2006/02/21 Keny's C6 Speech

C5 speech(Vocal variety of C6 , 5 to 7 minutes) by Keny Lin
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.

2006/02/07 Erika's C5 speech

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.

Darlene's C4 speech

C4 speech(How To Say It , 5 to 7 minutes) by Darlene
Title: LOVE A TO Z delivered on 2006/1/03
(OPEN)
Lots of people ask me“Darlene, what is love?”, and I always smile and tell them“Love is the most beautiful and magic thing in this world”.Since I was an elementary school student, I solved love problems for my classmates and friends, they regard me as a love expert. I won’t say I am a real expert, but I really enjoy talking and sharing something about love. So tonight I will share you about what love is.
(Body)
Love is “Accept”~ No one is perfect, especially when two people get together, they are just like two different piece of brick, you have to pander to each other. So If you love him, you have to accept all, including his defect.
Love is “Believe”~ If you don’t believe him and always have mistrust of your lover, I believe the final outcome is “break up”.
Love is “Care”~ The level you care about your lover equals to the level you value about him. Sometimes you can call him and give him your caring. He’ll feel sweet.
Love is “Devoted”~ If you love someone, you have to devote to him. It’s not good to have many lovers at the same time, otherwise you only hurt the one you love and waste your time.
Love is “Enjoy”~ You should appreciate everything about him, and enjoy the happiness which love gives you, then you can love with pleasure, not only be a picky lover.
Love is “Freedom”~ Although you are seeing each other, but you should give each other freedom and the right to keep your own secret. Your lover is not your slave, so don’t let him feel he is like your pet, only can stay in the cage.
Love is “Give”~ Love is not you paid as you gained. But if you don’t give, then you don’t get.
Love is “Heart”~ The most important element of love is heart, if you don’t have true heart, how can you say you are really in love with him?
Love is “Independence”~ The most sweet talk is “I was born because of you”. But everyone should have their own space. You shouldn’t too rely on your lover and become their heavy burden.
Love is “Jealousy”~ Appropriate jealousy is good, that means you care about them, but you can not jealous for no reason, otherwise it will be resentful.
Love is “Kiss”~ Sometimes kiss talks, if you don’t know how to express your love, just give him(her) a kiss.
Love is “Love”~ Love is different from like, it’s the highest state of relationship. So you should often say “ I love you”, I guarantee women buys it.
Love is “Mature”~ Don’t be childish when you talk about love, if your attitude is mature, that will help you to have better relationship.
Love is “ Natural”~ Many people when they start dating, they will hide their defect and become another person. After the time goes by, then their defect will gradually come out. In fact, natural love goes forever.
Love is “Observe”~ You should pay more attention about what your lover’s hobbies and interest. For example, if he said he likes the watch on the magazine, then you could buy it as a birthday gift, and give him as a surprise.
Love is “Protect”~ Be someone’s boyfriend or girlfriend, you should protect each other. Especially be a girlfriend you should protect your boyfriend’s dignity, don’t insult your boyfriend in public.
Love is “Quarter”~ How come there is no quarter in love? When he make mistake, you should forgive him. Why? Because you are the one who loves him most.
Love is “ Receive”~ When your lover do something for you, don’t be so cool. Because this will make him dejected. You should receive it appreciatively.
Love is “Share”~ You should share everything with your lover. It’s the simple duty you can do as a girlfriend (boyfriend). Share your happiness、anger、sorrow、joy with him.
Love is “Try”~ When you have been get together for a long time, you might feel it’s a little bit dull, it’s normal. But it’s only a stage toward to a successful relationship, and it’s also the most important one, if you can go through this period of time, I believe you will have a happy life, so let’s try different way to communicate.
Love is “Understand”~ You should understand who he (she )is, otherwise you can’t get along with him (her )well.
Love is “Vow”~ Everyone can vow. Vow can make your lover feel you love him so much. But don’t vow too often, otherwise it’s meaningless.
Love is “Willingness”~ Sometimes your lover will request you to do something, it may not reasonable. If it’s reasonable, but you are not willing do it, please just say “No”.
Love is “ eXpression”~ when you get together, you should express your thought and opinions. Don’t just keep silence. The gap between you and him will become bigger.
Love is “Yield”~ When you get together, tolerance is very important, don’t yell at each other. It’s harmful; and it can’t solve the problem. And remember don’t say “break up” easily.
Love is “Zest”~ Be passionate to your lover. But remember don’t go too far, otherwise she might think you’re crazy.
I remember Miss momo have said “ The most touching thing a man do to his girlfriend is not give her a diamond ring or a bouquet of roses. That’s he can remember every word she said to him and materialize it one day” .Yes, it’s true. Although I know something about love, I am still learning now. Because love is the most simple and complicated thing in this world. Only wait for you to explore it, I am sure you can find its amazement.

2006/01/03 Keny's C5 speech

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.
