Highlights from July Meeting

  “Ask the experienced rather than learned.” It is an Arabic proverb. In Toastmaster’s meeting, there is full of opportunities to hear the story that the others experienced. Here below are the highlights of the July meeting.

Prepared Speech session

1st speaker: TM A.S.

Speech Title: Ears, Eyes and Heart

2nd speaker: TM T.F.

Speech Title: Fermented food

3rd speaker: TM M.A.

Speech Title: Inconvenient truth

It was a new style of speech. She spoke from the view of her dog, SAKURA. By showing the street pictures taken from low angle, she invited us to the dog’s world and explained the problems on the urban street that was hard to find from the view of human. Her voice was cute just like a puppy. It was a new way to enlighten the audience by using Zoom technology.
