A6 The Persuasive Leader Title: Use the right thing in right way

Time limit: 6 to 8 minutes speaker: Jason Wu

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.

Tainan — A historical and beautiful city.

 

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. Here will become his new home, will become his new base for breasting 清 dynasty. Who is he? He is 鄭成功.

 

At 1661, 鄭成功beat Hollander and landed at 鹿耳門 which is a place near Tainan. From 鄭成功, Tainan had reclaimed and become a city that full of history and beauty. In Tainan, there are many high spots for visiting. For example, 安平古堡、億載金城、赤崁樓. the most of sites were built for protecting Tainan city in the beginning. But some of them have different functions later. To Tainan, it played different roles in the history. 安平, it played military role at the start, so we can visit 安平古堡 and 億載金城 at that.  In those historical sites, we could image how fierce war took place. Even right now, we still can search for the bullet scars on the wall. In spite of those sites contain of miserable stories, it still stand under the shinning daylight firmly. Today, those military sites had become tourist attractions. If you have opportunity, give yourself more time to visit them.

 

Except for the military role, Tainan played educational role, too. During the time of 鄭成功, Tainan has the first Confucius Temple in Taiwan. It was not only has educational function in the pass, but also help to develop the education in Tainan City. Now, it located at 南門 road, a street has atmosphere of culture. On the Teacher’s day every year, Confucius Temple holds a dignified celebration for expressing our estimation.

 

Moreover, religion is an important living part of residents who live in Tainan. Because Tainan located next to the sea, especially in 安平, many residents earn their money by fishing. But at the time, fishing on the sea is a dangerous job. In order to fish safely, the people search for protecting from God. And the famous and honorable god—媽祖, became a main god in Tainan. Actually, 媽祖became a angel to protect the residents who live in the littoral before 鄭成功 era. Some legends indicate that 鄭成功 can beat Hollander, it’s because of blessing came from 媽祖. No matter the story is true or not, to residents, 媽祖has became their faith.

 

Except for historical building and Temple, there are some museums exhibit famous master pieces in Tainan. For example, national museum of Taiwanese literature located at the center area of Tainan city. The building was Tainan City hall during Japanese era. But now, it became a place for showing some articles or master pieces which be written by some famous Taiwanese Arthur. Besides, the building of museum is so beautiful that many lovers will shoot their wedding picture with it. If you are interested in reading, you can visit this beautiful building and enjoy the time in it.

 

Travel to Tainan, it’s not enough to visit those historical sites; you have to taste famous traditional snacks in person. Oyster omelets、stinky tofu、coffin cake、tofu pudding、shrimp roll, those snacks that you can’t miss when you visit Tainan City. By the way, the special activity—wandering in night market will help you to taste more delicious foods and experienced the life style in Tainan.

 

Tainan has abounding historical remains enthusiastic residents, what are you waiting for, just carry your baggage with us and have a wonderful travel in Tainan.

C8 speech（Add Impact To Your Speech of C8, 5 to 7 minutes） by Jenny Chou

Title: Organic Foods: To Buy Or Not To Buy? delivered on 2007/1/2 (AMTC)

*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.

(Conclusion)

After above deeply analyze, we can understand that the benefit to buy organic food is not for nutrition, quality and appearance, pesticides, or taste but environmental issues. There is only one Earth. Every body has the responsibility to protect it. I believe that next time when you are in a market, you can make a smart decision and know the reason why to buy or not to by organic foods.
