取行动的重要作用。
