Week 8: Presentation 4: Impromptu Speech Overview
Impromptu Speech
Your last presentation is a short speech (2 to 4 minutes) that should demonstrate your mastery (or something close to it) of public speaking. Presentational aids are optional for this speech, but are not required.

You may use this opportunity to try using the impromptu delivery style, rather than the extemporaneous. There will be many moments in your work career, starting with the actual job interview, where critical thinking on one’s feet will be required. The impromptu delivery style is good practice for these moments, when you are asked to report at a meeting or have to speak spontaneously about work experience or what you can contribute to a certain company, position, team, and so forth. Impromptu speaking requires the same skills of organization that you would use in an extemporaneous speech, but most of it is delivered with little or no opportunity for practice ahead of time. You have enough speaking experience now under your belt to give it a try if you wish.

Here are sample questions that may be used if you want to try the impromptu speech.

How would you spend lottery winnings?
What charity or cause would you support?
If you were able to travel to a time or place in history, where would you go?
What is one challenge you have faced?
What is your favorite book, video game, television show, or song?
Where would you like to take a vacation?
What is a current event that interests you?
Whom do you admire?
What was your most embarrassing moment?
What is your dream job?
What is the worst or best job that you have ever had?
Whatever topic you select, try to relax and have fun with this speech. It’s the last one, and you have come a long way; show me what you can do.

No outline is required for this speech.

Where I Would Like to Take a Vacation

Good morning ladies and gentlemen!! I would like to start by introducing myself to you. I am Doe Joe, and I take pride in adventure. Without further ado, I would like to go straight to my topic, which is “where I would like to take a vacation”. I know that by now most of you are thinking about flashy places like Miami, Florida, and so forth, but let me tell you that none of these is in my mind. I am thinking about Africa, and Zanzibar to be specific! Why Zanzibar? Probably, this is the question that most of you here are asking themselves. Well, I will not beat about the bush, but I will tell you five reasons why I consider Zanzibar a top destination for my vacation.

Yes, about two weeks ago, my friends and I were having a discussion about top tourist destinations with a perfect blend of cultural mix. Well, it did not come as a surprise when two of my friends mentioned Zanzibar. If any of you wants to take a vacation to a place rich in culture, then Zanzibar is definitely one of the best choices. Zanzibar undoubtedly mirrors a cultural mix of individuals that emerged from the ages of trade relations with various countries including Africans, Europeans, Indians, Arabs and Persians. This list is long and it may take me the whole day to finish! This takes me to the second reason why I would choose Zanzibar over all other places for a vacation. Ladies and gentlemen, talk about vibrant culture and fascinating history! Well, Zanzibar is your remedy! This magnificent holiday destination is specially steeped in vibrant culture and rich history. Sounds amazing? Well, I want to bring to your notice that this archipelago or as some of you may call it, an extensive group of island, has been inhabited for a period of over 20,000 years. I know this sounds crazy, but I want to add that the position of Zanzibar has made it a major port. Just pay a visit to this beautiful destination and you will learn more concerning its intriguing history. And if all this is not enough for anyone to consider visiting this place, then let me add the third reason why I prefer Zanzibar as the ultimate destination for my vacation. Wow!! Think about scenic and pristine beaches! Well, then Zanzibar is on the top of the list. This splendid island offers pristine, as well as scenic beaches and this, without any doubt, makes any visitor to get even comfier. It’s not about one or two, or even three beaches, but a range of beaches from which visitors can choose. These beaches are not only many, but are also exquisitely fabulous and clean. I have heard about this from most of my friends who have been to this uniquely special place!

Ladies and gentlemen, if these reasons are not enough to convince any of you to consider visiting Zanzibar for a vacation, then no reason in this planet will. As I conclude, I just want to thank of all you for paying attention to my talk. Even as I leave the floor, I want to stress that I cannot wait to visit Zanzibar and enjoy the serene lagoons, relax by the beach, go surfing and explore the captivating surroundings in this place. Thank you once more!!!
