The gentleman who sat next to me was from China. He had been visiting the Mandarin Toastmasters Club. He was there yesterday because he wanted to learn from others and improve his standard of English.
When Nat was making his evaluation speech, I did not expect it to be so good. It was excellent because it was a well thought evaluation on the content instead of what improvements the speaker could take note of. I was blown away. I do not think my opinion and vote was bias because the first time when I witnessed Nat evaluating (a few months back), I did not vote for him.
One thing that I really like about Toastmasters is that the audience get to vote for their favourite speaker, evaluator and table topic speaker. I enjoy this form of participation as there is something to look forward to; an outcome as a result of the speeches made.
Another thing that I would like to praise about Tampines Changkat Toastmasters is that the members are welcoming and they cheer for the speakers. It creates a very healthy environment for all to learn, share and grow.
I want to thank Nat for inviting me to Toastmasters because it is an awesome place to be. I personally hope to participate in the table topic segment some day. Hope I have the guts... :)
