C3 speech（title of C3 , 5 to 7 minutes） by Keny Lin
Title: Life respecting delivered on 2005/07/19 (AMTC)
*Objective:
(Opening)
Ladies and gentleman “good evening”, last week I had an opportunity to attend a conference, in National Pingtung University of Science and Technology on “respecting life”. The main speaker was Dr. Lee, he comes from department of life science in National Taiwan University. In this meeting, He talked about what the difference is between animal and the world, their life’s origin and the end, and then he asked us the meaning of our life, the things we do as we live and the relationship between human, animal and the world? I know most people have different explaination and idea. A few million years ago, people considered the animal as their food. Then a few thousand years ago, animals were mainly treated as slaves and work for human, Today, however some animals have become our partners, friends, and a part of our family. Why does this relationship change? Tonight I would like to challenge your mind.

It’s only after the conference, I started to think what thing I can do for the world? Our national father initially wanted to be a doctor so he could save people’s life, but he didn’t really think that was enough. He felt that our country had certain imperfections. Therefore he decided that a revolution was the only way to save the country and its people. Why he does that, he knows people and country need him. I don’t think I can save anyone, but I do know what I can help people to better take care of their pet, and promote the concept so more people would respect the life of animal. If you ask me why I make this decision, my answer will be : yes. I just know that they need me.
Chinese culture came from feudalism into democracy because it’s the trend of the world. The thought of animals changed from human food to become our partners, friends, and the family today. That’s also the trend of the world. In the other modern countries, like America and Canada, and in Europe pets are looked after like human beings. Why do they do that? Because they know this is necessary, they love them.
Why does the animal need our respect? Because people will change their mind progressively. Some dogs can help people and save people’s life, just like a guide dog for a blind person, I know a story about a dog jump into the fired house to save his owner. So, do you believe that?
Ok!! Formerly, the men are more important than women, but now both of them are equally important. So maybe the animal and human will have equal rights in the future. So believe that.
(Conclusion)
In Taiwan, respecting the life of animal is not an easy thing to do, but more and more people will face to this topic, more and more people are already doing that by themselves. In 1999, the law on animal protection was enforced to become a part of the legislation. This is a good news for both the animal and human. Give you a question: In interpersonal relationship, what do you think when you will become Amanda? And From the world’s view, what do you think when you will become a dog? If you never do that, it will be a strongly mind challenge. Because I think it will came truth in someday of feature. Thanks. Toastmaster.

Youkey's C5 speech script
C5 speech（Vocal Variety, 5 to 7 minutes） by Youkey
Title: Sounds Good delivered on 2005/07/19 (AMTC)
Props: …pie chart
(Opening)
When I’m standing here and delivering my speech, you the audience, pay attention
55% on my appearance, body language, and facial expression
38% on the voice quality, volume, tone
7% on the speech contents
This means you don’t really care about what I say but how I say it. If I ask you to close your eyes, half of the people will be distracked and get lost. If I don’t sound good enough, most people will fall asleep. But what does “sounds good” mean? For example Mayna comes to John and says, John, let’s have a party at your house. John replies “sounds good”, and Maxwell replies “sounds good”. Which one sounds better? Different voice expresses different emotion and personality. What kind of voice do you have?
(Body)
Actually, everyone’s voice is unique and hard to change. Some people don’t like their voice that much including me. My major in the university was Japanese but afterwards I figured out Japanese is just not for my voice. (Japanese demo) Come on! It’s not me. Therefore, the very first no no is don’t ever never imitate. As I mentioned earlier, everyone is unique as your voice. If you force yourself to be someone else, you will never be a successful speaker.
But how can we improve our voice? Here are some tips for you.
Relax - You have to relax your mind, your body, then the vocal cord. You have to relax then you can breathe smoothly and naturally. Believe me. If you are nervous, your listeners will be affected and start worrying for you. It will be too exciting especially if someone has heart disease.
Clear – A clear voice means two ways. Clear enough to be heard and clear enough to be understood. Maybe you don’t have a beautiful voice, but make sure your voice is loud enough to be heard. It’s not easy to improve the pronunciation but practice makes perfect. You can try to record your speech, find out the weakness and improve it. Day by day, you will sound like a native speaker one day. (if you try really really really hard)
Cadence which means the rise and fall of the voice. It expresses the flow of your emotion. If your voice is flat and lacks of rhyme, trust me, it can be really annoying. (you know what I mean…)
(Conclusion)
The last but not the least is the attitude. No matter you are talking to a person or a group, deliver it not just say it. An attractive voice is which can express what you think and create an image for the listeners. That requires the accumulation of experience in daily life. Be passionate about what you say and it’s the best way to communicate.
Remember! Silence says more. If you don’t want to say it, then don’t say it. If you have to say it, say it from your heart. Voice is not only the vibration in the air but between you and your listener.

Darlene's C2 script
C2 speech（Organize Your Speech , 5 to 7 minutes） by Darlene
Title: It’s good to be alive delivered on 2005/07/05
(Open)
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, I am Darlene. It’s good to be alive. Why did I choose this topic? Because just a few weeks ago, I was chatting with my net friend on MSN. And his code is “it’s good to be alive”. I was so curious so I asked him why ? He told me that one month ago he had had a car accident. When he was driving on the highway, there was a car speed up and bumped his car from the left, then his car spun three rounds. At that moment, it’s totally empty in his mind, he knew he couldn’t breathe but he was still conscious. After that, he didn’t remember anything, he just kept seeing three flashes of white light. He didn’t know the light is God’s call or just the operating lamp. I was so shocked and asked him, “ if you injured so bad, why could I still talk to you now?” He said “ Because when I lied on the operating table, I kept reminding myself, I am only thirty years old, and I didn’t get married yet, so no matter what, I have to take one more breath.” So this will support me to survive again. Now I cherish my life very much, because it’s really good to be alive.
(Body)
His words recalls me about my friend’s father. He was paralysed last year. And he was a soldier, so he is very majestic. But after he paralysed, he can’t move his left side of body, so he felt he has no majesty, and then he refused to receive rehabilitation treatment. One day my friend and I go to hospital to visit her father. Her elder sister also came to see him. She is pregnant and will have childbirth at the end of the year, so she tell her father that” I will deliver a baby soon, if you don’t receive rehabilitation treatment, you won’t be able to hug your grandson. So dear father you have to rehabilitate” And my friend also encouraged her father to receive the treatment, cause my friend would get married next month, so she says” father, I will get married next month and you are the wedding host. I already print my wedding invitation. So you have to recuperate as soon as possible” But the most touching thing is I heard my friend’s mother talk to her husband that” I don’t feel tired or toilsome even though I have to massage your body everyday. But you promise you will accompany me until we pass away, and you also say you want to hug your grandchild, how can you break your commitment?” Although my friend’s father didn’t say a word, he still drops his tears and started to receive the rehabilitation treatment. And now he can walk with crutch.
(conclusion)
I think everybody exists in this world is because you have hope. In your life you always have something you want to do but not doing yet. And only hope can support us to face any difficulty even death. People say when you are dying, everything happens in your life would like a movie scene appears in front of you, and you will think you have something you are not doing yet, so I hope everybody can cherish your life, don’t take your life no matter what. For example, like commit suicide. It’s the most stupid and irresponsible behavior. So just like my motto” Seize the moment, don’t regret” So if you want to do something, just do it now, because it’s really good to be alive and only you are alive, you can materialize your dreams.
