First Experience as a Table Topics Master

#136

Meeting #601 in Chennai Wordsmiths Toastmasters Club was my very first experience as a Table Topics Master on December 5, 2020. Today, I'd like to share the theme I chose for that session as well the topics.

Script:

Fellow Toastmasters & Guests. You’re going to have an opportunity to participate in one of the most

interesting and exciting segments of a Toastmasters Meeting -- The Table Topics session! So, I'll be giving some of you a topic on which you have to speak for 1-2 mins. The timer will show the green card at 1 minute, yellow at 1 minute 30 seconds and the red card at 2 minutes, after which please wrap up your speech within 30 seconds.

I encourage both members and guests to give it a shot. If you can, please try to use the word of the day 'embrace' and the theme of the day 'acceptance'.

For today's table topics session i have decided to choose a sub theme which is 'hypothetical situations'. It is: "You wake up one day and you realise..."

Topic 1:

You wake up one day and you realise you have transformed into a car. What kind of car do you think you'd be and why?

Topic 2:

You wake up one day and you realise you have 15 minutes left before earth is destroyed. What do you do?

Topic 3:

You wake up one day and you realise you are James Bond.

Topic 4:

You wake up one day and you realise you have the power to add one thing to the world and remove one thing from it. What would you choose?

Topic 5:

You wake up one day and you realise you have transformed into a character in your favourite TV show. Who would you be and why?

Topic 6:

You wake up one day and you realise you are 2 feet tall. What would your day look like?

Thank you all very much for participating in today’s Table Topics segment. I really enjoyed all your speeches. I return the control of the meeting to the Toastmaster of the Day.
