二、英语演讲属于艺术吗?
卢卡斯的书《演讲的艺术》
三、可以推荐一些提高英语演讲能力的书吗？
中文英文演讲能力练习基本是想通的，推荐一本对我影响最大的书
乔布斯的魔力演讲其中可以学会两个演讲杀手锏：
- 三段式演讲
- 救世主叙事方式
至于英语，更多是文化的问题，你用中文的段子是不好在英文环境引起共鸣。
读书之外需要多看别人的演讲来增加输入，比如看乔布斯的历届产品的发布会。
对于考试党可以试试考 PTE， Read Aloud 和 Describe Image 这两项对演讲能力提升非常有帮助。
对于英文演讲能力提升的误区
- 英文演讲是英文口语中最好提升的，不是最难提升的。因为我们可以充分准备、排练后上场。（比如通过写从逐字稿开始练习）
- 英文演讲根词汇量关系不太大，简单的语句 + 幻灯片把故事讲顺了就好，最重要的是我们敢不敢上台讲，也就是跟你的自信程度有关。
- 自信程度跟你的练习量有关，尤其是对即兴演讲练。如果你手上没有现成表达模板很难做到即兴演讲。关于模板参考这条回答：怎么摆脱胆怯，快速提升会议上有条理地讲话能力?
