1.If you intend using humor in your talk to make people smile,you must know how to identify shared experiences and problems.Your humor must be related to the audience and should help to show them that you are one of them or that you understand their situation and are in sympathy with their point of view.Depending on whom you are addressing,the problems will be different.If you are talking to a group of managers,you may refer to the disorganized methods of their secretaries; alternatively if you are addressing secretaries,you may want to comment on their disorganized bosses.Here is an example,which I heard at a nurses'convention,of a story that works well because the audience all shared the same view of doctors.A man arrives in heaven and is being shown around by St.Peter.He sees wonderful accommodations,beautiful gardens,sunny weather,and so on.Everyone is very peaceful,polite and friendly until,waiting in a line for lunch,the new arrival is suddenly pushed aside by a man in a white coat,who rushes to the head of the line,grabs his food and stomps over to a table by himself."Who is that?"the new arrival asked St.Peter."Oh,that's God."came the reply,"but sometimes he thinks he's a doctor."
If you are part of the group,which you are addressing,you will be in a position to know the experiences and problems,which are common to all of you and it'll be proper for you to make a comment on the uneatable canteen food or the chairman's bad taste in ties.With other audiences you mustn't try to interrupt with humor,as they will hate an outsider making unkind remarks about their canteen or their chairman.You will be on safer ground if you stick to scapegoats(替罪羊) like the Post Office or the telephone system.
Look for the humor.It often comes from the unexpected.A twist on a familiar quote"If at first you don't succeed,give up"or a play on words or on a situation.Search for exaggeration(夸张) and understatements.Look at your talk and pick out a few words or sentences,which you can turn about and add with humor.
