Impromptu speech
An impromptu speech is given with little or
no preparation, yet almost always with some
advance knowledge on the topic. For example, if
called on to speak in class, a pupil might give a
short impromptu speech about a topic that was in
the assigned readings.
Tips for the Speaker (Impromptu Preparation) What do
you do if you are asked to speak at the last minute?

Make sure to plan an introduction and a conclusion. If

possible, take a few moments to think about what you want to
say to introduce the topic and have some way of concluding.
Make a few notes for yourself.
Consider the simple three-part outline of an Introduction,
Body, and Conclusion, and fit your ideas into that pattern.
 If you do not know what to say next, you can summarize and
paraphrase what you have just said, and then will probably be
ready to move on to the next topic.

you do if you are asked to speak at the last minute?

Remember that, in most situations, you will know more about the subject
than the audience. Usually you will not be called up to speak impromptu
about something you know nothing about, so you have probably spoken
about the general topic before or you probably have knowledge to share
with others.
Talk like you mean it. In other words speak with conviction. You are
explaining your ideas or knowledge and you are an authority.
 Relax!
Work with a partner. Take turns to talk about your preferred topic. Choose
from the following topics or make up your own. Think for 30 seconds
about what you will say on the topic. Speak to your partner.
Task 3: Make a Commercial

Get a bunch of things from your room or from your

bag and make a commercial about these items.
Show to the class a random product. It might be a
lotion, a perfume, or it could be anything. Present a
30 second to 1 minute commercial on this product.
Talk about why the product is so awesome and why
people should buy it.
