The success of a speech is often due to the skill of the speaker who is confident，knowledgeable and able to deliver a speech clearly and effectively．
But often it is not the speakers who write these moving speeches；it is a speechwriter. And polities is one industry in which this practise is common．．So what does it take to be a political speechwriter?
According to a recent job advertisement from the US Embassy in Britain，a political speechwriter needs to have excellent interpersonal skills and be able to demonstrate a deep knowledge of their subject．They must also work closely with speakers and be able to relate to the speakers’ style．
Some believe that the best speechwriters have a—born talent，a natural creative ability， and that speechwriting is an art.
What about those of us who _______? Can we still produce successful speeches?
In an interview with the BBC，Dr Atkinson(a communications specialist)outlined a
number of speechwriting techniques．He also explained how the．se techniques have been used in historic speeches．
One such technique is introducing contrast(对比)．This is extremely useful when presenting a positive influence on a negative issue. One of the most famous examples of this can be seen in a speech given by former American President John Kennedy：“Ask not what your country can do for you，but what you can do for your country.”
Another technique is the use of three—part lists．Dr Atkinson explains that this can be an excellent way of confirming a statement．Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair was a fan of this technique．One of his most famous campaign Slogans(口号)was“education， education，education”.
