Your presence here indicates that you are willing to act as a subject for an experiment. This experiment istart of a thesis that is being done in the College of Communication Arts. Your scores will not count on your grade, but the usefulness of this research is dependent on your doing your best. In the following messages you are asked to fill in the blanks with the word that seems most appropriate to you. These messages have been carefully checked for mistakes, and if the right word is filled in, every sentence will be "good English" complete with punctuation. Each blank requires onc'word and only one word. Start work on the next page and work on "Impromptu Speaking" until thus is called. You will have ten minutes on message one. Do not go beyond the stop sign. work as rapidly as possible, but pay close attention to every clue that might suggest the "right word" or eliminate a "wrong word." You should try to get through the whole massage in the time allotted to take advantage of any easy blanks. If no word seems exactly right, GUESS. Ton minutes will also be allowed on the second message. IMPROMPTU SPEAKING Impromptu speaking often confused with extemporaneous , not only by students A; A also by dictionaries.
