Mind maps
A mind map is a way of organizing

information on a piece of paper. Usually it takes the form of an organic chart laid out on a large sheet of paper. Words and drawings are connected to one another on the page in various ways: by lines, by their position on the page relative to one another, and so on. Though the original format is rather narrow (Buzan, 2010), for our purposes mind maps also include any sort of pictorial or spatial representation of information on the page. This form of representing ideas taps into the way the mind associates and recalls information and can therefore be useful in helping us to organize and remember information.

Mind maps
Creating a mind map requires an understanding and analysis

of the incoming speech, and it is this that is so useful for interpreters. The very act of making yourself draw a mind map forces you to dissect the speech, and that in turn means you listen far more attentively than the normal listener. It will help you see that a speech is not just an uninterrupted stream of words but a deliberately ordered collection of chunks of information.
In drawing a mind map, you will create a visual image that shows
(1) an overview of the whole speech on a single page and
(2) how the different parts of the speech ﬁt together.

Слайд 5

Mind maps
It is a great analysis exercise! And once you’ve

got a mind map like this you’ll ﬁnd it relatively easy to recall most of the original speech from it.
But remember, you’re not trying to get all the details when you make a mind map. You’re trying to record only the outline of the speech.

Mind maps
Example (Tweddel 1)
The following speech was given on 14

September 2014 by Australian Ambassador to the Philippines Bill Tweddel at the Rotary Club of Manila, Philippines. In the speech, the Ambassador seeks to highlight the many links between Australia and the Philippines and their prospering relations.

Слайд 7

Mind maps
Over the last 50 years, Australia has attracted migrants

from all over the globe, in the process becoming one of the world’s most multicultural nations. While the majority of our earliest migrants were Europeans, these days our population includes a large proportion of Asian migrants, and a signiﬁcant number of African and Middle Eastern peoples.

Слайд 8

Mind maps
Migration to Australia has indisputably contributed to our diverse

demographic. Nearly a quarter of our 23 million people were born overseas – 1.7 million of them in Asia. China and India are our largest sources of migration, and ﬁve other Asian nations, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, South Korea and Vietnam, constitute our top 10 source countries.

The same speech by Tweddel could equally have looked

like this:

Слайд 13

Sections
When you ﬁrst hear a speech that you have been asked

to interpret consecutively, with or without notes, the speech will often seem like an uninterrupted stream of words and ideas. If we were to try to illustrate that on the page, you might get something like the following example. It’s rather daunting, isn’t it?

Слайд 14

Sections
Example
Good to see so many familiar faces. Australia today is a

stable, democratic and culturally diverse nation, with a skilled workforce and a strong, competitive economy. Over the last 50 years, Australia has attracted migrants from all over the globe, in the process becoming one of the world’s most multicultural nations. While the majority of our earliest migrants were Europeans, these days our population includes a large proportion of Asian migrants, and a significant number of African and Middle Eastern peoples.

Слайд 15

Sections
Migration to Australia has indisputably contributed to our diverse demographic. Nearly

a quarter of our 23 million people were born overseas – 1.7 million of them in Asia. China and India are our largest sources of migration, and five other Asian nations, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, South Korea and Vietnam, constitute our top 10 source countries. As our demography evolved, our economy also underwent important policy changes.

Слайд 16

Sections
Today, Australia has developed into an open, dynamic and highly productive

economy with considerable strengths, particularly in mining and agriculture, although the services and manufacturing sectors also playing a significant role. From the 1960s until the early 1980s, highly restrictive trade policies, inefficient public sector monopolies, low productivity and growth, and poor comparative economic performance resulted in a period of economic decline in Australia.

Слайд 17

Sections
Driven to become competitive domestically and internationally, our Government’s broad and

aggressive reform agenda resulted in enduring gains in our productivity and growth, and a resurgence in our ranking amongst developed countries.

Слайд 18

Sections
The ﬁrst thing we should be aware of when listening to

a speech is that it is not an uninterrupted and indivisible stream of words and ideas. We can and should break it up in our minds into more or less self-contained sections. Often a change of topic will signal a new section. Look at what can be done with this speech:

Слайд 23

Sections
Driven to become competitive domestically and internationally, our Government’s broad and

aggressive reform agenda resulted in enduring gains in our productivity and growth, and a resurgence in our ranking amongst developed countries.

Слайд 24

Sections
Suddenly the speech is much more accessible. We have ﬁve

sections. Two introductory sentences that are sections in their own right, not much connected to anything. Then section 3 addresses immigration to Australia as a whole. In section 4, the speaker makes the connection between the subject – immigration to Australia – and his audience of Asian business people. And in the last he moves from immigration to the economy.

Слайд 25

Sections
This simple exercise can demystify many a speech!
Note that the sentence

in bold could just as easily be the ﬁrst sentence of section 4 as the last sentence of section 3. The speaker is using it to transition from one part of the speech to the next (by linking demography – the previous subject – to economics – the next one).

Слайд 26

Sections
Often a speaker will not simply abruptly change tack in their

speech but rather create a connection between two subjects in this way. So it doesn’t matter whether you break before or after this sentence but simply that you recognize the break at this point.

Слайд 27

Sections
When we come to taking notes later on, marking these breaks

between sections of a speech will be one of the cornerstones of our technique. You can pick any symbol to mark these breaks – one might be //, which school teachers and proofreaders often use to suggest a new paragraph. And if you do this same exercise on a printed transcript instead of on a screen, you can use this symbol straightaway (Figure 7).

Mini summaries
Summarizing is a very important skill for conference interpreters.

And even though we are not usually asked to summarize, we can summarize very well. Summarizing is an exercise in analysis; it’s a question of deciding what is very important and what is less important. And that is going to serve us well when note-taking and interpreting consecutively (and interpreting simultaneously).

Слайд 30

Mini summaries
A speech is divided up into sections, and copied it

into a two-column table like the following one. A very brief summary of the main message of each section of a speech is noted in the right-hand column rather than as in the preceding structure. Look at the following example.
