Here is a brief public speaking exercise built around the
theme of distinguishing two things. The main purpose of the exercise is to
illustrate some principles of organization and can be used as a regular
prepared/researched speech or as an impromptu speech. For this exercise, the
speeches should be organized in either of these two ways.
