English speech is an important part of English learning, with strong cultural, communicative, and artistic characteristics. In the context of cultural integration, English speech also serves as a dispensable tool for effective communication with groups from different cultural backgrounds. Cultivating high-quality foreign language talents with global perspective has become an urgent task in foreign language teaching. The purpose of this article is to enhance the speaker's cross-cultural thinking ability, thereby effectively disseminating the domestic culture. It also aims to explore reasonable methods of improving English speech preparation, layout, citing examples, themes, thus enhancing resonance with the audience and providing effective reference for the teaching and learning of English speech.
