Introduction: impromptu speech is very important to each of us. In fact, our daily life is full of opportunities for impromptu speeches anytime and anywhere. The following are the impromptu speech skills I brought to you, hoping to help you.

For example, after getting up in the morning, mom asks you to attend an activity. Maybe you will make an impromptu speech that you don't want to attend. Or, if the child wants to play one game and you want to play another, you should also make a convincing impromptu speech. When you get a phone call from a classmate who can't give a speech at noon, you should also make an impromptu speech to persuade and encourage him to attend the speech. Therefore, there are good opportunities for impromptu speeches everywhere, which also shows its importance. After training, everyone can confidently handle impromptu speeches and perform an organized, logical and entertaining impromptu speech. `

Nevertheless, can each of us really learn the correct impromptu speech skills? The answer is not necessarily! Because, indeed, there are still many people who are afraid of the road, have no confidence in speaking, or have no logic in content, or even shoot birds at random, have no clue and are not easy to convince. In fact, the impromptu question-and-answer speech is also skillful and not difficult. Anyone who knows the main points or tricks can become a skilled impromptu speaker. Perhaps, we can't predict the questions to be asked, but we can prepare the answers in advance. We don't know when we will be invited to speak a few words, but we can prepare in advance. However, it is possible for us to learn many important skills in advance to deal with impromptu speeches and often practice them to become impromptu speakers.

What are the important skills of impromptu speech? There are four main points in the impromptu speech in just one or two minutes. Let's describe them below:

First of all, the structure of the speech:

Just like other speeches, short impromptu speeches should be organized in order to produce logical speeches and be easily accepted by people. The structure of impromptu speech should include:

(1) Opening remarks:

1, attract the attention of the audience? Through simple body movements or voice changes, the effect can be achieved.

Of course, these actions must be related to the theme.

2. Throw out what you want to say in the simplest way.

(2) Contents:

Because time is limited, whether it is a question with a positive or negative answer or a narrative impromptu speech, you can only use one argument, but you should use one or three reasons or supporting materials to support your argument.

(3) Conclusion: Finally, summarize what has been said in the content, emphasize your point of view as the conclusion, and then end your speech with a smile and a nod.

Second, the five steps of impromptu question and answer:

When you accept an impromptu question from the host, you must remember the following five steps in addition to being calm, in order to answer calmly.

(1) Listening: Most excellent impromptu speakers know the importance of listening, because listening can provide you with answers to some questions and know how to respond. More importantly, you will not have the dilemma of answering irrelevant questions because of misunderstanding. It is very important to listen attentively. Be careful not to be influenced by distractions before listening, so as not to add unnecessary topics when responding. Listening carefully has the following three advantages:

1, Respect: You pay attention to what others say, and others will pay attention to what you say.

2. Ready-made dialogue: You can apply what others said to what you answered.

3. aim at the target and answer; After listening carefully, you can improve the chances of answering the question correctly.

(2) Pause: Coca-Cola once had an advertisement saying: Pause is for preparation. ? This famous saying also applies to impromptu speeches. If you have a short pause before speaking, you can have a chance to update and enrich your mind to think about how to respond to questions. Usually, the audience doesn't want the speaker to rush to the stage to answer questions without a clue, so they won't mind your short pause. Pause, in addition to giving you time to organize your structure, you can also use the pause time to make a smile and nod, indicating that you have heard the question. A short pause is better than sending it out? Hmm? Huh? Or? y？ Do you know? The sound is much better.

(3) Confirmation: Just as a pause can give you extra time to organize your answers, confirmation can also help you prepare your answers. Repeating the questions you hear aloud can give brain cells more time to absorb the meaning of the questions and provide you with clear ideas on how to respond.

In addition, we often misunderstand the meaning of the question. If you repeat it, you can also confirm whether the question is correct. Impromptu question and answer is not to train your listening, but to test your emergency thinking ability. So you are allowed to ask questions repeatedly and confirm them, just like you can also check the question notes, but many contestants ignore this fact.

Answer: after everything is ready, you can calmly say one that can make

The organized and logical answers surprised the audience. Because time is limited, only one or two minutes. As mentioned above, the speech should be organized. When you want to express your views on the content, you can only focus on one key point and use supporting materials to assist. In fact, the biggest challenge for impromptu speakers is that they can only tell the most basic data. This is the most difficult, because most people don't know how to choose and control, and even continue to amoy, and talk from point A to point Z for a long time. So it's important to get to the fifth point now.

We are often held hostage in the meeting room because the speaker doesn't know how to control time. This is a very painful thing. So remember, when you have said what you want to say, you don't need to elaborate. Just re-emphasize the main points quickly, then smile at the audience, end the speech and return to your seat.

Third, the choice of answering strategies:

Generally speaking, there is almost no way for us to prepare answers to impromptu questions and answers in advance, except to keep interested in current news and think about some ideas and pay attention to the surrounding living environment. However, there are many strategies for answering questions. These strategies can help you not be eliminated quickly in impromptu speech.

(a), express a single point of view:

Usually, for an impromptu question, only one point can be expressed in response, and of course there must be a supporting data to explain or support it. Generally speaking, only one supporting data is needed to answer a yes-no question, but more supporting data may be needed to describe a question (not a yes-no question). There are several reasons for agreeing or disagreeing with an important concept or idea.

(2), describe the reason and result:

Some questions are suitable to be answered in causal form. At this time, we can first explain what happened (such as the prevalence of lung cancer), then discuss its causes (first-hand smoke and second-hand smoke), and then describe its results (long-term hospitalization and high mortality).

(3) Divide the theme into several parts:

Divide the big problem into several small parts and discuss them one by one. For example, the theme of how to reduce crime can be divided into three reasons related to crime, namely legal reasons, social reasons and educational reasons, and then discuss how to reduce crime separately.

(4) Describe the past, present and future:

If the question involves consideration of time, it can be discussed separately according to time. For example, the topic of company development can be discussed separately according to the past, present and future, with the best effect.

Fourth, the taboo of impromptu speech:

When answering questions, be calm and confident, and use clear and appropriate words, so as to be perfect. But there are also many taboos to keep in mind, so as not to lose your spirit. take for example

(1) No need to apologize:

Many times, the speaker thinks that his answer is not perfect or his performance is not good, so there is no need to apologize politely. It is appropriate to spend time on a short pause. Repeatedly asking your questions can stabilize your mood and avoid misunderstanding, but it is annoying to take the time to apologize or make excuses. For example, after making a perfect impromptu speech, say: OK. I'm finished? Sorry, I can't find more words to tell you? .. I hope I'm not interrupting. ?

This way of ending is very disappointing.

② Don't talk nonsense:

When you are forced to improvise an answer, it is easy to fall into a meaningless situation, you will repeat the old argument, you will add a new argument and return to the original point, and so on. In fact, the most logical way to package a conversation is to go back to the original point of view, reiterate the original point of view, and be brief and to the point. The Greek philosopher Dionysus once said a very wise sentence: the content of a speech is better than silence, otherwise you should keep silent. ?

(3) Don't bluff:

Experienced impromptu speakers know that bluffing speeches or answers are dangerous. The answer should be faithful, not invented. If you really don't know how to answer, you can speak freely. Ask some questions to show your interest. At this time, someone must be more enthusiastic about trying to publish his impromptu question and answer skills! Opportunities for impromptu questions and answers or impromptu speeches are very common, and we also make many impromptu speeches every day. If we can all understand the response, we must have a good structure so as to be organized and make the key points easy for the listener to absorb. If we can all understand the answer, then we should remember five steps, namely, listening, pausing, confirming, answering and ending, so as to answer the question calmly, correctly and confidently. If, before we can understand the response, we can know several strategies to answer, and then we can say a satisfactory statement like the right medicine. If we can all understand the three taboos of impromptu speech before responding, that is, no apology, no nonsense and no bluffing, we can avoid the disappointing dilemma. Finally, remember, practice often and remember.

I believe that every Toastmasters member can learn from failure, accumulate all experience and become the best impromptu speaker.
