From the group chat

“哈哈哈,我鼓起勇气上去了一把,本来想选family,结果给了个collegue,脑子一片空白,讲得好差[偷笑]”

“看着Fish跟Tao打着伞肩并肩回家的身影,突然好感动[流泪][流泪][流泪]”

“临时会议群可以直接发照片,family群是需要存储群相册以备未来资源使用”

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

she talked about the scenario that if her ex-boyfirend loves her best friend, what would she do? she simulated a conversation with her bestfriend, and congratulated them, her fast reaction and excellent performance won audiences’ big applauses.

She shared with us her two main experience of being volunteer. She accumulated the experiences and also the confidence through the past, and don’t give up easyly, any problem is no problem for her.

0Introduction

The meeting host was Louis Liu, an old member and a newbie as master. He was well prepared and bold enough to challenge the new role. Wonderful performance!

1 Table Topic Section

The table topic speech session was hosted by Megan Luo. She has nice pronunciation, and fluent spoken English, also the topics were critical. About relationship, ex-boyfriend, office romance, family relationship, strangers…. really tortures of soul, six bold speakers delivered their short speeches around these topics. Eventually, Erica won the best impromptu speaker, she talked about the scenario that if her ex-boyfirend loves her best friend, what would she do? she simulated a conversation with her bestfriend, and congratulated them, her fast reaction and excellent performance won audiences’ big applauses.

2 Prepared Speeches

Then there were two prepared speakers. The first one was Frank Zhou, his title was “How to negotiate a pay raise?”. He told us three elements: well preparation, right time, and show aprreciation. And most important, company need you! So not everyone has the weight to negotiate with boss, think twice. The second one was Sunny Wang, her title was “Glad to be volunteer‘’. She shared with us her two main experience of being volunteer. She accumulated the experiences and also the confidence through the past, and don’t give up easyly, any problem is no problem for her.

3 Guest Sharing Time

During break time, we had guest sharing time, Stella held this part, there were nine guests joining the meeting, they eager to practise spoken English and make friends, it is the right palce, welcome all the guests and look forward to join as a member.

4 Workshop

The most expected part was workshop part, brought by大胖老师. He taught us a appliable time and enegy management method——The Tomato Technique. Nowadays, with the devolopment of society, time period is more important than time point, work time has elasticity, so it depends on us to manage it. To summarize, sorting the things by importance, do the most important thing at first and quickly, focus on the first 25 minutes to do it, and then rest for 5 minutes, then focus on next 25 minutes to do the less important thing, by order. Priority and focus are two key words. 大胖老师 presented the workshop very clearly and we learned it quickly. Back to home, we need to divid the time and count down. It was a very applialbe method, and it was our honor to learn from 大胖老师,thanks so much to his precious workshop. Now he is a professional coach of time management, if you have the need, you can search on the social media and contact him.
