Extended information:

There are four important forms of speech: reading speech, recitation speech, outline speech, and impromptu speech.

Read-from-read speech: also known as read-from-script speech. The speaker takes a pre-written speech, steps onto the podium, and reads it word for word to the audience. It is more suitable for use on important and serious occasions.

Recitation speech: also known as unscripted speech. The speaker writes a speech in advance and memorizes it repeatedly. After he has memorized it, he goes to the podium and delivers a speech to the audience without writing it. This speech method is more suitable for speech contests and beginner speakers.

Speech outline speech: also known as prompt speech. The speaker only writes the main content and hierarchical structure of the speech in the form of an outline, and uses it to deliver the speech without having to write it word by word in a speech style, which is convenient for on-the-spot performance and has a strong sense of reality.

Speech impromptu speech: A speech delivered impulsively on the spot without sufficient preparation by the speaker. It is the most difficult, demanding and most effective way of speaking.
