598th Meeting

The club posted its own write-up that week. Some of what it said, in the words it used:

she would like to catch boys’ sights, she chose a pink sweater on line finally. After she opening the package, she found that the sweater was not pink, but the color she hated since childhood, it was red, and she felt so disappointed.

one time, the delivery guy just carried that water I bought and left it at the gate of my apartment, when I wasn’t at home, and the water was much strong heavy for me to carry. Finally I got so angry that I had a complaint with JD after-sales service.

Table Topic

Just like Eric brother said, Nowadays, people who are full of pressure and anxiety in working time. After they finish the daily work, they also feel lonely and empty when they are alone. so when the shopping day comes, it is so excited for people to take an action on shopping, they buy goods online to fulfill their inner heart, this kind of actions also can kill their emptiness and loneliness. So what about you? why do you shop? Have fun or not?

An unpleasant shopping experience from our president Eva! When Eva studied in university, most of her female friends liking shopping on line much, they used Ali pay and Wechat pay for shopping online, and on their friends’ mind, Eva is traditional buyer, because she never buy goods online. Someday, something happen to her, she would like to catch boys’ sights, she chose a pink sweater on line finally. After she opening the package, she found that the sweater was not pink, but the color she hated since childhood, it was red, and she felt so disappointed.

Our handsome brother Allen said, No one can stop Jack Ma making money, and he wanted to be a person like Jack Ma. He does like the way of shopping. Besides, He dreams of creating a further great shopping way than Jack Ma, I hope he can really come up with fantastic idea, thanks god!

Popular guest Daniel: My thought on shopping! A few years ago, Amazon was a big retail store online, it costed much tax and time for Chinese customers shopping online. Nowadays, Alibaba and JD.com become stronger than Amazon, it is very easy for people to buy things online. As a customer, you just need to pay money and leave address for the seller, then the express would take the goods to your apartment, quite convenient and save your time.

Complain online shopping from Carol! Somebody mentioned online shopping is quite convenient, One time, the delivery guy just carried that water I bought and left it at the gate of my apartment, when I wasn’t at home, and the water was much strong heavy for me to carry. Finally I got so angry that I had a complaint with JD after-sales service.

Prepared Speech

How to say it?

By Nathan Zhang

There are three different parts in how to say it, including of warm up, make a self-introduction, and make a speech. Warm up game can be very easy with your body language. Self -introduction, just like, What is your name? Where are you from? It is More like Free talk in conversation.

But if you want to deliver a prepared speech, you must be a member of toastmaster. Each member should follow two manuals: competent communication skill and competent leadership, and you have chance to make public speeches.

It is your first step to as a ice breaker by your courage, but it is not enough; second step, you should speak with guts, make prepared speeches.

when you make speeches in public, the evaluator would tell you the disadvantage point, so whether you are distinguish or not in your performance, enjoy each project you make, enjoy each fantastic moment you make.

My thought on Toastmaster

By Sunny Wang

Everyone knows that she already focus on English speeches over two years, but she still thinks her pronunciation is not good enough.

As a good officer, she is very nice, positive and reliable. Every time she made speech passionate and active, our fellows love her so much; just like her said, it is not easy to make cc1 to cc10 speech, but she did it, because she wants to be a better one, she wants to create a fantastic life, so she tries her effort to make gorgeous performance, she said, no pain no gain.

And as a best seller, face to face to talk with her customer, then make the contract deal, she is becoming more persuasive with her customers because of public speeches in Toastmaster. She gets the shining point from here, she said, ONCE Toastmaster, FOREVER Toastmaster.

What a lovely person, and we do all believe ‘A man may go faster, but team gets further’. So welcome to join us, be a person like Sunny.
