中壢英語國際演講會 Chungli Toastmasters Club

     It’s a Big day with many wonderful events for Chungli toastmasters club on July 17^th 2015. Our TME, Oscar Liu, is so talented because he hosted the meeting very well even this was his first time. The meeting included the interesting variety session: millionaire, professional officer duty reports for the coming year, beautiful previous president, Kate Chiu, delivering a speech as a forever partner, great event-matching table topic questions ---about leadership. We also happily had six guests with us this evening. Apart from that, Ron Hwang and Faylinn Su immediately decided to be our members even before the meeting started.

 At the beginning, our new and fresh president, Nai-Ling Liu, gave us the moral encouragement, THREE WISHES--- for Chungli Club ---1、We are happy . 2、We are progressing . 3. We enjoy servicing and helping people. YA! This is a supportive and helpful place to enrich your life and make your dream come true.

Speaking of the variety session, we played a game was about millionaire—The King of Knowledge. Jason prepared many knowledgeable questions. Everybody enjoyed himself/ herself in the game so much. We truly not only learn English here but also broaden our horizons. How about try it again here......

Being a wonderful team, let’s try our best!

VPE(vice president education)---Richard Shen/ Diego Huang/ Linlin Cheng/ Ilona Chuang

Richard used restaurant as a metaphor to explain the role of VPE. The job of VPE schedule members’ speeches and projects and serve education awards, speech contests and the mentor program.

For the part of Kate’s speech, she , as usual, gave us more to learn from her. Her speech was about how to give positive feedbacks. How to do it powerful? Three easy ways to remember the important tips--- 3Bs –

Be specific— Where they’ve done well? Be positive—Do it in a constructive way. Be timely— Do not wait! Say it at the time!

    We usually have exciting moment for each meeting time---table topics. Our master of this session today was Helen who did a great job to hold this part fun with many kinds of questions about leadership’s goals.

We had many speakers been chosen, such as: Jason-lose 10 kilograms; Griffy-build up his company persistently, Ron- to achieve his goal by practice, practice, practice to be able to communicate with his 2-month-old US granddaughter; Linlin-lucky to have her family and friends to make her dream to Spain come true, Derek- add some new goals, like learning English, knowing more people, and passing the exam; Mark-encounter the process to the goal is the learning cap, but now make progress a lot.

If we’d like to make real progress, we truly need some good advice, just like Kate said- 3Bs-be specific, positive and timely. Therefore, we need IEs for each speaker below.
