The meeting for the end of Septemer seemed not quite active at first,
but turned out to be as good as usual over the time.
We had two new comers, Julie and Bruno who he said was once here long ago.
On top of thoes new comers, there were Napoli, Anne, Erin, Seeker, Sun, and Field.
Throughtout this class, I was wondering what would make classes intriquing, exciting and compeling. In spite of that downward atmosphere, we all tried to encourage the class to be brighter and happier. Thanks to the other members' positive help, we could lead it into revitalized one.
As a toastmaster, Field felt sorry not to tell chilly jokes which I guess made the members smiling and joyous--(Did I get wrong^^.)
Anne played a brilliant role even though the theme she raised for the table topic of the day appeared rather tough; Saving the international marriage. Her smile and sometimes bewildering look could guided the session the desirable way.
The main point of the session was ' What should be done in the wake of the increasing rates of divorce among couples, who are ones between mostly Korean rural men and girls from Southeast Asian countries. Some of their marriages were reported to end up being broke finally, beating and blaming one another.
We all agreed with the idea of international marriage itself, but with its processes, and the problems resulting from them, we argued that there would be a long way to go in moving forward.
As the third speaker, Erin-as you know she is from Michigan and majored in English literature there-refreshingly choked us from explaining the develpoed process of English language. She described that English language had transformed into four stages; old English, mid, older modern and modern. Seeing from a bundle of hand-outs, she must have been working on her topic very hard. Despite her efforts, unfortunately, the topic seemed already known to us, and almost causing to yawn.
Luckily, we, however,could learn a lot from her how to describe and organize the topic. That must be the bitter fruit we achieved. In the process, she turned as red as a lobster at times whe she lost her tember in explaining something. In all, she did a great job.
As the last guest speaker, Napoli brought a pack of yogurt and a box of cookies brand-named 'Chicchok' and took us into a hotly competing mood by bombarding us unexpected grammar quizzes, which were mostly based on 'Titinic and FIFA World Cup'.
The Quiz Winner of the day was Bruno, a newcomer. Saddly, he grabbed most of cookies and yogurt out her hands. The quiz session ended up happily as usual.
After wrapping up all the process, we teamed up to have Samgyubsal pork and beer in the nearby Home Plus store. On the threshold of the Fall, the weaher was cool enough to grill pork over some beer and talk about the behind stories happening in the class and our lives. Making sure that we had a great time, we said, "Bye" to one another and walked away for their sweet homes.
"Life deserve to be lived"
Thanks for reading through my first writing on our regular meeting!
