We had a regular meeting attended by eleven members.
The meeting theme was “Vacation” presented by TM MK, the Toastmaster of the
Morning (TMOM), which was a timely subject to be considered!
Prepared Speech Session
It was a very first step for TM BS to deliver a prepared speech as a toastmaster. The first
speech called “icebreaker speech” is designed for a fresh member to introduce oneself
to connect with other members. TM BS successfully completed his first speech by
telling us that he has been addicted (or fascinated !) to public speaking since he visited
our club as a guest!
Followed by a freshman, one of the experienced toastmasters, TM HY had given his
speech inviting to his project called, Picturing our future. Members are invited to join a
three-month project to study climate change by using climate simulator. The result of
the study will be presented in November.
Table Topic Session
The table topic master, TM MT, conducted an interesting session, as is often the case.
We were to respond to his questions in two positions. It’s quite a challenge to switch
one’s position in a second from one to the another. However, it was a good training for
delivering an impromptu speech. TM EK won the best table speaker for his clear
explanation on two positions as well as a good integration of two positions in the end.
Evaluation Session
The first evaluator for a first speaker was conducted by TM BS’s mentor, TM SY. His
evaluation was a full of encouragement for a new member.
It always requires a courage to evaluate an experienced member, but in a toastmaster,
we’re to learn from each other. TM ZY kindly took a role of the evaluator for TM HY
and with his humorous and a precise evaluation led to win the best evaluator award!
