Q: Are there any interesting or good topics for public speaking competition in three minutes?

A: Good question! Almost anything can be a speech topic. High school speech competitions have an event called impromptu. The students draw 3 slips of paper with either a noun, quote, or other phrase or idea and pick one. They then have 1 minute to compose a 2 to 4 minute speech. Just use your imagination and see what you come up with. Happy speaking!
