are called to speak at the spur of the moment
because you are expected to be knowledgeable
about the subject.

Strategies in
Organizing And
Delivering an
Impromptu Speech
17
 A. Past, Present, Future
Strategy
Past
Example: I was not comfortable in making impromptu
speeches because I could not think right away; maybe it
was because of nervousness and lack of time to prepare.

Present
Example: I am enjoying it because I constantly practice
and keep on exposing myself to any speaking situation.

Future
Example: I look forward to teaching others how to
survive impromptu speech situation.

 2. Point-Reason-Example /
Explanation-Point Strategy
Point I love Facebook.
Reason I have two reasons for this: one, it helps me easily
reconnect with old friends; and, two, I am updated
on the happenings around me.
Through Facebook, I am able to contract my old
Example/ friends from other countries and reminisce about
Explanation wonderful memories. I am glad to reconnect with
friends even if it’s only through online means. Also,
through posts on Facebook, I learn about the current
events in the country-a fact which has a bearing on
my role as a citizen of this nation.

Point Facebook, indeed, is a useful social network site.

That is why I love it.
19
3. Opening, Rule of Three,
Clincher Strategy
Every time I see homeless families, it breaks my heart.
Opening That is why I try to do at least three little things to help
them.
• First, I feature them in my writings which I submit to
editors for publication. I highlight their sad and bad
experiences living in the streets and their dreams and
Rule of aspirations in life.
Three • Second, I actively participate in organizing and
facilitating livelihood programs for these families.
• Finally, I join different nonprofit organizations in
campaigns and awareness activities against poverty.
These three are my baby steps toward achieving my
Clincher vision of helping homeless people and freeing this nation
from the bondage of poverty.
20
In some cases, you may find yourself
unaware or uninterested with the
topic. These are the following
strategies that can help you address
the problem according to
Toastmaster Craig Harrison (2010)

21
 A. Bridging
 This entails building a connection between what you do know
and what you do not know.
TOPIC You are asked about your reaction on the conflict in Russia
PROBLEM You have no knowledge about the existing conflict in
Russia because you do not follow them.

SOLUTION Find a way to bridge what you don’t know and what you
do know.
“I would imagine the conflict in Russia to be like a conflict
RESPONSE in my own family. The following are some steps that I
observed in patching up the conflict, which, in a micro
level, may be considered by the Russian government…”
22
 B. Reframing
 This means rephrasing or redefining the topic into something that you want to talk about.
This usually occurs if you think the topic is inappropriate or it is not meant for you.
Topic You are asked to compare two forms of government: democratic and
parliamentary.

Problem You think that it is not right for you because you are a science major.

Solution Find a pair of anything that you think is worth comparing. You can
compare natural science and social science in terms of concepts and
processes, or computers and humans in terms of capacity and
efficiency.

Response “This question reminds me of the complexities in differentiating two

concepts in science. Just like democratic and parliamentary, these
two differ in terms of concepts and processes…”

23
C. Playing Devil’s Advocate
 This refers to you standing on the opposite side.

You are asked whether or not the government should allocate a

TOPIC bigger budget for national defense.

PROBLEM You have no idea about the defense system and you are more
knowledgeable with education.

SOLUTION Say no to defense and yes to education.

RESPONSE “Instead of allocating more money to national defense, why not

allot it to education? Let me tell you why education should be
prioritized…”
