Hello World，Hello Toastmaster
2013年7月24日V1.2
Good evening ladies and gentlemen，I’m jason，Tonight I am So excited and neveous，because this is my first speech Ice Break in toastmaster, It is very precious opportunity for me to introduce myself to everyone,Hope My story would not let everyone bored.
My speech’s topic is Hello World, Hello Toastmaster, I’m programmer,”hello world” is the first step when all programmers to learn new programing language, ”Hello World” is simplest function that uses new programming language to show this sentence”hello world”,,if you can do this,that means you have learned the new programming language,
,So,Hello Toastmaster means I am able to start my jounery in toastmaster
The Aim of IceBreak is to let everyone know more myself,But I think I never understand myself,so I will introduce myself briefly,My Chinese Name is Zhangjunying, But my personality doesn't like my name,sometime I think I just like a sheep,I come from a country in Jiaozuo Of henan,In my hometown has many landscapes,t he most famous is YunTaiShan,In university My major is information management and information System ,I lived in ZhengZhou for five years,and in 2010 I came to Beijing,
The focus of the speech is why I come to Toastmaster,Because I fear public speaking,this maybe one reason why I choose to be programmer,because as a programmer ,we need to face the computer for long time,less time to talk with someone, sometime I like this peace life,and nobody trouble me.
But when I join some activities,I will feel nerveous,I fear to express my view,I fear to communication with somebody,most of the time I am a follower ,sometime I also think I choose to be a programer maybe in order to evade this problem.
Tonight I will talk two stories,the first one happened in junior high school, Our teacher asked everyone to prepare a program for the new year’s day,the program can be any style and form,if someone didn’t prepare a program,he must clean the classroom after the meeting,at last only two classmates cleaned the classroom,I am one,the second story took place in middle school,In a music lession,our music teacher asked me to sing a song ,only for a sentence, althought my teacher asked me for serveral times,But I just stood up for a few minutes in classroom, I did not dare to sing a song in classroom.
these stories has passed more than ten years,but deeply affected me,Now I think of me in that time was funny very much.
One chance I know the toastmaster,before I came to toastmaster,I thought it just only for people to improve english level,but when I come here as guest for several times,I found toastmaster is an imporant club,it not only can improve my english level , communication skills,
cultivate our leadship,more important is to improve my confidence to do something that I fear to do before,
And club members treat me warm, they tolerate my mistake ,they gave me a lot of help and suggestions, encourage me to practice more.
Now,when I make a speech I am still nerveous, My level of public speaking and communication skills are still bad,but I am no longer fear it,I can face it ,no longer evade these problems.
Here I must thank you， thank liubing,dana,jason,gillian gave my help and suggestion in my first several times,and I especial want to thank my mentor Sujunxi give me many suggestions for my every speech., this is my icebreak ,Thank you again.
