Objectives: communicate your vision and mission to an audience.
Convince your audience to work toward achieving your vision and mission.
Before Wright brothers invented airplane “flight” was a dream for human being, no body can fly only bird can fly. Before Armstrong stepped on moon “go to space” was a fable, no body can do it only god can. Scientists, I respect you so much, because of you our dream came true fable became reality, human being is more powerful human being is more like a god.
Ladies and gentlemen do you how many benefits you get from technology? If scientist didn’t invent car and you wand to visit Taipei so you only can go there by walking or horse riding you might spend one month or more no transportation, that was so inconvenience. But now only several hours or lease one hour. Since technology develop well our life become convenience become more vivid we can through internet to buy any thing we can drive and make phone call in the same time, I know that is dangerous I don’t suggest you to do it, but you know that is convenience, before invented lamp what can we do at night time? Can you live without electronic power? There are too many benefits we get from technology.
But when you enjoy technology have you ever think the bad part of technology? Normally we just enjoy technology forget about the bad effect or even ignore, is it a correct behavior? Absolutely not, for example “air conditioner”, many people sleep not so well without air conditioner especially in summer time, because weather is too hot, but what makes weather so hot? It is Car and air conditioner. Because car and air conditioner produce badly air it destroy ozonosphere and then sun light shine on earth heat up weather. It is ridiculous, air conditioner make weather cool, but it also the main reason what make weather hot, in future we might can live in moon Jupiter or other planet, because our technology develop sc well we can live anywhere, but why should we move to other planet? Because too much pollution in earth. What pollute earth? It’s technology.
Every thing has too sides, technology can make our life better it also can destroy our life. I believe all of scientists they want to gave us a bright future not take us to darkness, Wright brothers invented airplane for the dream of fright, but airplane became weapon in second world war kill so many people, that is not what they want, is it their mistake? Can we blame them? Of cause not the error should belong to user, because they use it in wrong way. We are all users, my dear friends do you feel that we use technology in wrong way we abuse technology? Yes, I feel. We abuse technology and cause environment’s revenge such as global warming land slide flood or desertification. We are powerful we are like god but nature is real god, we do things in wrong way it will punish us. Dear fellow toastmasters technology is like a sword, it is useful and powerful, if you use it in right way right direction it will bring you a bright future and happiness, but if you use it in wrong direction it will harm yourself you suicide, so be careful control it well.
Before 350 years ago, at one night, there are many lights on the sea, just like twinkling star at the sky. Roar and war drum slice the peace and quite, fire and blast flamed everyone’s face. A general putted on his armor and stand on the front of warship. He didn’t afraid the explosion around him, his eye bright and piercing. He looked at the appearance of the land.

Title: Organic Foods: To Buy Or Not To Buy? delivered on
*Objective:
1. To learn the value of props in speaking.
2. To learn how to use props effectively in your presentations.
(Opening)
Good evening ladies and gentlemen, before I start my speech, I would like to ask you a question: What does "organic food" mean? Any volunteer? Don’t worry! It is not table topic session. Organic food is a kind of food which grows without the help of chemicals.
(Body)
Some people think that because the organic produce is produced naturally and they won't eat the chemical substance such as pesticide. Therefore, they think organic produce is healthier than normal produce. When you are in a market, would you like to buy organic foods? Actually, there are many factors may influence your decision to buy or not to buy organic foods. I did some search to analyze organic foods about nutrition, quality and appearance, pesticides, environmental issues, cost, and taste for your information.
The first one: Nutrition. No conclusive evidence shows that organic food is more nutritious than conventionally grown food. And the United States Department of Agriculture — even though it certifies organic food — doesn't claim that these products are safer or more nutritious.
The second one: Quality and appearance. Organic foods meet the same quality and safety standards as conventional foods. The difference lies in how the food is produced, processed and handled. You may find that organic fruits and vegetables spoil faster because they aren't treated with waxes or preservatives. Expect less-than-perfect appearances in some organic produce such as odd shapes, varying colors and perhaps smaller sizes.
The third one: Pesticides. Conventional growers may use pesticides to protect their crops from mold, insects and diseases. When farmers spray pesticides, this can leave residue on produce. Some people buy organic food to limit their exposure to these residues. Most experts agree, however, that the amount of pesticides found on fruits and vegetables poses a very small health risk, especially if you wash or peel your produce before eating it. And large-scale studies suggest that pesticide residues are unlikely to be an important risk factor for cancer to the general public. In addition, the health benefits of eating fruits and vegetables, regardless of how they're grown, far outweigh any potential health risks.
The fourth one: Environmental issues. Some people buy organic food for environmental reasons. Organic farming practices are designed to benefit the environment by reducing pollution and conserving water and soil.
The fifth one: Cost. Most organic food costs more than conventional food products. Higher prices are due to more-expensive farming practices, tighter government regulations and lower crop yields. Because organic farmers don't use herbicides or pesticides, many management tools that control weeds and pests are labor intensive. For example, organic growers may hand weed vegetables to control weeds, and you may end up paying more for these vegetables.
The last one: Taste. Some people say they can taste the difference between organic and non-organic food. Others say they find no difference. Taste is a subjective and personal consideration, so decide for yourself. But whether you buy organic food or not, finding the freshest foods available may have the biggest impact on taste.

Ladies and gentlemen good evening we all know that “sun light” “air” and “water” they are three most important elements in this world, we can’t live without them. No sun light plant can’t grow no plant no food no food we will die, no air our lifespan will be shorter then 3 minutes, and then “water” in our body about 60% is water we need water to help us to absorb, digest and improve metabolism, if water is not clean it will give our body some bad effect to cause some damager. Do you belief that water treatment plant clean water well? I don’t. since industry develop well pesticide use so much and we use so much chemical thing in our daily life, these behaviors pollute our water recourse, especially in
Reverse osmosis has best cleaning function among water purifiers, for this part I strongly agree, but is RO water good for our body? Not really, because RO system has strong cleaning function it can filter every thing from water about 99% no mater bad thing or good thing it’s function is too strong, They are so much essential minerals in water which our body need, such as Ca P Mg Fe Na K Cr ….., if we filter it out that might cause mineral shortage make some damage to our body. In 1977
Besides that RO system will waste resource and pollute environment, because make 1 liter RO water it also will make 4 liters dirty water you drink 1 liter RO water and then drain 4 liters dirty water out, dirty water flow to stream river or ocean and then dirty water pollute stream river and ocean dirty water flow to anywhere it pollute anywhere.
Ladies and gentlemen you buy RO system for what? For your health for your family’s health, but can it really protect your health? Not really. Should we use it? Our resource is limited; if we use RO system it will waste our resource should we use it? Because you have money to buy RO system, so you can enjoy purified water and then drain dirty water to pollute water resource poor men they don’t have money to buy RO system so they should die they have to drink polluted water which you pollute? Dear fellow toastmasters I know you are so kind, so I suggest you that don’t use RO system.
