spontaneous – suddenly happen without preparing or thinking about it

eg. I think table topics is important because it is spontaneous

I read a book about the presentation skills these days, and the book concluded 6 key words on how to deliver a good speech. First passion, if the speaker has passion then the audience will be influenced by heart and people like people who has passion ; second story, try to use story to express you ideas and thoughts, because it’s vivid and easy for the audience to follow; third natural, be relax and behave naturally as you really are; forth newness, pick something unfamiliar with most people, and it’s more attractive; fifth simplification, express yourself as simple as you can, since the audience will easily lose attention if your speech cost too much time; at last, humor, no one doesn’t like humor, and it will make your speech funny and more popular.
