16. Speechwriting 写演讲稿 [00:02.03]The success of a speech [00:04.41]is often attributed to the skill of the speaker, [00:07.19]with merit being given [00:08.97]to speakers who are confident, articulate, [00:11.95]knowledgeable and able to deliver a speech with conviction. [00:16.21]But often it is not the speakers [00:19.10]who write these moving speeches, [00:20.92]it is a speechwriter. [00:22.74]And one industry [00:24.42]in which this practice is common is that of politics. [00:28.47]So what does it take to be a political speechwriter? [00:32.57]Well according to a recent job advertisement [00:36.61]from the US Embassy in Britain, [00:38.43]a political speechwriter [00:40.01]needs to have exceptional interpersonal skills, [00:43.45]be detail oriented [00:45.57]and able to demonstrate a deep knowledge of their subject. [00:49.22]They must also work closely with speakers [00:52.16]and be able to relate to their style. [00:54.65]Some believe that the best speechwriters [00:57.83]have an inherent talent, [01:00.36]a natural creative instinct, [01:02.08]and that speechwriting is an art form. [01:04.87]
