Toastmaster

After 3 semesters, I’ve finally attained my ‘Competent Communicator’ rank in Toastmaster. I’ve learned a lot of public speaking skills from the great speaker and it’s been fun. I started as a shy person in the club until now I dare to volunteer to speak anytime. I felt a great change in myself.

Somehow I feel that achieving ‘Competent Communicator’ in Toastmaster is same as achieving black belt 1st-DAN in Taekwondo-it’s just the beginning of a new chapter in my life. There are lots more to learn. I recall all my previous speeches:

1. The Ice Breaker – Silent Stump?
I speak about how sports have turned me from an introvert person to a confident me.

2. Organize Your Speech – Sleepless Night
I talk about my experience as the group leader in Design Bureau of Chinese Cultural Night. The tiredness and frustration at the beginning that ended with joy and happiness.

3. Get to the Point – River Conservation
Well, environmental awareness =)

4. How to Say It – The Importance of Sports
You can tell by looking at the title!

5. Your Body Speaks – The Sunshine Joy
I shared my wonder Outward Bound School experience with them.

6. Vocal Variety – A Day Spent in the Beach
A story I made to allow me to use lots and lots of conversation.

7. Research Your Topic – Survival of the Fittest
I talked about how are babies born (which made a lot of laughter) and the Theory of Evolution.

8. Get Comfortable with Visual Aids – PRO-bins
I introduced new recycling concept, PRO-bins which is initiated by my final year seniors.

9. Persuade with Power – Global Warming
Environmental issues…

10. Inspire Your Audience – The Spirit of Sports
I talked about my participation in sports and the experience with Ah Ma, Ah Mii and Ah Tong.


And yes, I get RM400 pocket money from my sponsor for the 10 speeches…Yeah~!!!
