impromptu speaking

[ruelski]

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.
