* * * * * *
Note:
- This is another impromptu speech delivered for the 1st Batch of Speechcraft of Filcom-IT
- This batch would eventually become members of the Filcom-IT Toastmasters Club
- 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, division level, and was the 2nd place winner in the Quick Wit Marathon contest.
- Below is the close approximation on the outline of the speech
