Note:
- This was delivered as an impromptu speech, hence there was no prepared speech script
- Unlike my other impromptu advance speeches where I was using visual aid, this time there was none.
- The outline of my speech is shown below
- Personally, I do not suggest delivering impromptu advance speeches unless you have wide experience to do so. Note that this speaker has won several awards in Table Topics contest in club level, area level and division level.
