In fact, when I first heard about Toastmasters Club, I was more curious, confused and yearning. The first time I heard the name of the course, the first time I heard the information from the lecturer, the first time I heard the content and structure of the course, and many other puzzles made me doubt before the course began. The speaker is Ma Zhenxin, the executive president of the famous Guangzhou Speech and Eloquence Promotion Association. He has more than a dozen titles, which makes me curious about the teacher and makes me look forward to the course more.
At seven o'clock in the evening, class started on time, and the handsome teacher Ma Zhenxin and we arrived as scheduled. The unexpected opening way of breaking the ice, Ma Zhenxin established such a belief for us, and the speech should open our eyes, voices, gestures, expressions, hearts and thoughts. Friends who have studied public speaking all know the phrase "Action produces emotion, and emotion affects action". Teacher Ma Zhenxin drives our actions with his own actions and constantly creates a happy field for us. Give us an example. The most important thing for those who sing well and dare to sing is to speak. If you want to learn the same speech well, the most important thing is to say. As Churchill, a famous British politician, said: As many people as one can talk to, you have achieved much. Don't worry that you can't speak well, just do it yourself and say, "just do it, the better you do it;" Just talk. The more you talk, the better. "
Speaking in public is even listed as the most terrible thing in the world by psychologists, and the second place is death. This shows how afraid people are of speaking in public. In the evening, Mr. Ma Zhenxin told us about his experiences of roller coaster, haunted house and barefoot fire escape, and conveyed a belief to us: if you are afraid, do it, and you will succeed if you break through. Because of my inner fear, it shows that the opportunity to prove myself has come. Allow yourself to try, make mistakes and fail when doing things. Usually, people only want to believe what they want to believe. Teacher Ma Zhenxin said that the power of faith is often divided into three categories. First, don't believe, you see the other party has achievements, don't believe, question or refute; Second, seeing is believing, that is, seeing each other's achievements, from initial suspicion to belief; Third, if you believe, you will see, that is, because you believe in each other, you can better see each other's achievements. Only by going beyond the limit and believing in strength can we see more growth and progress. In order to make us believe in the power of self-confidence, the teacher gave us each a pencil, in pairs. One person holds the pencil in both hands, and the other person stands in a lunge, with the index finger raised above his head and falling quickly, and cuts off the pencil in the opposite person's hand with the force of the index finger falling. Before we started, in order to let us overcome our inner distractions, Mr. Ma Zhenxin asked us to close our eyes and shout out loudly, "The more you breathe, the more powerful you are; My fingers are steel plates; Double pressure, a hundred times more strength ",let the heart forget unnecessary distractions. "Pencil sharpening with forefinger" strengthens our inner sense of achievement and builds the power of faith.
Whether you can speak in public has a lot to do with the team. In order to enhance our sense of team achievement, Mr. Ma Zhenxin randomly divided more than 30 people into four groups, and asked each group to choose a team leader and determine the team name, slogan and team song. When each group presents, everyone is required to sing four team songs together. I was assigned to the third group. After discussion, we decided that the captain-Gao Shuai, the team name-Cosmos Knight, the slogan-Cosmos Knight is full of fighting spirit, the team song-my future is not a dream. At the end of the grouping, after the captain, team name, slogan and team song are established, each group enters a tense PK link. The teacher said that the first group was awarded the ultimate prize, totaling *** 1000 yuan. For the honor of the team, for the ultimate prize, we, the knights of the universe, began to challenge. The first eight questions are required, followed by *** 12 questions. Our newly established team, in order to win and win the final prize, has virtually formed an invisible magnetic field in our hearts. When we get the right answer, we celebrate each other, and when we get the wrong answer, we encourage each other. For the ultimate goal, everyone's heart is United and team consciousness is enhanced. After the first 20 questions, our team is far ahead. The last item is also the highlight of the evening's class. The teacher typed six numbers on the screen and told us that each number was followed by an impromptu speech topic, and the team that came out later drew lots for the team that came out first. The selected number will be followed by the corresponding video material. Prepare for each group 1 min, and choose two people to give a speech 1 min. Unfortunately, our team finally lost in the impromptu speech. In fact, in the end, it doesn't matter to our team whether I am flattered or not. Short PK, we helped and encouraged all the way for the same goal, and the appeal and cohesion of the team came into being. In this sense, we won.
At the end of the course, teacher Ma Zhenxin gave each of us a sentence: a person's talent, words are the best proof; A person's words determine the height of future life.
After nearly three hours of "Speech Club", everyone was completely immersed in the field created by the teacher. Although the time is short, the harvest is full. Let me know that the speech is not terrible. Take off the mask of inner fear, release inner distractions, believe in your inner energy, do it, practice it, and the speech will surely advance by leaps and bounds.
Although this year's "Speech Club" course is over, at this time, the New Mile Tianjin Speech Club was established. In the future, I will continue to exercise my public speaking ability in the New Mile Tianjin Speech Club, correct my shortcomings, overcome my inner fears and realize the leap-forward development of my speaking ability.
