Introduction Sessions to Toastmasters Club

CW Chu College and Wu Yee Sun College, working together and with the help of experienced members of the Toastmasters community, launched a series of activities that will hopefully lead up to the formation of a Toastmasters Club for the two colleges in the academic year 2013–14.

Four introduction sessions were organized in spring 2013 which aimed at introducing students to the activities.

Social English Workshop
Three sessions of Social English Workshop were organized on 7 March (Thursday), 21 March (Thursday) and 9 April 2013 (Tuesday). The sessions were led by Mr Patrick Gilbert and were intended to assist students to use appropriate 'globalised' etiquette and English involving different people from all around the world, and for different types of social occasions: casual, semi-formal and formal. Students had opportunities to learn, discuss and role-play. College teachers also provided port and cheese during the sessions.
