In general, there is no clear structure for a table topic speech, since the topics vary from absolutely absurd to very serious. Thus, the following 10 tips, as presented in the official toastmasters website, give you a general perspective on the content of your speech:
1 Don’t Panic. If you can, just stop caring about Table Topics. Remember, everyone in the audience has been in your position, has probably dried up at some point and is willing you to do well, so you don’t need to worry about their reaction. 2 Buy Time. Give yourself time for your nerves to die down and for you to think of something to say. Sit at the back of the room and walk slowly to the front. Acknowledge the audience and repeat the question. If you need to, just talk for a while about something vaguely related to the theme, or even about something totally unrelated: Sooner or later, inspiration will come. 3 Go with the first little idea that comes into your head.
