Meeting #861

New year plan

DateTuesday, 10 January 2023

At Shenzhen Toastmasters' 861st meeting, members shared personal reflections on the meaning of Chinese New Year, years spent adapting to an English speaking environment, and accepting an introverted personality at work, plus a segment on photography techniques from Dave. Table Topics asked guests to respond to the theme of facing an uncertain 2023, drawing a mix of visitors including a middle school speech contest winner, and Fish, a former club president, won the round. The meeting closed with awards recognizing the night's presenters and hosts.

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

等长大出去上学工作以后才逐渐理解过年的意义是:千里归途,只为团圆。

起初来到 SZTM 俱乐部的时候,他无法理解别人说的英文,后来通过不断坚持参加不同俱乐部的活动,Mike 的英语水平有了突飞猛进。

直到一位八面玲珑的上司告诉她,你需要的是社交技能而不是改变你的性格,她才慢慢的接受并欣赏了自己的性格。

Leah 和我们分享了过年对于她的意义,小时候过年意味着新衣服、零花钱和零食。等长大出去上学工作以后才逐渐理解过年的意义是:千里归途,只为团圆。

Mike 分享了参加头马俱乐部的心路旅程。起初来到 SZTM 俱乐部的时候,他无法理解别人说的英文,后来通过不断坚持参加不同俱乐部的活动,Mike 的英语水平有了突飞猛进。

Amber 起初感觉这个世界对于内向者并不友好,有时在工作场所等她会感觉格格不入,并为是否应该改变自己的性格而烦恼,直到一位八面玲珑的上司告诉她,你需要的是社交技能而不是改变你的性格,她才慢慢的接受并欣赏了自己的性格。

Dave 不同的角度告诉我们摄影的必备要素:色彩对比,前景、大小,移动变换拍摄角度、黄金分割理论、虚实,曝光等。什么样的照片最能吸引你的目光呢?

Max 精心的在蓝色的盒子中备好了要随机抽签回答的问题。挥别 2022,迎接 2023,风云变幻,波诡云谲的社会下,你有怎样的感受和应对方式呢?

竞答嘉宾跃跃欲试,并驱争先。在台上展示大方展示自己的魅力。

Fish 第一个回答,充分显示了前主席的魅力和勇气,对答如流也是 Fish 勇夺当晚的即兴最佳。欢迎回归!

小姐姐的即兴回答流畅度完全不亚于 Fish,台风从容大气,对答如流,逻辑缜密。
