Emily's Escapades

China Advanced Toastmasters (CAT) held its humorous speech and table topics club contest tonight. I placed 3rd in the table topics contest. In table topics, you are read a question and then must give a 1-2 minute impromptu speech on it.

Delphy, Chris and Syna.

Delphy won the contest with a speech about Chinese culture. It was very funny – how fighting on the subway is actually just preparing for the Olympics and such. The topic was “Flexibility” and she did a great job of making the whole speech have a point, and using humor to get it across. Some humorous speeches only try to be funny and have no point. Hers had both. I’m excited to see how she polishes it for the Area contest!
