We had a special event, in-house speech contest.

This is held once a year, speech competition begins with club contests and winners compete upward through the area, division, district, regional and international.

 

YTMC is normally conducts the meeting in English, however, we have both English and Japanese at the contest.

There are 4 contestant in English, 2 in Japanese.

I should not mention the details of the contest since some of them proceeds to upper stream but each of them made a great speech.

Two each for both English and Japanese advanced to the area 52 contest which will be held on March 7th. 

 

Congratulations four of us and all the best!

All the best!

 

TMOD (ToastMaster Of the Day) role was taken by TM M, that was the first attempt for him.

He did a wonderful job to facilitate the meeting even he faced some troubles in that meeting.

Also, he prepared to make participants fun, Fantastic.

 

Table Topics Session was conducted by TM K.

He used this session to make new members understand the toastmasters meeting roles since we acquired 11 new members in half a year.

New members expressed worries at taking particular roles, experienced ones give tips and advices to them.

I think it is a good idea to use time effectively since we have many members who want to speak out, good job!

 

All 4 prepared speeches were interesting.

TM O who became our member from the last meeting performed an ice breaker speech, she expressed the reason why she decided to join toastmasters.

TM IH made a speech about streaming drama she is into, she succeeded in convincing us to see it by acting a scene from that.

TM IA told an experience in air travel with humor.

TM IM tried to introduce a blockbuster movie “Demon Slayer” however, it is regrettable that the speech was postponed due to network trouble at speaker side. We are expecting the next opportunity.

 

The meeting came to a successful conclusion as always.

Everyone helped TM M to make a smooth process, guests were enjoyed like us.

 

The next meeting is our in-house speech contest, am looking forward to seeing wonderful speeches.

See you soon!
