<p>I know it completely defeats the purpose, but whenever we practiced the presentational speaking in class, I always managed to write out my entire 2 minute speech in the 2 minutes given to plan (plus some of the time during which we are listening to the audio source, most of that stuff is unnecessary detail anyway). By the time I got to the test, I was pretty good at getting exactly 2 minute’s worth of stuff written down. I really can’t think on my feet in Spanish.</p>
