In-house Humorous Speech Contest |
We held In-house Humorous Speech Contest on Sep. 25, Sat.
The result was as follows
1st place winner: TM Shigeko Tanioka
2nd place winner: TM Heita Hayashi
3rd place winter: TM Yoshibumi Mizuno
TM Tanioka represents our club and proceeds
to the Area 43 Humorous Speech Contest to be held on Oct. 10.
What is your impression?
I was very delighted to take part in the yearly In-house Humorous Speech
Contest on Sep. 25th. Though the skills of humorous speech are very difficult
to grasp, the speakers really made me laugh a lot by their wonderful speeches.
In addition, since the content of humorous speech is quite different from
the speech of the regular meeting, I was able to see the speakers’ another
kind of performance. So as a new member, I think I’m a lucky dog! By the
way, according to the speeches, I think maybe the personal experiences
will attract the audiences more. In a word, I enjoyed the contest so much
that I would also like to attend it in the future.
