It took TM A. T. five minutes or so to come to the punch line. His story telling technique was smashing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Prepared Speech Session<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 TMOD asked all the speakers to answer the following question: \u201cWhat is your recent happy experience?\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The First Speaker: TM T.

As a result, in place of TM A. U., a lady living in Okinawa has been making reservation for about one year. Isn\u2019t this amazing?

My son and my daughter in law sent me a pot of carnation and a bulb of four-leaved clover from San Francisco. Also, my daughter took me to Mimi-u restaurant I like and we ate Udonsuki. After eating, she took me to a lingerie shop and bought me some lingerie to straighten up my body. They are effective.\u201d The speech title was \u201cMake friends with something in common.\u201d She used her own personal experiences of making friends. She showed us some examples.
