Hello sir, how're you? I hope you're doing ok. I was unable to thank you the last time I inquired and you were able to answer my inquiry brilliantly! Thank your very much, really appreciate it sir! Just want to ask you about impromptu speaking in English. I have learned about PREP or Point, Reason, Example, Point way of effective speaking. I want to know your own way or method of speaking, if you have one... Thanks... Ruel
Feel free to make corrections on this.... ;)

I’m doing fine, Ruel, and you’re most welcome!
I’m not familiar with the PREP formula for impromptu speaking, but I looked it up and found that it’s a strategy employed by members of Toastmasters International to create the illusion of confidence when speaking onstage, as follows:
P: Point—State your point to the question.
R: Reason—State a reason why you raised your point.
E: Example—Give an illustration which supports your above-mentioned case.
P: Prep—Which leads us to the next point.
Singapore’s Chris Ng Wai Chung offers a detailed explanation of PREP in the NUS Toastmaster’s Club website. Simply click this link to check it out (http://nustm.wordpress.com/2006/12/09/thinking-on-your-feet-a-guide-to-impromptu-speaking/).
