How to practise

  1. 1

    Generate, do not browse

    The point of a random topic is that you did not choose it. Take the first one you get — scrolling for an easy topic defeats the exercise.

  2. 2

    Give yourself a short prep

    Fifteen to thirty seconds is enough to pick a position and one example. Longer prep turns impromptu speaking into a mini presentation.

  3. 3

    Speak out loud, every time

    Thinking through an answer silently feels productive but trains a different skill. Say it out loud, ideally while recording.

Recommended answer structure

PREP

Best for: most impromptu questions

  1. 1Point
  2. 2Reason
  3. 3Example
  4. 4Point again

State your answer, give one reason, prove it with an example, then repeat your answer. The default structure for almost any unexpected question.

Example answer to “Should everyone learn to cook?”

  1. PointYes — I think everyone should learn at least five basic meals.
  2. ReasonBecause cooking gives you control over your health and your budget.
  3. ExampleWhen I moved out, learning to cook cut my food spending almost in half.
  4. Point againSo yes: five meals, and you are independent for life.
