Dear Friends,
Some words untill feelings are fresh ...
Yesterday we restored a tradition to implement the role of General Evaluator. To my mind it was really positive gaining. The Evaluation of the meeting in general conclude the entire impression. Whilst the appraisal of delivered evaluation drives everybody's attention to the idea how significant the evaluation is.
Yesterday were announced most active EBA members in September:
Lucy Povaliy, 24 balls - 1-st position
Svitlana Stavska, 23 balls - 2-nd place
Anna Naleskina, 19 ball - the 3-rd.
Just to remind You: Speaker - 10 balls, Table topic Session Master and General Evaluator - 8 balls, Toastmaster - 7 balls, Speech and TTS Evaluator - 6 balls, Grammarian - 5 balls, Ah-counter - 2 balls and Timer - 1 ball.
Thanks a lot to Mike Bedwell for being our Grammarian yesterday. Some useful tips from his report, just to improve the command of our language:
I'll be brief .... instead of I'll be short ...
Explaine to us ... instead of Explaine us ...
Be attantive to ... instead of Pay attention to ...
Give attention ....
He also reminded how to use correctly a simple but useful grammatical construction:
If I had (time), I would (go for a walk).
I've never dreamed to ba a blogger, but Toastmasters Club practice revealed some new features in my nature.
Among newly discovered traits - a propensity to write some hot afterward impressions.
Thanks and regards,
Anna Naleskina
