- may be rattle and disorganized
 Extemporaneous Speech
-outlined speech; may sound like it is delivered "off the cuff" as it were with
hardly any preparation because it sounds so spontaneous

he/she wants to make

rearrange the order of the speech's points

According to occasion
 Introduction of speech

product

• Presentation of speech
Presentation speech is used for presenting an award, a prize or a gift
gift
• Acceptance of speech
An acceptance speech is delivered when receiving a prize, honor, or
a gift at an awards ceremony. It is a reply to a presentation speech.
When an individual receives a kind of award or prize, an acceptance
speech is given. Here, the speech usually comprises the individual
sharing praises for people who supported him/her to reach this far
and genuinely feel thankful and/or appreciative of the award.
Welcome speech

- The goal of the welcome speech or welcome address is to receive

and greet the audience. The main difference between this speech
and the speech of introduction is that this kind of speech focuses on
the audience, not on the upcoming guest speaker (which is the focus
of introduction speech). A welcome speech is given to bring people
or group of people together. Its purpose is to introduce formally an
individual or group, explain who they are, where they came from and
what they plan to do.
