Because Helen, from Rockingham TM, recommend me to visit the gateway toastmaster, I want to see what's the difference and why it make Helen so love it.
Finally, I become a Toastmasters member in Rockingham Toastmasters club. Although I had finished my CC in Taiwan, I think I want to be much better. I want to be good at the basic public speaking skill, and I think more practice is the best way to learn it. Some people think do more practice for the same speech will be much better. I think that will be a little boring, and I prefer to do the similar things for the same purpose. For example, if I don't understand the mean of the book, I'd like to read another books to make to realize it. I don't like to read it again and again. And when I read more, sometimes I will have different felling. When I go back to read the same part that I don't understand before, I might realize it. The No.2 prepare speech in Toastmasters is "organize your speech." When I do it twice in different topic, place and evaluation, I can get the different experience for mastering the C2 speech. C1 to C10 is a process, and every speech have its own purpose, and it's also a very important skill for every speeches. Try to be more good at CC and try to be more humorous. Because I think I am a shy and stiff person, I want to be more friendly. Hope I can do it. By the way, I'm lucky that Rockingham Toastmasters Club is a lovely and warmly place that I can really enjoy the meeting than other clubs. Even I can't understand the every meaning form others, I still feel so good during the meeting. Hope I can do something for the mother club in Australia and also bring something back to my mother club in Taiwan.
