If you are asked to say something and you have had no time to prepare a suitable response:
- Say the first idea that comes into your mind - for example, if someone asks you "What do you think about Chicago?" you might say, "It's a very windy city."
- Free associate to come up with as many things related to this idea as possible - "I was in Chicago coming across a bridge with my head down, and the wind was whipping all around me. I had to hold tightly onto my briefcase to keep it from being blown away."
- Expand this idea out into different categories - "Chicago is known for its wind, but it's also known for its sports teams, and the Sears Tower."
