俱乐部中也有第一次尝试演讲的中学生,他们认真积极地练习并参加比赛。演讲俱乐部还在策划面向全校的TEDx活动,以展示演讲之美,让每个人都能有尝试的机会。我们不断地收到来自其他学生想要加入的申请,我们很高兴,并期待能与他们一起合作,扩大我们的团队,让更多对演讲感兴趣的学生加入进来。无论他们喜欢什么形式的演讲,我们都非常欢迎。


We also had middle schoolers who are attempting speech for the first time, eagerly practicing and attending tournaments. Looking ahead to spring, the Speech Club is planning a TEDx event for the whole school as a showcase for speech. We’ve been receiving requests from our classmates to join and are ecstatic to work with potential new members.   We hope to expand our club to include more students interested in speech, regardless of which type or form. We love every kind of oration.
