KMUSTC Meeting No. THREE!!

March 16th, 2008

Today, due to a fever, President Jessica was unable to attend, so VP-PR Lawrence served as the Acting-President. The Toastmaster of the Evening is the extremely capable and always cheerful Doris Liu.

The Manual Speech Speakers were:
Maurice Lee C1
Lawrence Huang C1
Ruby Lin C1

The Evaluation session master was Kathy Shih, leading her team of evaluators:
Jonathan Chen
Ted Tu
Tina Wen
respectively evaluating the speakers in the order above.

Everyone, congratulations on a job well done!

There was also an education orientation on the various roles involved in conducting a successful Toastmasters meeting by Lillian Tseng. Thank you Lillian!
Her powerpoint presentation can be found here:

The Table Topics Session today composed of four brave contestants making speeches about the theme of "Time", hosted by session master Jenny Hung. She is also a fellow student of KMU, who is part of ALEmax since last year!
The questions were:
If you were given 1 extra hour a day to have 25 hours a day, how would you use your time?
If you were given 1 less hour a day to have 24 hours a day, how would you rearrange your schedule?
If you have a time machine to travel back to the past, what time of your life would you return to and why?
If you have a time machine to travel back to the past, what would you do differently?
The speakers were:
蘇緯哲
林中一
Emily Wu
Maurice Lee
Because the speakers were not decided previously, Jenny called out random names from a list-which was both a cruel and exciting method to conduct Table Topics! Thanks to those that volunteered and especially to those that braved the challenge!

Ah Counter for this meeting was Emily Wu while the Timer was Sunny Chen. Thanks to both who participated!

The Grammarian was Tiffany Taulton who did a great job of pointing out common mistakes made by the speakers. She also made constructive comments about the importance of speech organization-whether using a theme, a chronological outline, or an outline by topic that is emphasized in the introduction.

A move was made during the meeting to alter the time for our next meeting due to the long weekend as well as midterms beginning of April.

Due to the midterm exams early April, the next meeting will be held on Sunday, 3/30/2008, again in NB603 at 7 PM sharp! PLEASE BE ON TIME!

See you there!!

Area D3 Speech Contest! NB603!!

Saturday 3/16/2008!
There was both a prepared speech contest and a table topic contest. All 5 clubs sent one representative into each category, totally 10 contestants in all!

For KMUSTC, John Huang, our sponsor and mentor, delivered a prepared speech titled,
"The Precious Gift". Congratulations John, for winning third place in the Prepared Speech Contest!

For KMUSTC, Lawrence Huang, the VP of Public Relations, was the Table Topics speaker. Today, the Table Topics question posed to the contestants was:
If you had the power to improve Taiwan immediately, what would you do?
Congratulations Lawrence, for winning the second place in the Table Topics Contest!

The top three winners of the contest was awarded a certificate, while the top two speakers in each category will represent Area D3 to attend the Division D Contest in 成功大學醫學院 on March 29th, 2008!!

KMUSTC Meeting No. TWO!!!

March 2nd, 2008!

Today we had our first in club Table Topics contest. For those of you who don't know, Table Topics is the Toastmaster equivalent of impromptu speech. The speaker is asked a question, and he/she will answer by making a speech 1 minute to 2 minutes and 30 seconds in length to the audience.

Time to prepare? The time it takes to walk from your seat to the podium!
Out of the three questions, one was chosen for ALL contestants:
If you could be an animal, what animal would you be?

The other two questions that were prepared but not chosen were:
If you could travel back in time and talk to yourself when you were ten years old, what would you say?
If you could give a gift to the one you loved most, what would you give?
