Toastmasters Club Taster Session (Term 2, 2019–20)

The Toastmasters Club Taster Sessions have been organised by the College to encourage our students to improve public speaking skills through peer sharing of tips on oratory, prepared and impromptu speeches and peer evaluation and support.

A session was organised on 15 January 2020 with the assistance of our student coordinators, Mr LEUNG Wai Jid Joshua, Ms YANG Siyuan and Mr YAU Adam Ching Yiu.

Participants were invited to practise English public speaking through a warm-up group exercise and short impromptu speeches related to the theme ‘New Year, New Me?’ They received feedback from facilitators, which were usually the student coordinators, on different aspects of their speeches, such as voice, gestures and content.
