It’s not easy to make up an adventurous story without any preparation. That is what I did at my first time in Toastmaster. The president gave a story starting with two passengers negligently exchanging their luggage at the airport, and then called up each name to continue the story from last person. Increasingly, the story turned into a gangster movie after finding 1 million dollars of drug money in one of the bags. I was the person supposed to close the story by giving an impressive ending. But forgive me anyhow, the ending is ugly.
At least, I took a significant step towards public speaking and learned a lot from other speakers. Communication is not just about the language. To grasp audiences’ attention immediately and constantly is an art. To become a competent public speaker is by deliberate practice. I started to enjoy it ~
