CYTC Announcement-Feb 27, 2013(meeting 275th)

Dear members,

We had 14 members attending the meeting No.275. And it's been a long time since we had so many guests coming to join us. Yes, some students from National Chiayi University and National Chung Cheng University joined us and really had fun. Two speakers performed their best. Angela Liu delivered her A1 speech, a folklore about the God of Stove. She was a great story teller that night and grabbed everyone's attention. David Lai gave his A7 project, talking about the experience of Learning An Instrument. He shared  detailed guidelines in choosing the perfect instrument for oneself. Mr. Toastmaster, Dean, conducted the meeting well and showed the guests how we Toastmasters make mistakes and learn from each other. Many thanks to all the assistants and to their great work.
 

Following is the list of the best performers of the Meeting 275th. 

The best speaker: Angela Liu

The best table topic speaker: Ashley Hsu

The best evaluator: Vincent Chang

We are going to have our first in-house speech contest ever since CYTC was founded in 2001. This is a major breakthrough and a new page for CYTC.

Everyone will be assigned a duty for this great event in our club. We are looking forward to the next meeting.

新聞標題：	嘉義國際英語演講會拜會陳市長
新聞內容：	成立一年半的嘉義國際英語演講會上午拜會市長陳麗貞，希望讓市民 朋友及市府員工有機會認識嘉義國際英語演講會，一起加入全民學習 英語的行列。陳市長向該社團創會會長嘉義大學副校長余玉照表示， 學習英語要多說、多聽、多寫，希望該社團能推廣全民學習英語管道 ，提升社會競爭力。 嘉義國際英語演講會創會會長余玉照等人，上午由教育局長林清強陪 同，拜會市長陳麗貞，雙方就英語學習議題進行意見交流。會長余玉 照表示，嘉義國際英語演講會是中華民國國際演講協會的一個分會， 全台目前有六十個分會，會員都是社區民眾。它是雲嘉地區一個提供 市民開口說英語，訓練溝通與領導能力的非營利性社團組織。 余會長指出，分會會員包括包括教育界人士、醫生、上班族、家庭主 婦、學生等，於每個月的第二和第四個星期三晚上在嘉義大學林森校 區進修部二樓會議室開會。除了不定期舉行訓練講習課程，每次開會 的議程包括備稿演講、講笑話、即席機智問答、以及講評等，所有各 項活動皆以英語進行，並採用國際總會之訓練方式。 英語是世界性的語言，台灣加入WTO之後，英語對所有民眾而言， 更加重要；過去學校英語教育重視文法，不重視溝通，學習者只會讀 、不會聽、不敢講。「英語演講會」提供訓練開口說好英語的環境， 彌補過去英語教育不足之處。余會長歡迎大家加入英語演講會，把握 這個難得的學習機會。 資料來源：http://www.chiayi.gov.tw/web/administration/main10_list.asp?ano=11917
