GE Report

Room and accomodations

A/C was a little loud, but was switched on and off as appropriate by members

Good seating, just enough for the members and guests with a few more empty spots for latecomers

The center aisle is a little crowded with the camera there. If the camera is not in use, it might be better to take it away.

Please keep the PPT off if not in use as it is distracting

Brad (TME)

Keep your stories and comments focused. Its good that you make reflections and comments about what people had to say, but take it a step further and use what was last said to transition into the next topic.

Keep transitions smooth, don’t say the same sentence, or use the same structure twice. After asking the person to come up to the stage, don’t say anything more until they take the stage. Wait for them to come up, don’t go off the stage of to the side to meet them.

Spike (TTE)

Good acronyms. ‘SS’ Simple Structure ‘PREP’ Point, Reason, Example, Point.

Good use of PREP structure to give feedback. Specific examples are important.

Good to point out good use of ‘vivid’ laguage.

Peter Wan (IE C9)

Good insight about ‘3 parts to persuade’, followed by examples of how speaker demonstrated each section.

Good suggestion of how to improve the ‘power’ of their speech

Joe He (IE C9)

Good examples of how speaker used concrete proof with photos and statistics.

Good examples of how speaker choose a good topic to connect with the audience and appeal to their emotions

Remember to discuss why good habits are important? Why do we want to connect with the audience? So that our messages have more impact and are received more effectively by the audience.

Christine Grammarian

Good example of how to use word of the day, you included a lot of information about it

The writing on your paper is too small, it is impossible to read the smaller fonts

Rowain Ah Counter

Good interaction with the audience

Good explanation of Ah counters function, and why the role is important.

Edgar Timer

Good job, no comments

我们新的officer今天正式上任了啊，这里奉上小小的文章，图文并茂哦。

在Toastmasters这个非营利组织，每半年俱乐部的officer会换届选举一次，昨天在People’s Square Toastmasters是新officer team第一次整体登场的会议，主题设定为beginning，也是极为贴切。有几大亮点：

1.新主席Spike的首次president’s opening，今后的半年里，每次的会议开场都会看到他的身影。

2.即将奔赴美国读MBA的Brad第一次担任Toastmaster of Evening（主持人），也是他最后一次在我们俱乐部亮相，看到我的相机，他马上摆起了pose，镜头感还是很强嘛。

3.俱乐部曾经的主席Yingdan给大家做了一个关于time investment的分享，时长20分钟，环节设计得非常巧妙，故事开头，穿插练习（放背景音乐），最后以让人思考回味的测试结束（小小会再写篇文专门介绍此次分享）

4.有两位会员做了C9演讲，由于上个term的积累，在今后这半年里面会有大批的CC（完成10个演讲）涌现，图文会议结尾处，新主席Spike为Alex颁奖。
