*Toastmasters* by Panna Moloabi

What is Toastmasters?

Toast Masters is a 8 week course which focuses specifically on public speaking. I loved Toastmaster because it taught me how to be confident. Over the weeks, we had to come to school every Thursday from 6pm to 8pm. The first day,we were told to think of three topics and make a speech out of one. The next week we had loads of fun presenting out speeches and being taught about speech evaluation. During the 7 weeks, were judged on which role we should do on the final Toastmasters evening. Were were all told what our roles would be in week 6. We worked extremely hard at memorising our parts for those of us who had to introduce someone. On the evening, we had great fun introducing our friends onto the stage to present their wonderful prepared and/or unprepared speeches. Our Madam Toastmaster of the evening, Lufuno, did an excellent job at welcoming us onto the stage! I was assigned the role of the course overview with Zizi and it was so much fun. I also presented an unprepared speech I front of our parents and teachers. Toast Masters was a blast and I wish I could do it again!
