Club regular meeting form
In the form of club meetings, each club usually contains 20 members. Regular meetings are usually held once a week or two, and each meeting lasts about 2 hours. The meeting process generally includes three items: impromptu speech, prepared speech and comments.
Introduction of three major links:
Improvised speech session: The impromptu speaker presides over this session. The host asks questions, and the audience has a chance to go on stage. In view of this topic, an impromptu speech of 1-2 minutes was delivered. This link is used to train the speaker's ability to think quickly and organize language to make a speech.
Speech preparation: According to the requirements of different projects in the speech manual, after a period of preparation, members usually give a speech on stage for 5-7 minutes.
Members improve their public speaking ability through preparation, rehearsal and formal speech.
Comment link: comment link is a characteristic link of Toastmasters International. Every prepared speech will get feedback from a reviewer. Commentators observe the speaker's performance and use 2-3 minutes of comments to help members improve.
In addition, other comment roles include time officer, language judge, hum and haw officer, etc. They are responsible for observing the whole meeting and reporting their findings at the end of the meeting. The Chief Justice will express his opinions on the organization of the meeting and the work of the judges. Each meeting is presided over by the host.
