Title: Unforgettable summer delivered on 2006/02/21 (AMTC)
*Objective:
(Opening)
Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Every body knows I’m a vet boy, but nobody knows I am also a water boy. Why do I love swimming so much? Because this kind of sport, that I can do it alone, and the sport injury is rare. It is also a whole body exercise and nice aerobic sport. But tonight I didn’t only want to tell you the advantage of this sport. Properly I would like share with you my personal story when I want to be a water boy.
(Body)
It was a hot summer vacation in 1995. I was still a vet intern in animal teaching hospital of National Pingtung University. I thought I’d be very busy but still bored in this summer vacation. I didn’t want this vacation end up like last one. Maybe God heard my prayer, my then classmate who was also my buddy gave me a big surprise next day. He signed up a lifeguard training for me. Luckily, we both were admitted. It was simply too good to be true. And just when I was fantasizing the wonderful beaches or swimming pools and the hot bikini girls in this vacation, my buddy told me not to expect too much from it yet. Although we were admitted, we had to pass the entrance examination before we could join the training course. This is a big problem for us. According to the information of the lifeguard training society, the acceptance rate was only 50 percent. We didn’t know how to prepare and we only had one month to go. For the sake of the colorful and unforgettable summer vacation, we’re ready to risk everything. Finally we requested the senior who was already a lifeguard coach. We were so lucky, because he offered to help us and he designed a basic and simple training course for us. But not everything was smooth as silk. I had to iron out some obstacles. Firstly my boss gave me so much work to do that I always worked over time. And secondly, I had some home teaching job in my free time. Thirdly, I had to get up early to join the morning swimming training. I knew my body was so tired progressively and my mind was not really clear day by day. Three weeks later, something happened. I still remember it is a nice early morning. It’s the same fresh air and birds singing. I was on my way to the swimming pool by motorcycle. I still felt so tired because my sleeping time was not enough. Suddenly someone turned off the light in my mind. I couldn’t see anything at the same time. Then I felt the motorcycle run over the roadblock. It was flying in the air and it collided with a tree. Ya. What about me? I fell down on the ground and my body was upside down. And I fainted soon. When I woke up I just knew that my body had multiple abrasions. The doctor told me that I had to be in hospital for two days.
(Conclusion)
Ok, ladies and gentlemen. Before God wants to assign you a mission, he will test you. Right? Do you want to know what happened at the end of this story? I got batter quickly in the last week and all of us passed the entrance examination. But it is just only a beginning. I knew the following training course would be harder than ever. But we were determined to take on the challenges. No matter what we wouldn’t give up. Everybody, Tonight God wants to give our club member another great task. So, are you ready? YES! Thank you. Toastmaster.

Your mind touch the world
By Erika
Until you found out that actions have consequences , and not every thing is under your control. Until you found out that you couldn’t change the world at all…..Don’t be disappointed !! At least, you can change your mind. For the better , and forever? Working with nothing but hid own altruism , one good idea.
To pay it forward , it started as an extra credit assignment for a social studies class and turned into a world where no one goes hungry , no one is cold, no one is without a job or a ride or a loan or slave of credit card.
In addition , why and how do we use the body language to pay it forward? The body language is such an extraordinarily efficient instrument of communication that there must be rules that govern the way we interpret body language. But what are those rules? And are they same for everyone ?
For researches, found out whether people from different cultures agreed on meaning of different body language . For example, a warm smile , a appropriation light touching or a sincere eyes contact ……
Somehow it had to be known why the world could change at just that moment, why it could not have changed a moment sooner, and why it was the very thing that moment required. You cared about someone , but by the time you cared about him/her enough it was too late. You though you cared about your work, but you don’t know what your work could rally men until it was over. You wanted to make lots of money . You did make lots of money . You gave it all away.
Not everything can be dissected and understood. Not everything has a simple answer. When you lose interest in questions, you’re out of a job. That’s okay. I wasn’t as good at it as I should have been . I didn’t bring anything special to the game. People gradually stopped needing to know why. We adjust quickly to change, even as we rant and rail and swear we never will. And everybody likes a change if it’s a change for the better. And no one likes to dwell on the past if the past is ugly and everything is finally going well .
The most important thing you can add from your own observation is this: knowing it started from unremarkable circumstances should be a comfort to us all. Because it proves that you don’t need much to change the entire world for the better . You can start with the most ordinary ingredients . You can start with the world you’ve got.

C5 speech（your body speaker of C5 , 5 to 7 minutes） by Keny Lin
Title: beast face and human heart delivered on 2006/01/03 (AMTC)
*Objective:
(Opening)
Good evening ladies and gentlemen. When I was a student in senior high school, I was very interested in animal behaviors. I really wanted to know what they were thinking and why. I tried my best to be a Dr. Dollitte. Do you agree that dogs will show their feelings and emotions on their eyes? Ok, tonight I will tell you how.
(Body)
There are four emotions expressed by humans, including joyfulness, anger, grief, and happiness. Dogs also have these, but they don’t show them easily. Before you want to know what a dog thinks, you should image you are a dog. For example, “Pomeranian” is a small breed of dog. Everybody knows they are very nervous. When someone the dog has never seen before comes to its house, they will be barking continuously until they leave. Beagle is a middle breed of dog. His real name is England hunting rabbit dog. Although they always search for moving targets, they are actually active and brisk. The big breed of dog, Labrador Retriever. We call them guide dog. Although they look silly and foolish, they are actually smart and gentle. We’ll do a test of them one by one. When a “Pomeranian” sees you play with a plastic bottle like that. He will be very scared and scrams non-stop. Because she’ll think this is very terrible and take it far from me, please. We know they are so timid. The beagle is different. When he sees that, he will want the plastic bottle like that(WAA what is this, boss please give it to me. When you give it to him). They may become so concentrated with it that they forget the owner and everything. And when the Labrador sees that, they will be very happy but he’ll want to play with you not the plastic bottle. So, although all breeds of dogs have their own characters and styles, they still have some common traits. Just like they think the human is their best friend or even a family member. When you know this rule, you can be more closer to them. Then you will find it easier to understand their joyfulness, anger, grief, and happiness from their eyes. Besides that, I still want to remind everybody. You need more patience for them. Because the dogs always like a child. They don’t grow up.
(Conlusion)
Once time I heard one of my friend say that the humans are so much more complex than dogs and that he thinks dogs are more of a friend, than humans are. I often think about this story. Why the situation is like that. Maybe you will say that , society and information change too fast or the human mind is so changeable. Finally, I figured out the relationship between humans and dogs. We forget something is also important. It’s honesty. Why do you think the dog is your best friend? You do everything honestly for him. How about what you do for humans? We need to do more thinking about this. I think that tomorrow will be better and the world will be a better place too. Thank you. Toastmaster.

Mayna's C6 Speech 2005/12/06
C6 Objective: Vocal Varieties (5 to 7 mins) delivered by Mayna Chien
Speech Title: What We Learn from Santa
Delivered on 2005/12/6 (AMTC)
As Christmas is around the corner, you may be bombarded by all the Christmas carols. Everywhere you go, you can hear “ You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout. I’m telling you why. Santa Claus is coming to town.” “Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock.” “ Walk into the winter wonderland.” Oh, I just LOVE Christmas carols. You know what my favorite Christmas carol is? It’s --Rudolph the red nosed reindeer had a very shiny nose.
Not only is the song very catchy but it’s very inspiring. Rudolph the red nosed reindeer had a very shiny nose. And if you ever saw it, you would even say it glows. All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names. They never let poor Rudolph play in any reindeer games. Then one foggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say Rudolph with your nose so bright won't you guide my sleigh tonight? Then all the reindeer loved him and they shouted out with glee Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer. You'll go down in history! I don’t know about you but I feel I can really relate to this story. When I was a little girl, the kids didn’t like to play with me.(just like Rudolph) Why, not because I had a red nose but because I was dumb and ugly. It’s like they put a spell on me. Actually, I believed what they told me until 13 years ago when I met my prince charming or should I say Santa. Unlike fairy tale, he didn’t kiss me to break the spell. In stead, every day, he would tell me I’m the most beautiful woman and the most intelligent woman in the world. The spell was so bad that it took me one year to buy into his story. Thanks to his encouragement, now I have become a very confident person. We all love Santa for his generosity. He would give presents to good girls and good boys. Actually the best present costs nothing. All you need to do is compliment and encourage people. We can make a positive difference in people’s lives by playing Santa. Next time, when your fellow TM members dress well, you can say to them: “Wow, you dress like a million bucks.” When they give a great speech, do give them generous applause. That’s what we call Christmas spirit.
