本日のベストスピーカーはNkさんに贈呈されました。二回連続のプリペアード・スピーカーとしての受賞、おめでとうございます!
あとがき:論評セッションが新鮮だと思いました。気付いた事は、人の論評に「乗っかる」事で、発言内容がどんどん洗練されていくことです。これはスピーカーにとっても良い事です。
通常例会ですと、プリペアード・スピーカー⇔論評者間の関係なのですが、関係性の矢印が放射線状に延びている感じです。
とても盛り上がった例会でした。スピーカーだけで無く、参加者の大部分が発言していたので、満足度が高かった会だと思いました。
English Speech Meeting Report
It is a regular meeting report!
First, an announcement of DCP (Distinguished Club Program) was held. DCP is the award that Toastmasters headquarter sends to the excellent club, and praise for members' manual progress, joining of new members and so on.
As the number of new members has increased dramatically in the last year, it seems that the part has also been evaluated. Mr Sb, VPE of the previous term, Thank you very much for your dedicated activities!
Today's regular meeting was held as English speech marathon. Seven speakers delivered a speech. Please make full use of growth opportunities.
Mz, the first speaker, said that "In order to be humble, we should learn new languages." Learning a new language requires various elements such as vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, so there is no time to be arrogant.
The second person Nk. talked about his experience when he suddenly was assigned as an interpreter in Kyoto. Members all laughed at an episode that "Due to differences between the structure of Japanese and English, the meaning has become reverse".
The third person Kr. talked about experiences cultivated within Toastmasters' 4 years. She was planning to get the best speaker by the time she completes the cc manual and succeeded, she has a strong willingness!
Ms Mt, the fourth person, is dealing with garbage disposal issues, so She told about her own experience and social problems. Mt is very photogenic because she is a big fan of Takarazuka.
Kr of the 5th person, talked about the four elements to succeed that He learned from the English exam before joining Toastmasters club. Last month He participated in Indian Toastmasters.
Os, the sixth person,’s speech is about his own "My Life Plan". Veteran Toastmaster Os has many places to learn such as how to put the pause, tempo and tone.
The seventh person Sb, explained the unknown function of the CL manual. Mr Sb always makes suggestions to improve our club. Also, I appreciate his speech in the 14th minute.
Today's best speaker was presented to Mr. Nk. Congratulations on winning twice in a row as a prepared speaker!
Postscript: I thought the evaluation session was fresh. What I noticed was by riding on other ’s evaluations, the quality of evaluations became refined more and more. This is also good for the speaker.
It was a very exciting regular meeting. Not only the speakers but most of the participants were continuously speaking, so I thought that it was a meeting where the satisfaction was high.
