Conclusion

The meeting yesterday was really an inspiring meeting. More than 40 attendants made our meeting more passionate and more interesting.

Chris, always bring us impressive performance although he joined in CCTMC just 6 month. Yesterday, he showed another advantage of himself: telling cold joke! Haha! And he is the only man in 7 table topic speakers. Our toastmaster gentlemen, please don’t be so shy!

Yi showed us his lovely PDA in his second speech and got the best speaker award at the end. He let us know the PDA is not just a tool to communicate and play game, but also a helper to say something instead of you like”Could you tell me your phone number?” Maybe this function is why he likes PDA so much.

Ceasar completed his No.10 speech. Congratulations! In the past 5 month, Ceasar insist his speeches on drama style. Inspiring voice and body language made his speech vivid and interesting. Success come from effort, and Ceasar’s effort made him finished the CC manual successfully.

Different feeling, different enjoyment. CCTMC is the place could bring you fresh things. Come on! We all waiting for your participation and wonderful performance.
