TMOE for the day was TM U who brought the meeting to life by putting a lot of comments and smiles on it.
Word Of the Evening “Overcome” was presented by TM G. He explained the two meanings of the word, “to succeed past through or over some struggle or hardship “, and “to be overwhelmed in your body or in your mind “.
We had two prepared speeches, and two contest speeches for the upcoming contests.
First speaker was TM U. The title was “Missing, so pursue ideals”.
He loved his kind and respectful father who always made him and his sister laugh by telling jokes. However, he lost his father by cancer when he was young. This experience made him think he did not know of the way of life since he felt he had lost the person who gave a core in his heart. However, his grandfather made him realize that his father gave him a kind heart and he could be an ideal person if he wished and pursued it. From this experience, he said that we can grow more and pursue ourselves even though we lost someone important, so no need to worry. It was a wonderful speech that touched my heart.
Second speaker was TM S. The title was “Hakodate”
In the speech, she recommended us a trip to Hakodate which is her one of the favorite places in her hometown Hokkaido. She shared the attractive points such as traditional Japanese seafood cuisine, beautiful night view from Mount Hakodate and the Morning market. Her wonderful speech made me remember the enjoyable memories of trips and want to go to Hakodate.
As a third speech, a pre-recorded contest speech delivered in the Area45 Humor Speech contest held on February 5th was presented to members The contest speech speaker was TM O. He won Area45 Humor Speech contest and will join the next Division contest
Fourth speaker was TM W. He delivered the contest speech which will be held on the Area international speech contest scheduled on February 19.
At the end of the meeting, both two contest speech speakers received a lot of kind and helpful feedback from members.
I have a confident that the combination of their speeches and feedbacks from the members will win the contests!
Table topic session was conducted by Table topic master, TM J.
She introduced two games in this session and all members really enjoyed them with improving their speech skills by developing the impromptu questions and answers.
It was an innovative, brilliant idea!
