| 16 February – MBS Alumni Toastmaster Club – Blossoming
|
| Happy New Year! We wish every Toastmaster good luck, good health and good cheer in the Year of Tiger.
|
| We were so blessed to kick off our meeting today by giving & receiving BLOSSOMING good fortune & blessings to each other. These heartfelt wishes give warmth and connection, more valuable than red packet money.
|
| We had an unusual Table Topics with the theme of The Four Gentlemen (四君子), also called the Four Noble Ones, in Chinese art, referring to: the plum (梅), the orchid (蘭), the bamboo (竹), and the chrysanthemum (菊). This challenged our impromptu speaking ability and our knowledge of art and literature.
|
| To ace our BLOSSOMING public speaking skills, Nicole Shackleton reminds us that, it is important to:
|
| (1) know your audience
|
| (2) prepare and practice
|
| (3) own the stage
|
| (4) be confident
|
| (5) enjoy your speech.
|
| Come join our next regular meeting on campus, 2 Mar 2022 (Wed) at 7.30pm
