Title: Give Someone a Hand
Don’t know when in the society people become selfish. People are not helping each other; also your kindness might get you into the trouble. And People can’t trust each other anymore. Anyway, in our life time we just want to have a piece quiet and safe life. That’s the reason you can’t see people give their hand to help other people and that’s why this society people becomes cooler and cooler.
Last month, I when to the hospital, I was in the pharmacy waiting for my medicines. I saw something happen. An old man carried a lot of medicines; he walked to the first row of sit and tried to sit on the chair. After he sat on the chair, his money was dump. On the second row there was a young man sitting behind him. The young man didn’t bend down to help the old man. Instead of he saw the old man stood up and bends down to pick the money by himself. All he done was standing up and step away just watched the old man to pick up his money. I couldn’t get it. The old man couldn’t move will, as you know old man move very slow so that the old man had to spend a lot of the time to pick up the money. But, the young man could move quickly and won’t spend a lot of time. Beside that, the old man made me feel like bend down was very painful thing for him. Why didn’t the young man just give the old man a hand? I wondered. Until last week, I found my answer.
Last week, my mother and I went to a school to meet the costumers. On the way back to the car, there is a kid lie on the floor and he looked pint for. I walked to him and said “Are you alright?” He didn’t answer me and I didn’t know was he heard me or not, so I was going to ask him again. This time my mother tried to step me and pulled me away from there. I looked at her and waited for her to tell me why she would do this. She said that because there no one around there. If we went to help the kid, other people just walk by and they might thought we was the one to make the kid fall down, because the kid couldn’t say a word. If there was someone over there, we can go help. Because every on could watch it and no one would blame it to us.
Now I realize why the young man I saw on the hospital didn’t want to help the old man. I believed that he had some thought was my mother had. He afraid that the old man would think he was going to still his money. The “misunderstanding” really made those people who like to help felt depress. Think about it, we saw someone who needs a hand. We give them the hand, but it rune out like we are the one to hurting them. It really broke our heart. That is why now people are stop to give someone a hand, and become to protect themselves and way from the event.
Well, I know in this society still has some one with their good heart willing to give the hand to someone else. Like in 1999 the 921 big earthquake, people willing to donate the money, goods, and foods to those people who need the help and also help them to build up their home. In 2004 the big tsunami, the entire world donated the money to help them build up their home too. Even on the news on the television tell some sad story and asked for donation, and next day a lot the money going to the bank. Yes, you see still in the society people have good heart like to help. But did you realize those are good events. Everyone knows it really need the help and won’t be afraid it was a track. The people around you are you really given them a hand? The answer is not really, because of misunderstanding and lying.
I believed all the members sitting over here are like to give your friends or someone you know a head. How about the stranger around you? I believed you will thing about it, include myself. I will do the something think first. It is not we don’t believed strangers, because we heard a lot of thing what the strangers would had done to other people who given them a hand.
I believed you have heard this kind of story and it did happen to my brother’s friend. There is a man walk to my brother’s friend and ask to borrow his cellular phone. That man said “Sir, can I borrow your cellular phone. I need to make an emergence call, but I couldn’t find the public telephone.” Therefore, my brother’s friend borrowed his cellular phone to that man. After the man had the phone, he pretended that the connection was not good. So, he walked a step away from my brother’s friend and smile to him. One minute after that man run way. My brother’s friend went chase that man, but he couldn’t catch him.
Broadcast always told us we need to be aware on the stranger when someone asks for help don’t help because it might be a track. The safe way to protect ourselves is not to care about other. Just like once I lost my cellular phone. I hope someone had found my cellular phone. I want to make a phone call to my cellular phone. I look around there was not public phone. So, I tried to ask the stranger to borrow the phone to help me found my cellular phone. But no one was welling to borrow their cellular phone to me. That was the first time I felt the society are so cold. No one likes to help a helpless girl.
We are welling to help other because we believed they really need the help. How about other? The world is change. People’s minds are change too. But we should still need to believe in this society, in this world people still have good heart and like to give someone a hand. Also believe there not lie other really need our help. Next time when some strangers ask for help, try to give them your hand. Therefore people to people will be warm not be cold anymore.

2007/10/2 Darlene's C10 speech
Title: DARLENE
Two days after is my birthday, and it will be an important day because I will enter my next golden stage of life. Two years ago was a happy Christmas day, and it was also an important day because I started my toastmaster’s life. When our IPP John used his tender voice to ask “Darlene, would you like to join our club?” and firmly eye sight to look at me “ Just say yes, Darlene” and used his strong hands to shake with me, I only can said “Yes, I do” and concluded by John. Time flies, I joined toastmaster almost two years, from a member to EVP to president and now to become a division D3 governor. I always talk to other members, I am force to progress too fast, just like a Chinese idiom says “揠苗助長”
But the truth is… I really learn a lot in toastmasters. Today I will share my experiences with all my dear members.
In my two years toastmaster’s life, what I have learned is already transform to seven words. It’s my name~ DARLENE. You must be curious about why I have learned is related to my name, let me tell you. D is do. In toastmasters, we learn trough experiences, so the more you do, the more experiences you get. So next time when our EVP Jenny assigned you to do any meeting roles, please don’t refuse her, contrarily, you have to seize the chance and say says. Remember you have to “Do more” then you can “Get more”. A is attitude. Attitude is very important when you join the meeting, we are here not only to learn English, but also learn communication skills, so everyone could be your learning target. Therefore, your attitude must be right. If you have right attitude you can learn more than you expect in toastmasters. R is responsibility. Be responsible is every member’s duty. Just like our present club’s slogan. “When in toastmasters, do as the toastmasters do.” No matter you are a speaker, session master, even you are a club officer, you have the responsibility to fulfill your job. Then you can run a smooth meeting or can lead our club successfully. So having responsibility is the basic sense you need. L is learning. Every month we only have four hours meeting time to learn. Because time is limited, so we have to learn fast. We spend the same time in toastmasters, some members you can feel he is progress, he deliver his speech better and better, but some members do not. Why they have differences? Learning speed. E is eagerness. In toastmasters, no matter what you want to get, you must have eagerness. Some members are eager for being a top toastmaster, some members are eager for English improvement, some members are eager for friendship. Everyone might has different reason but you must have the same eagerness. N is no. No what? No doubt. I believe some of you may doubt yourself like “Can I deliver my speech like her?” or “ Can I join the speech contest?” Trust me, you can make it. You have to believe in yourself. In our club, we have many successful example like Jonathan, John, Amanda, Mayna, Keny, Jenny, even me, we are all join the division contest, although we didn’t win in contest, but we are all winners. The last E is explore, you have to discover the charm of toastmaster, do you ever thought about why some members can join it ten to twenty years and never feel tired about it? It’s the magic of toastmaster, you have to motivate your potential, then you will love this place. So let’s review together, if you need to take a note, please go ahead, because I won’t deliver it second time. In my two years toastmaster’s life, I feel my life is colorful and wonderful, of course this sense of achievement is from an amazing girl, who always tell other people that it’s good to be alive, her SOS theory is from love A to Z , she owned a Jau-tsai cat and always says “ Watch out! The sexual harasser is by your side” and she think madam Gin-Sigh is herself, so she let other people know they choose their life not life chooses them, why she believe she can, because she is Darlene.

Title: A Visitor or a Host
Where do you live? Where are you living? Where will you be after tomorrow? (Showing up with projector 1-2) This is the place all of us living in. No matter who are you; rich or poor, intelligent or dumb, white or black, African or Asian, Norwegian or Indonesian, even speak English or not. We are living together in this big house.
Our living place, Earth, is it beautiful? Do you like to live here? What role would you like to play, a visitor or a host? A visitor means that you just come to enjoy, to pleasure, to consume and then go away.
A host also means that to enjoy, to pleasure, but plays more as a provider, cater, giver and investor. The visitor just concern and take pleasure in what he wants right now, no more about the next time or tomorrow, but the host shall take care of his big house and think about the day after tomorrow.
In this 5 hundred million olds planet something is going to change. Do you know what is it the most severe circumstance? I know most of you already have the idea, global warming. Yes it is. Some of Toastmasters fellows had shown up similar topics on their speech in our club before. I’m sure most of you have the basic knowledge connected with this topic. But I would like to remind you again what severe situation we are facing now and offer more evidence and go into a little more detail about it.
---What we did yesterday and doing right now continuously hurt it— All we know that the earth is protected by the atmospheric surface.
Earth's atmosphere is a layer of gases surrounding the planet and retained by the Earth's gravity. (Showing up with projector 3-4)
There are 4 layers to protect the earth. Ozone layer (the most famous one and almost every one knows it)--It is vitally important to life because it absorbs the harmful ultraviolet (UV) from the Sun. Ozone layer is going thin and disappear---main cause of Global warming.
It has been claimed that the Earth's climate warming is due to the changes in the relative concentration of gases in the atmosphere. The gases involved are: (Showing up with projector 5)
Global Warming is caused by many things. The causes are split up into two groups, man-made or natural causes.
Natural Causes-- One natural cause is a release of methane gas from arctic tundra and wetlands and animal metabolism.
Man-made Causes-- Man-made causes probably do the most damage. Pollution is one of the biggest man-made problems.
Reasons –Pollution (Pollution is the introduction of pollutants (chemical substances, noise, heat, light, energy, etc.) into the environment which resulted in deleterious effects of such a nature as to endanger human health, harm living resources and ecosystems.)--- increased carbon dioxide (CO 2)
(Showing up with projector 6-11)
Temperatures going up cause the effects of Global Warming---
(Showing up with projector-12-14)
Global Warming – Cause the Green house effect-- Cause the Climate change -- Cause the agricultural problems-- Cause the economics problems -- Cause the political problems –Then what ???
The most severe circumstance is effecting on ecosystems and human health.
So far right now, if you followed my ideas you may waiting my suggestion or advice for what should we do or what we shouldn’t. No, I’m not going to offer or suggesting any bearings on them. I’m just demonstrating the severe situation we are facing now. And evoke you to think about what role we are playing in and that would be the tomorrow, a visitor or a host?

2007/09/4 Wade's A3 speech
Title: Money is not money, but MONEY.
A3: The persuasive approach
Welcome.
Sir, I would like buy 2 set of toast, here is 40NT dollars.
Sorry, sir. 40NT dollars is not enough for 2 set of toast, but for one.
Are you crazy? I just bought 2 with 40 last month, is your toast more delicious than before?
Our toast is as delicious as before, your money is not as worthy as before.
Dear members, good evening. I believe most of us should figure out that we are in the high-cost society. No matter the gasoline, bread, milk, Mcdonald, even tissue, they are getting expansive on the back. Everything is on the rise, but just only one thing is still. Do you know what? Yes, it is our salary.
Why is our money getting smaller? Why we always working overtime and rock our brain, day and night, everyday; and it is still not enough to get a raise from our boss. Why my money ….. Dear members, if you Scream behind your mind, scream it out. I totally understand; I can’t agree it more. We are on the same boat.
The question is how to make money bigger? We often think about how to make additional money or how to save money. Purchase something on sale; keeping account for financial management. Or…. I think most of you have good idea on that. However, maybe we can think something with alternative point of view. The question is how to make money greater even we can’t earn more.
30NT dollars only afford one set of toast today; it is also able to buy 20 Bangal children a cup of milk. Or you can buy a bread with 30dollars from mind disabled to help them more hired chance. 60NT dollars only afford 2 sets of toasts or it is also …
Dear members, we are in the high-cost society, our Money is smaller, but at the same time, if we can, our money is greater.

How to be a good teacher?
Two years ago, I became an assistant professor at Kaosuing Medical University. At that time, I was ready to be a researcher because I was trained a lot to do researches. However, I didn’t learn how to be a good teacher for university student. Since then, I kept asking myself: How to be a good teacher. By reading some books, discussing with other experienced teachers, observing from my own classes, and thinking all the time, I find out some ideas. Here, I would like to share with you to share some important ideas.
Firstly, I think the most important thing is to help students develop an interest in the field you teach. You have to love what you do. We all have that kind of experience. If you are interested in something, you can spend a lot of time searching the related information, reading it and learning it. Most important of all, you do it happily. So, I just try to give students the basic knowledge, and tell them how interest this subject is. That’s my first goal.
Secondly, make a free atmosphere for student to ask questions. Encourage them to ask questions, or even force them to ask questions, because every great discovery comes from a good question. For example, do you know who invent airplane? Most of us know Wright brothers did it. But how did they do it? At the very beginning, they just asked a very simple question: Can we human being fly like a bird? Yes, just a simple question. So, the second goal of my teaching is encouraging them to ask questions.
Thirdly, teach them both the ability and the knowledge. Most teachers teach the students “ knowledge”. However, things change very fast in this Age. I told my student all the time “You can’t learn everything from school.” But, you can not tell your boss I didn’t learn it from school, so don’t ask me to do it. So, you need to learn the ability to solve the problem when you face a new challenge. Therefore, I try to teach them how to find the related information, what’s the resources you can find, how to read it and understand it, and finally, how to digest all the information and find out a solution. Maybe I still can’t design the course perfectly. But I do want to teach students the ability. And that’s the third goal of my teaching that I want to share with you.I know I am not a very experienced teacher, but I do hope my student can learn something from me. Today, I am so glad to have this chance to share with you three important goals of my teaching: Help students develop an interest in the field I teach, Make a free atmosphere for them to ask questions, and teach them both the ability and knowledge. Hopefully, those are correct concepts. If you have any suggestions, I will be very happy to have them.

Thirdly, teach them both the ability and the knowledge. Most teachers teach the students “ knowledge”. However, things change very fast in this Age. I told my student all the time “You can’t learn everything from school.” But, you can not tell your boss I didn’t learn it from school, so don’t ask me to do it. So, you need to learn the ability to solve the problem when you face a new challenge. Therefore, I try to teach them how to find the related information, what’s the resources you can find, how to read it and understand it, and finally, how to digest all the information and find out a solution. Maybe I still can’t design the course perfectly. But I do want to teach students the ability. And that’s the third goal of my teaching that I want to share with you.I know I am not a very experienced teacher, but I do hope my student can learn something from me. Today, I am so glad to have this chance to share with you three important goals of my teaching: Help students develop an interest in the field I teach, Make a free atmosphere for them to ask questions, and teach them both the ability and knowledge. Hopefully, those are correct concepts. If you have any suggestions, I will be very happy to have them.
