ABSTRACT
Although it is true that some people seem to have a natural gift for speaking well without preparation, do not be misled into thinking that you cannot improve your skill at impromptu speaking. As with other skills, improvement is achieved by practice and by suitable exercises. Exercises take time and for the first of the exercises to be described you will need to allocate half an hour or so of your valuable time. The good news is that two further exercises are then described and these will not occupy any of your useful time.
