To be able to use language for an impromptu oral

• The educator will give you a topic.

• You have a few seconds to think about it.
• Then tell the class how you feel – in 1 minute.

• Impromptus are used to teach you to think on your feet.

TIPS:

• Take the operative words and work around those.
• You can also:

• try to create a pun by twisting the operative words around;
• tell a story which brings in your topic (the easiest to do);
• disagree with the topic;
• explain how the topic came about in the first place;
• make up a story around your topic (which means you can say anything !);
• waste time by repeating the topic – SLOWLY (even as a question, a statement, a command).
