Similarities and differences between competitive speeches and inaugural speeches

Competitive speech (also called competitive speech) is a new style with the reform of personnel system in China. At present, many organs, enterprises, institutions and mass organizations openly recruit the needed talents to the society or the system through the reform of personnel system. In order to truly select outstanding talents, under the supervision and guidance of personnel organizations, discipline inspection and supervision departments and other relevant departments, we adhere to the principle of openness, fairness and fairness in competition, and adopt the methods of examination, assessment, speech, etc. to comprehensively score and select the best candidates. Therefore, candidates should not only pass the examination and assessment, but also make competitive speeches within a certain range. Through the competitive speech, the competitors express their understanding of the post and their thinking about the work. How well the speech is written is directly related to the success or failure of the speech and the competition. As an important form of expressing thoughts and political views, competitive speech is more and more widely used by middle-level cadres of party and government organs and employees of enterprises and institutions, and has become an effective way for people to examine a person's comprehensive quality.

To sum up, the competitive post (post) speech is often used to give a speech within a certain range (the main members of the evaluation team or an appropriate number of hiring personnel) after the competitive post (post) has passed the examination, mainly introducing their own work experience, ethics and ideas (or plans) for competitive posts.

The term "taking office" has existed since ancient times, which refers to taking office formally or working after taking office. For example, "Biography of Zhu Hanbo" said: "The story is new, and you have to send officials to pay tribute, but you dare to take office"; Jin Shimi's Chen Qingbiao: "I want to show my news, but I won't take office" and so on. Political parties, social organizations, enterprises and institutions, state public officials or social citizens shall deliver inaugural speeches after being appointed or elected to a certain post in various state departments and organizations. Inaugural speeches are especially popular in the west. Successive presidents of the United States, from George Washington to Bill Clinton to barack obama, have done their best to this end. With the deepening of reform and opening-up, China's speech industry is constantly developing, and the new "officials" should also deliver inaugural speeches, release the policy agenda through speeches, establish an image and boost morale.

Therefore, the inaugural address is a manuscript used by newly elected or re-elected heads of government, local governors, department leaders and leading cadres of enterprises and institutions when they take office, and gives policy speeches on handling government affairs at home and abroad, at local and departmental levels. Both the competitive speech and the inaugural speech are members of the speech family, which have the characteristics of general speeches and follow the principles and requirements of speech writing. They have many similarities, but there are obvious differences because of their different writing purposes, so we should pay attention to the differences in actual use and not mix them up and misuse them.

I. Similarity comparison

1. Same attributes and characteristics

Both the campaign speech and the inaugural speech are a kind of speeches, which have the general characteristics of speeches, namely, pertinence, distinctiveness, organization and artistry. Targeting means that when writing competitive speeches and inaugural speeches, we should consider the objectives and requirements of the work and the needs of specific audiences. Competitors or incumbents should express their opinions on the problems that need to be solved most in real life, and their spearheads must be the hot spots and focal issues of their own units in order to arouse the resonance of listeners. The competitive speech is aimed at the requirements of a specific post or position, and the inaugural speech is aimed at the upcoming post and the cadres and workers who work together. Everyone needs to set a theme, choose materials and write a manuscript. Distinctiveness means that the content of a speech can not only describe things objectively, but also show and clarify one's own views. All these should be clear and unambiguous. A good speech always inspires the audience with its profound thoughts, influences the audience with its bright views, and inspires and educates the audience. The competitive speech should be clear about the positions to be competed, the understanding of competitive positions should be clear, the policy objectives and ideas should be clear, and the attitude of expressing wishes should be sincere. In the inaugural speech, it is necessary to clarify the responsibilities of the upcoming post, clearly explain the "three fires" (administrative measures) of "new officials taking office", and clarify the attitude of confidence. Orderliness means that in order to make the speech easy to be heard and understood by the audience, it must be organized and clear. Otherwise, although the content is rich and profound, it is scattered and lacks logic, which will also affect the effect of the speech. The advantages and conditions of individual competition and the statements of administrative ideas involved in the competition speech should be listed one by one, and the administrative measures in the inaugural speech should also be analyzed in detail. Artistic means that the speech should be artistic and the language should be easy to understand. Sentences should not be too long, decorated too much, don't chew over words, conform to spoken English and have the characteristics of spoken English. At the same time, we should also pay attention to literary talent in order to suit both refined and popular tastes. If you want to make the speech convincing and appealing, you must analyze it calmly and have sincere and enthusiastic feelings.

2. The work objectives are the same.

Both the competition speech and the inaugural speech should put forward measures to show the policy objectives, and both require seeking truth from facts and being practical. Of course, the policy objectives and measures put forward in the campaign speech are a thought, which is relatively macro and rough, while the policy objectives and measures put forward in the inaugural speech are about to be implemented, which should be micro and concrete. Among them, the policy objectives and ideas of competitive speeches are based on a clear understanding of competitive positions. According to the responsibilities of the competitive positions and their actual abilities, the competitors will focus on their plans, ideas, measures, methods, goals and effects after taking office. The policy objectives and measures of the inaugural address are more concerned by leaders and the masses. It is necessary to have a macro advance plan for the work of the unit after taking office, so as to show that the incumbent has long-term planning and overall practical leadership ability; It is also necessary to have specific methods to solve practical problems, expected goals and inspiring index effects that really benefit the audience, so as to show their down-to-earth work style.

3. Same structural model

The structural patterns of campaign speeches and inaugural speeches are basically the same, and they are all composed of titles, titles and texts. Among them, the text includes opening remarks, text, conclusion and other parts. The main part is generally composed of three elements. For example, the main body of the competitive speech includes self-introduction, competitive conditions and policy ideas, and the main body of the inaugural speech includes work objectives, work attitudes and policy measures.

4. The writing requirements are the same.

The writing requirements of the competition speech and the inaugural speech are the same, that is, they all require:

(1) The momentum should be the voice. Give people a feeling of self-confidence and courage, and strive for the response and support of the audience.

(2) Attitude should be sincere and modest. Peaceful and polite, seeking truth from facts, clear and specific, try to let others know about themselves. However, it should be noted that when "showing yourself", the attitude should be sincere and frank, eloquent, and not boastful, boastful or lying.

(3) The language should be concise and powerful. Whether it is a competition speech or an inaugural speech, it is a good opportunity to promote yourself, but it must not be "wordy". You should express your thoughts and intentions in concise and powerful language, giving the audience a sense of shrewdness and neatness.

(4) Be confident in your heart. When you are confident, when you stand on the podium in front of everyone, you will take your time and show yourself with your best posture. Of course, self-confidence must be based on rich knowledge and experience. This self-confidence will become the strength of your successful competition or professional title and the driving force of your work.

5. Same expression

In order to achieve the purpose of accurate, concise, vivid and easy-to-understand language, they use rhetorical devices such as metaphor, parallelism and contrast, which are concise, accurate, vivid and humorous, concretize abstract truth and visualize conceptual things, so that the audience can understand and understand. They attach great importance to the discretion of language, and their expressions should be vivid, elegant and touching, at the same time, they should be sincere and credible, sincere in feelings and simple in style. Use plain language, don't talk big or empty words, don't miss the wrong words, and don't speak layman's words.

Second, the difference comparison.

1. Different writing purposes

The writing purpose of competitive speech is both single and prominent, aiming at competing for a certain position and success, that is, competitors fully display themselves through speeches, express themselves, sell themselves to the audience, find jobs suitable for them through competition, and show their talents. In order to achieve the goal of successful competition, the contestants should not only state their basic qualities and conditions for a certain position, but also focus on their outstanding advantages compared with other contestants, such as "no one has me, no one has me, no one has me, and no one is better than me". Inaugural address is a self-declaration made by the incumbent to the cadres and the masses when he takes up his new job, and it is also a formal appearance and statement to the audience, expressing the mood of the incumbent and his gratitude to the audience, and putting forward the work objectives and administrative measures of the incumbent. Its purpose is to fully show their sense of responsibility and dedication to their posts, so as to gain the trust and support of the audience, look to the future, issue a call, and inspire and inspire the audience. Through the speech, the incumbent strives to create a good image with the ability and determination to fulfill his post objectives in good faith, and win the hearts and minds of the people.

2. The specific function is different

Speech is a good form of face-to-face publicity, education, encouragement and communication, which plays a great role. "Those who drum up the world must keep their word". At a specific time and occasion, speaking in front of the audience often produces strong persuasion and appeal, which directly produces social effects. The specific functions of competition speech and inaugural speech are different. The main functions of competitive speech are: self-introduction, enhancing understanding, showing competitive advantages, innovative governance, showing ability, modesty and sincerity, and establishing image. Inaugural address is not widely used at present, but it plays an important role, mainly including: urging cadres to fulfill their promises, improving the quality of cadres, establishing work prestige, self-discipline and bridging.

3. The formation time is different

The writing of competitive recruitment speech was formed during the "competitive recruitment" position, and whether it can be successfully "hired" is still unknown (that is, the future is uncertain); The writing of inaugural address was formed after successful "competition" and "employment", and it is about to "take office". When I took office, I had already set my post and position (that is, I had set my future).
