Steve Tung
is the District 67 Governor for Toastmasters International that comprises
104 Toastmasters Club in Taiwan. Good Morning! Steve. 董世瑜是第 67 區總會長，在台灣有 104 個演講會，早！ |
|
| ST: |
Good
Morning everyone. 大家早！ |
|
| RM: |
What is a
Toastmasters Club. 何謂演講會？ |
|
| ST: |
The
Toastmasters Club is where everyone can learn the communication and
leadership skills there. and, we have a mission that is always provide a
mutual learning environment. Most importantly! It is the positive way. 演講會是個人人都可以來學習領導與溝通的組織，我們提供相互學習的環境，更重要的是正面積極的態度。 |
|
| RM: |
People in
Taiwan, they use to improve their English. Do they join to have better
career choices, and better travel choices? Right? 在台灣，人們加入演講會來增進本身的英文能力，也藉此來獲得更好的職業及旅遊選擇，對嗎？ |
|
| ST: |
Oh! Yah!
Sure. 當然是的。 |
|
| RM: |
How does
Toastmasters club work? How does it operate? 演講會如何運作？ |
|
| ST: |
Actually,
we have our regular meetings. In every meeting, we have prepared Speech
session; we have Evaluation session; we have Table Topic session; and we
have Joke sessions. Most importantly, we do practice in our meeting;
every one practices their speaking skills by taking a variety of ROLES.
Roles like speaker or session master. 通常，我們有固定的例會。在例會中，我們有指定演講、講評時間、即席問答、開懷時間，會員們藉由擔任各個職務之便，在會內練習演講技巧。 |
|
| RM: |
How many
Toastmasters are there in Taiwan? 在台灣有多少會員？ |
|
| ST: |
I think
now we have more than three thousand members in Taiwan. 約有 3000 位會員。 |
|
| RM: |
How many
speaking skills are there? There is a book that every one follows,
right? There are ten steps to master public speaking? 有多少的演講技巧？有手冊可以遵循，對嗎？有十個基本步驟 |
|
| ST: |
Yes. We
have a manual called the Basic Communication and Leadership Program.
There are ten modules within the program. At the beginning, we tell the
speaker to do their Ice Breaker, then to tell them how to organize their
speech. Like how to say it using vocal varieties. Research their topics,
get comfortable with visual aids. Persuade with power. Inspire your
audience. Every project has different kind of objectives. 是的，我們有本「溝通與領導」手冊，手冊內有基本10講，講者可由「初試啼聲」、「由衷之言」、「調理分明」、「表情達意」、「抑揚頓挫」、「淺辭用字」、「學以致用」、「助勢添威」、「勸說誘導」、「激勵啟發」，循序漸進的上台演講，每個講次都有獨特的訓練重點。 |
|
| RM: |
I know
that there are foreigners who are members in some of these club People who
are native English speakers. (S.T. Yes) And people whose language is a
second language. 我知道有些外國人也加入了演講會，這些人原本就是英語系國家的人，但也有些人，英語是他們的第二外語。 |
|
| ST: |
Yes.
Mostly, we are not native English speakers here. But, through practicing,
we can improve a lot. 當然，大部分的會友都是非英語系國家的人民，但是經過練習，我們可以大幅地提升自己的英語能力。 |
|
| RM: |
Okay, so
you have here three thousand members over 104 clubs. And you are going to
Washington D. C. later in the year? 所以，在台灣有 3000 位會友分佈在 104 個分會內。您將在近期前往美國首府華盛頓？ |
|
| ST: |
Yes, we
will join the annual meeting in Washington D. C. There will be an
International speech contest; our District Winner is from Tai-chung
Wheelers Club, his name is Mr. Frankie Wu. We will go there, and, August
22 will be the speech contest. 是的，我們將在 8 月 22 日啟程參加在華盛頓舉行的演講比賽年會，我們 67 區的冠軍 - 台中飛輪英語演講會的 Frankie Wu，將代表台灣參賽。 |
|
| RM: |
Okay, how
to actively participate. Some one wants to go to a Toastmasters Club?
What level of English you have to have before you join? 如何參加演講會？需要具備什麼等級的英文能力？ |
|
| ST: |
That is
very interesting. Anyone is welcome to a Toastmasters club, no matter how
good or poor your English is. One of our member from Tai-chung, he is the
owner of a manufacturing plant; He only had primary school degree, i.e. no
English. Every time when he travels, he has to bring his secretary along
with him. The secretary always says: Ohh! No! She still has work to do. 這是個有趣的問題，不論您的英文能力如何，我們都歡迎您加入演講會。在台中，我們有位工廠老闆的會員，他只有小學程度，每次出國參展都要秘書同行，每次秘書都說：「幫幫忙！我還有其他事情要作」。 |
|
| RM: |
Probably
his wife is saying that also, don't bring the secretary. 我看他太太也會說：「別帶秘書去！」 |
|
| ST: |
This
member joined a Toastmasters club. Initially, he can only say a few
single words, now he can communicate fluently with foreign customers. 這位會員加入之初，只能講幾個英文單字，但是現在已經可以流利地和外國客戶交談了。 |
|
| RM: |
How often
are those meetings? 平常多久聚會一次？ |
|
| ST: |
Most club
meets twice a month. 大部分都是一個月聚會兩次。 |
|
| RM: |
Does every
body speak at a meeting? 在例會中，每個人都要發言嗎？ |
|
| ST: |
Sure, that
is important for everyone to practice. Even you are a guest, you are
requested to briefly introduce yourself about what is your name and where
you are from. 當然了！這是最好的練習機會，即使您是來賓，您還是需要簡單地自我介紹，諸如；姓名、從哪來...。 |
|
| RM: |
How
long does the meeting last? |
|
| ST: |
Mostly,
the meeting lasts about two hours. 通常都是兩個小時。 |
|
| RM: |
Okay. One
of the key, you say, to improving the English. Actually, this is not an
English club. This is public speaking club to improve the communication
skills. 好了！說到重點了，您剛才提到可以增進英文能力，實際上，演講會並不是英語俱樂部，演講會是練習溝通技巧的團體。 |
|
| ST: |
Actually,
most of the people in North America, Canada, Australia and England are
people who speak English as their native language. They still come to
Toastmasters club to lean how to communicate well. That is why we have
more than 11,000 clubs around the world. 事實上，居住在北美、加拿大、澳洲、英國等英語系國家的人民，他們還是來參加演講會學習溝通技巧，這就是全球有一萬一千個分會的原因。 |
|
| RM: |
How many
clubs are there in Taipei? 在台北有多少個分會？ |
|
| ST: |
We have
almost 40 clubs in Taipei. 約有 40 個分會。 |
|
| RM: |
So, like
Starbucks, you sure have a lot of Toastmasters clubs around here. So, you
had to join. But, you are allowed two times to observe before joining?
就像 星巴克 咖啡廳一般遍佈台北市，所以，在加入前，演講會還提供兩次免費入場的機會是嗎？ |
|
| ST: |
Yes, We
encourage audiences from ICRT to come to our club and observe our meeting,
free registration (admission) charges for the first two times. Just come
and visit any of our clubs through out Taiwan, and just say you are the
audience of Rick Monday, it will be free. 是的，我們提供 ICRT 的聽友們兩次免費聚會地機會，只要說明是 ICRT 的聽眾就可以了。 |
|
| RM: |
Okay. The
web site is Toastmasters, one-word, Toastmasters.org.tw 還有演講會的網站。 |
|
| ST: |
So, please
visit our web site, you will find when and where our club meets. 所以，歡迎參觀我們的網站，您可以找到最適合您加入的分會。 |
|
| RM: |
So, you
have 40 clubs in Taipei, How many are there in Tai-chung? |
|
| ST: |
I think,
we have around fifteen in Tai-chung. 台中地區有 15 個分會。 |
|
| RM: |
And, in
Kao-shiung? 高雄呢？ |
|
| ST: |
Kao-shiung?
I think around ten. 高雄地區約有 10 個分會。 |
|
| RM: |
So, Wah!
That's about one hundred and four clubs that you have to manage. |
|
| ST: |
Yes. So,
actually, we have clubs located in Hwa-lien, Hsin-Chu and Yun-Lin. 事實上，我們在花蓮、新竹、雲林也有分會。 |
|
| RM: |
How long
have you been a Toastmaster? 您加入演講會多久了？ |
|
| ST: |
I joined
the Toastmasters in 1998. And, we have five languages actually, not just
only English Clubs. We have clubs using Mandarin, Taiwanese, Japanese and
even Hakka languages. 我在 1998 年加入演講會，在台灣我們有使用 英語、日語、國語、閩南語、客語這五種語言聚會的分會。 |
|
| RM: |
You are
going to United States for English Conference. Is there any Mandarin
Conference? |
|
| ST: |
Yes,
actually, we will join in Macao. District 80 consists of Singapore, Hong
Kong and Macao. In Macao, there will be Mandarin speech contests. 是的，我們將參加 80 區的比賽，80區包含了 新加坡、香港、澳門，今年 80 區有國語組的比賽。 |
|
| RM: |
What's the
age limit? Do you have to be 18 before you become a Toastmaster? 加入演講會有年齡的限制嗎？ |
|
| ST: |
Yes, we
need people to be 18 years old before Toastmasters International will
admit them as member. But, we do not require any language proficiency
before you join. 是的，年滿 18 歲才可以加入演講會，但是我們並不要求加入者必須精通任何語言。 |
|
| RM: |
All right. Toastmasters, with an “s”.
www.toastmasters.org.tw. There is not eating of
toast at all. 注意，Toastmasters 要加上 s，演講會的網站是 www.toastmasters.org.tw。 |
|
| ST: |
Actually,
there was toast in the beginning. They toast for the promotion or farewell
or special events. So, they toast at the masters, therefore,
toastmasters. 事實上，Toast 原來是一種慶賀的場合，為了某些特別事件如高昇 等事件舉杯慶祝而這種場合的主持人就是 Toastmaster。 |
|
| RM: |
The
meeting is two hour, at what time the meeting begin? 每次例會時間兩小時，請問例會是幾點開始？ |
|
| ST: |
Most of
the clubs meet from 7 to 9 pm. 絕大部份的分會都是晚上 7 點 到 9 點聚會。 |
|
| RM: |
And, after
that, people will get together to have a meal informally? 例會結束後，有「會後會」的聯誼活動嗎？ |
|
| ST: |
After the
meeting, people may go to what we call the second round, get together to a
coffee shop, to have meal, etc. 例會結束後，我們會到咖啡廳聚會，喝咖啡、吃點小點心。 |
|
| RM: |
The name
of the representative from Taiwan to speak at Washington D. C. What is
his name? Frankie, what? 到華盛頓參賽的會友，大名是？ |
|
| ST: |

Wu. 吳紀澤 |

Actually,
Frankie has to choose the topic. Since there will be international people
there. Frankie's topic will choose a theme that will contain some
entertaining aspect in it. 紀澤將選的演講題目和國際化有關並會注入一些趣味性的娛樂效果 |
