writing a speech is in many ways like writing a paper, except that there is no penalty for spelling and punctuation errors. try not to use words you are not comfortable pronouncing or don't know the meaning of because it can lead to a less fluently delivered speech.
从很多方面来说，写演讲稿就像写论文，但演讲稿却没有像论文那般特别注重单词的拼写与标点的错误。写演讲稿的时候，不要用一些发音不顺畅或是你不明白意思的单词，因为会导致你的演讲不够流畅。
