UNIT 15
Speechwriting
Text A
The good speechwriter has the ability to stand in the shoes of the person who must give the speech. Sociologists call this empathic ability - the ability to think and feel much as the person who will give the speech. In a sense, you become your client's alter ego.
Such understanding and empathic ability do not arise in a vacuum. They can develop only after a great deal of research and thorough discussion with the person for whom you are writing.
Researching Audience and Speaker
If you are given a speechwriting assignment, the first step is to find out everything possible about the audience. Who? Where? When? How many people? What time of day? Purpose of meeting? How long a talk? Purpose of talk? Other speakers and their topics? To find the answers to these questions, it might be necessary to talk with a number of individuals. Don't necessarily trust the information you get if it appears to be only a guess. Too many speakers have innocently blundered because they received bad information about their audience.
Next, learn everything you can about the speaker. Listen to the speaker talk - to other groups, to subordinates, to yourself. Get a chance to see how his or her mind works, what word phrases are favored, and what kinds of opinions are expressed. In addition to listening, it is also a good idea to go over material that the client has written or, if written by others, that the client admires in terms of style and method of presentation.
□ Vocabulary:
empathic - сочувствующий; эмпатический; переживающий
alter ego - «альтер эго», второе «я»
guess - догадка, предположение
blunder - допустить оплошность, ошибку
subordinate - подчиненный
favor - отдавать предпочтение
admire - восхищаться, любоваться
in terms - с точки зрения; в смысле; что касается
