Each student will give a short speech prepared in advance and another improvised in just a few minutes. Variety types of speech , stated from the start of the classics of rhetoric , the issue of adaptation to context. Situations where we are called to take the word in public can be extremely varied: from receptions and dinners, celebrations and funerals , political and academic debates meetings at exhibitions and book launches .
