So today was a meeting for impromptu and speaking. We practiced the art of thinking fast, and communicating our thoughts. We have practiced impromptu with different random topics.
A thing to know about competition day: The impromptu section is part of the speech section of the grading. So if you have a bit of trouble in impromptu, your prepared speech can help you!
The topics will be a bit more serious also. But, you probably will still be able to enjoy yourself!
For impromptu, please try to practice at home. Practice in front of a mirror. Hopefully, you're reading this update when you have maybe 15 minutes of spare time. And actually, one impromptu only takes about 4 minutes. Get your thinking strategies down at home. Then, when you get to school, you would work out your nervousness and staying calm and presenting yourself. That sounds like a plan! (:
For Topics, I just found this out today.
1. Go to demidec.com. Log in.
2. Click "Download Files".
3. Filter it to 2009. Filter it to SPEECH.
4. Then look for Three Category Impromptus. And they give you many many topics. Joy!
Otherwise, you can do "the effects of ________" and just pick a random thing. And impromptu it. Then, do it in front of your brother! Your Sister! Your dog! Time yourself.
There's supposed to be a meeting tomorrow at lunch tomorrow. No afterschool meeting.
Yup!
