Your textbook asserts that extemporaneous speaking is usually the best form of delivery that a speaker can choose

Using examples from your textbook and examples from your own experience and/or critical thinking skills, explain (and provide illustrative examples) speaking circumstances that might make extemporaneous speech impossible or very difficult to use.
What will be an ideal response?


The best answers will:
1. define the four delivery styles discussed in the text (extemporaneous, impromptu, manuscript, memorization). Outstanding answers will also explain why extemporaneous speech is usually the best choice.
2. describe circumstances under which one of the other memory styles is preferable. Such answers might include:
• Impromptu, for when someone asks a person to speak on the spot during a meeting
• Manuscript, for highly emotional events or for events that require extremely precise language
• Memorization, for competitive speech
3. provide two or more examples of such situations. Possible answers include but are not limited to wedding toasts, eulogies, political speeches, business presentations.
