Editor's Notes
(30mins - 1 hr) Reading exercises: Read some text contents from SlideShow 1
(30mins - 1 hr) Your boss has just told you that you need to work on your extemporaneous speaking. You don't know what that means, exactly, and I don't blame you; it's not a commonly defined concept. So let me explain. Extemporaneous speaking is speaking on-the-fly, impromptu. It's any situation where a client, colleague, or superior comes to you and asks you a question, oftentimes in front of a group. It's the Q&A session after a speech. It's a departmental meeting where the speaker suddenly turns to you and says, "Mary, can you speak more about this?" It's the type of speaking that makes a lot of people break out in a sweat, stammer, or want to run and hide. But really, there's no need to run or hide. ___ A group of 5-6 is ideal. All should be willing to participate; willing to take a turn speaking in front of the group. It's best to start off with positive comments on what the speaker did well and then head into suggestions for improvement.
Whenever you have to take down a message and check the spelling of the word, use the phonetic alphabet to check that you have got it right Letter Sound Phonetic Alphabet
