問題詳情：

Writing a funny speech is possibly a lot harder than writing a serious-minded one. Are you up for it? Well, if you think you are, try these steps.

Choose a funny topic. Ask your partner, friends, etc., if they agree with you that you have chosen a funny topic. Nothing is less funny than choosing a topic that only satisfies your sense of humor But not anybody else’s. If you can’t think of a funny topic, choose one on an everyday activity.   36 

    Research your topic. If you can’t think of enough witticisms (妙語) of your own, go online and hunt down other people’s.   37   But if you’re performing in public, be sure to acknowledge others’ or to paraphrase (改寫) it so that you are not copying.

Write in a humorous way.   38   Don’t choose unclear references. Choose something that everyone is bound to know and understand. Naturally, this will depend on the make-up of those listening to your speech. Make jokes about your topic; that way, everyone will understand, unless the audience has a horrible sense of humor.

  39   If they don’t laugh, this might be a sign to rewrite your speech. Get a good listener. Someone who is a lot like the majority of your audience would be a good listener, because you will know exactly what to say to make them laugh.

Have fun! If you go up to give your speech and you’re shaky and nervous because you don’t think anyone will laugh, everyone will be more focused on terrifying you than listening to your speech.   40   Chances are that you’ll never have to speak in front of them again.

A.     Ask your listeners to come back.

B.     Humor works best when everyone “gets it.”

C.     Just have a good time giving the speech and don’t mind your audience.

D.     That way, you can push the boundaries and make it amusing.

E.     People do get stage frights, but if you’re confident, then everything will go just fine.

F.  Read your speech out to someone trusted before giving it

G.  If you're at a private party, you won't need to be too concerned about using other people's materials.
