Today I had only been there one hour, so I missed the Table Topics. I found that I could understand what they said in general. In the following Members‘ Speeches, I will try to retell one speaker‘s funny speech. Oh, today‘s word is humanized[‘hj?m?n,a?z].

Members‘ Speeches

The speech comes from Rubio‘s AC Speech. He could make it very interesting, and make us laugh. I try to do it.

Now, start.

I will give you four stories. First, dad and daughter. One day, Dad told his daughter ‘Honey, let‘s go for a drive. I am the driver.‘ ‘OK, dad.‘ said daughter. So they drove on the road, but dad chose a road which has bad scenery. Daughter complained: ‘Dad, what road do you choose? It‘s so boring.‘ ‘Shut up, I am the driver.‘ Dad shouted suddenly.(Now the audience was silent. And Rubio continued his speech, just like nothing happened.) Second, An Indian couple (Rubio told the story in Indian English all the time, so it was really funny). One evening, Wife said to his husband ‘Honey, let me cook for you.‘ ‘No, I don‘t want to make you tired. Let me do.‘ ‘Ok, you do.‘ Finally Husband made dinner, but Wife tasted a bite and complained ‘What have you cooked? It‘s too terrible.‘ ‘Shut up. I am the cooker.‘ Husband shouted suddenly, too.(Still silent). OK, my four stories have been finished (We audience feel astonished). 

The TMC host said to Rubio ‘You should tell four stories, where are the other two?‘ ‘Shut up. I am the speaker‘ Rubio shouted suddenly. (So we completely understood what he spoke and what his style was.)

(Laughter and applause)

I think Rubio is one of the most facetious members in TMC, Jinan. And his English level is the same as his humor skill. Here attached a study note of Neo who is a TMC member (VPE).

Conclusions

Due to IELTS which will start on 7th November, Qingdao, I will miss the next TMC which will be held on 6th November, Jinan. Hope to get 6 band in IELTS exam, because HKU needs it on 1st December. Ok, that‘s fine. I like to watch Boonie Bears.
