Scenario:
You're at a friend's birthday party. They've asked you to say a few words about them. You didn't prepare anything, and you're a little nervous!
Speech:
"Hey everyone, I just wanted to say a few words about [friend's name]. I've known them for [briefly mention how long] and they're honestly one of the best people I know. They're always [mention a positive quality, e.g., up for an adventure, there for you, making people laugh]. I remember one time [share a brief anecdote about your friend that highlights their personality]. [Friend's name], you're a true friend, and I'm so grateful to have you in my life. Happy birthday!"
Key features of an impromptu speech:
* Unplanned: There's no script or notes.
* Spontaneous: The speaker relies on their immediate thoughts and feelings.
* Informal: The language is likely to be more conversational than a prepared speech.
* Short: Impromptu speeches tend to be brief, focusing on a few key points.
Remember: While an impromptu speech might not be perfectly polished, it can be genuine and heartfelt. It's okay to be a little nervous, just focus on your friend and what you want to say about them.
