Due to the unavailability of the meeting room, we had to resort to a wednesday night instead. Since the attendance was low, we headed straight into project speeches. They are: Yeh Vin, Aivee, Swea Phin and Swea Ching. All gave a wonderful and entertaining speech.
Then, we had a session of Table Topics. After one round, we gave Swea Phin ‘training’ for the public speaking contest which offers a trip to London. There were open evaluations as everyone gave points on how Swea Phin could improve. Just in case you need them again, Swea Phin, here’s some of it:
1. Establish more eye contact
2. Keep to the topic(Don’t go off-topic)
3. Think in English
4. Facial expression(Don’t smile too much when it’s a serious topic)
5. Think of points out of the box(Impress judges)
6. Greet audience&judges sincerely
7. Keep your speech short
8. Relate by personal experience
9. Do not move right and left
That’s all for the meeting this time. To Swea Phin: I, on behalf of the club, would like to wish you the best of luck for the competition and congratulations on being the first Competent Gavelier in the 1st Malaysian Gavel Club!
Lastly, our Installation Dinner shall be held on 21st April 2007.
