Young speakers
This meeting featured young speakers, meaninig all of them working on Level 1 projects. In Toastmasters, we deliver speeches based on projects provided in the online material called "Pathways," where projects are divided into five differnent levels, one from five. This time, all speakers were relatively new and the first speaker delivered his "Ice Breaker" speech, the first speech of self-introduction every Toastmaster deliver after joining Toastmasters. We all enjoyed it. It's always great to welcome a new member.
今回のミーティングの目玉はフレッシュなメンバーのスピーチでした。３人ともがToastmastersの教育プログラム「Pathways」の５つあるレベルのうち最初のLevel 1のプロジェクトに取り組んでおり、そのうちの１人は、すべてのToastmasterが入会後に行う最初の自己紹介のスピーチ、Ice Breakerを披露してくれました。新しいメンバーを迎えるのはいつも嬉しいことですね。
we were also delighted to welcome four guests, including one Toastmasters guest. Welcoming a Toastmasters guest from time to time is refreshing and it is a great opportunity to hear what they thought about our meeting. We do take pride in what we do, but there's always something to improve on. A visit by a Toastmaster guest is a great opportunity to hear their thoughts about our meeting, reflect on what we do, and try to perfect our meetings.
今回はToastmasters会員１人を含む４人のゲストをお迎えできたこと。たまにToastmasters会員をお迎えするのはありがたいことです。普段、自分たちがしていることに自信はあるものの、時折他のクラブの方からの新鮮な視点をお聞きして自分たちのミーティングをさらにより良いものに指摘機械はありがたいものです。
