Impromptu means “spur of the moment.” You give an impromptu speech when you are called on
without any notice. Most of your everyday speaking—at home, school,
and on the job—is impromptu.

Tips Know the subject: Ask yourself, “What do I
already know about the topic?” Think about the best way to approach the
subject. Series of events (chronological order)? Description of a place or thing? Prioritize facts or ideas according to level of
importance?

“Think on your feet.” Open with a statement that gives your main
opinion or main idea. Back up your opinion with supporting ideas. Stay on the subject. Be brief. End with a summary of your opinion

No apologies! No one expects an impromptu speech to be
perfect, planned, or well-prepared. Do not apologize or feel timid about your
lack of preparation. Think confident, and you will be confident.
