Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Impromptu speech involves speaking without preparation or a prepared script. As such, the speaker may be caught off guard or asked to speak on a topic they are not familiar with. However, this is an excellent opportunity to practice one's public speaking skills and hone the ability to think on their feet. Apologizing or responding negatively can detract from the speech and undermine the speaker's confidence. Therefore, students should embrace the opportunity and use it as a chance to improve their impromptu speaking abilities.
