Speaking with little or no time to prepare: an unexpected interview question, being asked your view in a meeting, or a toast you didn’t know you’d give. The skill is having a simple shape ready and staying calm enough to use it, and it grows with short, regular practice.
Up to two minutes. Choose one minute, a minute and a half or two minutes before you start, and aim to finish between the green and red lights, the same as an answer at a speaking club. After red you have 30 seconds to finish your sentence, then the clock stops by itself.
Keep talking about the question itself, or pause and start with one simple point. Recovering is part of the skill you’re practising.
A simple shape helps: make your point, give a reason, tell one short example, then come back to your point. If an answer really goes wrong, you can start over before you save it.
