[Spark TMC] Let’s discover the exciting world of "Esports" together. (Sep 10th 2026)

noreply@blogger.com (Spark Toastmasters Club) — Wed, 09 Sep 2026 06:07:34 +0000

Hi, Spark的小火花們與各位朋友們大家好:

您知道最近剛在台北開唱的日本超人氣偶像山田涼介嗎？他不只是位優秀的歌手與演員，因為遊戲實力太強，他甚至還加入了日本頂尖的職業電競戰隊！原來我們日常接觸的手機遊戲或電玩，早已發展成連頂級明星都為之瘋狂的全球正式競賽了。

韓國的Faker更被譽為世界電競第一人, 更是接了一連串的代言.

但你知道, 電競不單純只是打電動, 還要強調訓練, 戰術, 以及團隊活動嗎專業的電競選手, 每天都要訓練10小時以上, 才能夠站上世界舞台, 電競, 比你想的要多更多!

本期會議我們一起來認識什麼是「電競（Esports）」。

從當紅日本偶像的跨界，到台灣平均 60 幾歲的阿公阿嬤組成戰隊登上舞台。現場也將透過輕鬆的即席問答，讓大家分享自己對這個新興潮流的看法。

無論您是天天手遊不離身，還是從來沒碰過電腦遊戲，這都是一場能讓您輕鬆長知識、開拓視野的小聚會，歡迎大家一起來共襄盛舉！

日期：9/10(四)

時間：19:30~20:30

地點：台北市北投區石牌路二段115號9F（石牌捷運站1號出口，步行約6分鐘即可抵達）

以下這兩題, 請與會的工作人員回答, 並且在會議前提早將您的答案傳給主持人

Q1: 台灣現在有一群 60、70 歲的阿公阿嬤組成戰隊，登上舞台學習新事物。大家常說『活到老，學到老』，您自己是如何在日常生活中，保持對世界的好奇心，並持續學習或服務身邊的人呢？

Q2: 像日本明星山田涼介，他不只演戲唱歌厲害，私底下還把遊戲打到專業等級。在現在這個時代，您如何看待一個人『跨界發展』、把興趣做到極致的態度？

Hi! Dear friends and Sparks,

Did you know that Japanese pop star Ryosuke Yamada, who just performed in Taipei, is also a professional esports player? He is an amazing singer and actor, but his gaming skills are so good that he was invited to join a top Japanese esports team! It turns out that gaming is no longer just a hobby—it has become a global sport that even superstars are passionate about.

In South Korea, a player named Faker is celebrated as the "King of Esports" and has landed countless major brand endorsements. But esports is more than just playing video games. It takes intense training, strategy, and teamwork. Professional players actually train for over 10 hours a day to make it to the world stage. Esports is so much more than you think!

In this meeting, let’s discover the exciting world of "Esports" together.

From Japanese idols crossing over to gaming, to Taiwanese grandpas and grandmas in their 60s forming their own team, we will explore it all! We will also have a fun Table Topics session where everyone can share their thoughts on this new trend.

Whether you play mobile games every day or have never touched a computer game, this is a cozy gathering to learn something new and expand your horizons. Come join the fun!

Date : Thursday, Sep 10th, 2026

Time : 7:30 PM – 8:30 PM

Address : 9F, No. 115, Sec. 2, Shipai Rd., Beitou Dist., Taipei City

(About a 6-minute walk from Shipai MRT Station Exit 1)

All assignment takers, please pick one of following questions and send your answer to Toastmaster of Evening before our meeting,

Q1: In Taiwan, a group of seniors in their 70s started their own esports team. As the saying goes, 'You're never too old to learn.' How do you keep learning and stay curious about the world in your daily life?

Q2: Japanese idol Ryosuke Yamada is a top singer, but he’s also a professional esports player. How do you feel about someone turning their hobby into a professional skill?

See you in Spark!

各位小火花與火花好友們，
這次是我們本月的重要例會唷！

本次的主題是：The Books

閱讀，是最安靜的對話，是作者將自身以最珍貴的方式分享。在數位時代下，我們接觸文字的方式正在改變，無論是深夜裡的床邊一盞燈配上一本厚重的紙本書，還是在通勤路上戴上耳機聆聽一段故事，在我們生命的不同階段呈現了不同的生活方式。

而像這樣我們每天都會做的事情，你有哪一些偏好，以及印象深刻的事，讓我們一起聊聊那些珍貴的經驗。

請與會者從下列問題中選擇一項，並將您的想法回傳給主持人：

Q1. E-readers, audiobooks, or good old-fashioned paper—what is your preferred way to 'read' and why?

Q2. Do you prefer re-reading your old favorites, or are you always searching for?

📅 日期：01/22（四）
🕢 時間：晚上 7:30 – 8:30
📍 地點：北投區石牌路二段115號9樓（永明社區活動中心）
🔔 小提醒：記得吃飽再來喔～這次沒有中場休息可以補能量

[Spark TMC] Spark's first meeting in 2026 is coming

noreply@blogger.com (Spark Toastmasters Club) — Wed, 07 Jan 2026 14:04:00 +0000

各位小火花與火花好友們，
這次是我們本月的重要例會唷！

本次的主題是：CARELESS（粗心 / 不小心）

在生活與工作節奏越來越快的情況下，我們常常一心多用、分心處理許多事情。
然而，一個看似微不足道的粗心行為，卻可能造成誤解、錯誤，甚至帶來無法挽回的後果。
無論是在職場、學習，或日常生活中，「carelessness」都是我們每個人都可能面對、也值得反思的課題。

我們是否曾因一時不注意而犯錯？
又是否從這些經驗中學到如何變得更謹慎、更有責任感？

因此，本週的主題將聚焦在 CARELESS。
請與會者從下列問題中選擇一項，並將您的想法回傳給主持人：

Q1. Have you ever been careless and caused the damage? What did you learn from it?

Q2. Why do you sometimes act carelessly?

希望透過這次討論，讓我們更覺察自己的行為，也學習如何在關鍵時刻多一分專注與責任感。

📅 日期：01/08（四）

Hi! Sparks and friends,

This will be our important meeting this month!

Our meeting theme is: CARELESS

In today's fast-paced life, we often multitask and rush from one thing to another.
Because of this, carelessness can easily happen—and even small careless actions may lead to mistakes, misunderstandings, or serious consequences.

Whether at work, at school, or in daily life, carelessness is something we all experience at some point.
Have we ever caused trouble just because we weren't careful enough?
And how can we learn to be more mindful and responsible?

This week, our meeting theme is careless.
Please choose one of the questions below and send your thoughts to the Toastmaster of the Evening:

1. Have you ever been careless and caused a problem or damage? What did you learn from it?

2. Why do you sometimes act carelessly?

We hope this discussion will help everyone become more aware of their actions and learn how to stay focused when it matters most.

📅 Date: Thursday, Jan. 8th
🕢 Time: 7:30 PM – 8:30 PM
📍 Venue: 9F, No.115, Sec. 2, Shipai Rd., Beitou District (Yongming Community Center)
🔔 Reminder: Please have dinner before coming—there will be no break this time, so fuel up first!

各位小火花與火花好友們,

這次是我們在12月唯一的一次例會唷!

本次的主題是: 媒體識讀

在 AI 技術快速進步、社群平台演算法日益精準的時代，我們每天接觸到的資訊量越來越大，其中有不少內容真假難辨，甚至可能被斷章取義或刻意操弄。在這樣的環境中，培養媒體識讀能力 成為我們必備的一項技能。

面對以假亂真的訊息與 AI 生成內容，我們如何獲取正確的新資訊？又如何在第一時間察覺可疑內容？這些都是每個人都需要面對的重要課題。

因此，本週的主題將聚焦在 媒體識讀。請與會者從下列問題中選擇一項，並將您的想法回傳給主持人：

生活中有沒有遇過被假消息誤導的經驗？
面對愈來愈逼真的 AI 影片，您是否開始學習如何判別真假？

希望藉由這次討論，提升大家對媒體識讀的重視，也一起建立更健康的資訊環境。

日期：12/11（四）

時間：晚上 7:30 – 8:30

地點：北投區石牌路二段115號9樓（永明社區活動中心）

小提醒：記得吃飽再來喔～這次沒有中場休息可以補能量

Hi! Sparks and friends,

This meeting would be the only meeting in Dec.

Out meeting theme is: media literacy

In a time when AI is developing quickly and social media algorithms are becoming more and more precise in choosing, we are exposed to a huge amount of information every day.

Many messages can be hard to judge, and some may even be taken out of context or intentionally misleading. In this environment, building our media literacy skills has become essential.

With so much information—and with AI-generated content that looks very real—how can we find accurate news? And how can we quickly notice when something might be false? These are important challenges we all need to deal with.

This week, our meeting theme is media literacy. Please choose one of the questions below and send your thoughts to the Toastmaster of Evening:

Have you ever been misled by false information in your daily life?
With AI videos becoming more realistic, have you started learning how to tell what is real and what is fake?

We hope this discussion will help everyone become more aware of media literacy and work together to create a healthier information environment.

Date: Thursday, Dec 11th

Time: 7:30 PM – 8:30 PM

Venue: 9F, No.115, Sec. 2, Shipai Rd., Beitou District (Yongming Community Center)

Reminder: Have dinner before you come—no break this time, so fuel up first!

我們本周的主題是AI的影響力。

在這個瞬息萬變的時代，人工智慧（AI）不再只是科技公司的專利，而是已經融入我們日常生活的關鍵力量。它幫助我們更快地獲取資訊、更準確地做出判斷，甚至改善醫療、教育、交通與環境。

AI的重要性，不只是因為它能帶來效率與便利，更在於它能夠擴大人的能力。
它不是取代人，而是成為我們的輔助者，讓我們有更多時間去專注在創造、關懷與思考。

懂得運用AI，就像會使用電與網路一樣，將成為新世代的基礎能力。

本次想要分享大家目前如何應用AI。

請工作人員從下方挑一題回答給主持人, 讓主持人知道怎麼介紹你唷

The Influence of AI

Dear Sparks and Friends,
It's Spark Meeting time again!

Our theme this week is The Influence of AI

In today's rapidly changing world, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer the privilege of tech companies—it has become a vital force woven into our daily lives.
It helps us access information faster, make smarter decisions, and improve areas such as healthcare, education, transportation, and even the environment.

The importance of AI lies not only in its ability to bring efficiency and convenience, but also in its power to expand human potential.
It is not here to replace us, but to assist us—giving us more time to focus on creativity, compassion, and critical thinking.

Mastering AI will soon be as fundamental as knowing how to use electricity or the internet.

All assignment takers please pick one of the following questions and send your answer to Toastmaster of Evening so she can introduce you properly during the session:

1. How can we use AI to help us?

2. How often do you use ChatGPT and for what?

Date: Thursday, August 14

Time: 7:30 PM – 8:30 PM

Location: 9F, No. 115, Sec. 2, Shipai Rd., Beitou District (Yongming Community Activity Center)

PS: Eat before you come—we're rolling straight through without a snack break!

[SPARK TMC] 8/28的Meeting主題: 隨興感V.S.儀式感, 歡迎大家來參加唷

noreply@blogger.com (Spark Toastmasters Club) — Tue, 26 Aug 2025 03:36:00 +0000

各位小火花與火花好友們,

又到了我們固定Meeting的時間啦! ✨

我們本周的主題是隨興感V.S.儀式感,

在生活中很多時候都有儀式感的存在, 某些儀式感可以表現出我們對這個主題的重視程度, 比如慶祝生日, 慶祝紀念日等等. 但有人習慣隨興, 想買個點心讓自己開心就買, 不用特別挑日子, 想約朋友吃飯就吃飯, 不用找理由

在追星族群中也是有儀式感的, 幫偶像慶祝生日, 幫喜歡的角色紀念相關的日子, 譬如某個文物被封為國寶的紀念日等等, 慶祝方式也有很多不同, 像韓國就會集資舉辦限定的生日咖啡廳活動, 或者是包下咖啡外賣車, 送咖啡給其他粉絲順便幫自家偶像宣傳, 台灣也有包下捷運燈箱慶祝角色或偶像生日的廣告看板, 這些儀式感無所不在的充斥在追星文化中.

本次想要討論大家在生活中, 是否有堅持一定要進行的儀式, 或者是隨心所欲就好, 這些對你的生活又有怎樣的影響呢?

請工作人員從下方挑一題回答給主持人, 讓主持人知道怎麼介紹你唷

請問你有沒有每隔一段時間就要做的儀式? 這些儀式對你的生活會不會造成不方便, 或者是為你的生活帶來甚麼樣的改變?
你會有某些儀式開切換你生活模式的開關嗎? (譬如追劇的時候一定要做甚麼, 或者做手工藝品的時候一定要做甚麼?

本次的聚會依舊是即席問答馬拉松的形式, 另外也請來參加的來賓,穿著好活動的衣物, 這次的暖身活動會需要這樣的裝扮唷! 😉

小提醒：

日期：8/28（四）

時間：晚上 7:30 – 8:30

地點：北投區石牌路二段115號9樓（永明社區活動中心）

記得吃飽再來，中途沒有休息時間可以補充能量唷~

A Sense of Casualness vs. A Sense of Ritual

Dear Sparks and Friends,
It's Spark Meeting time again! ✨

Our theme this week is Casualness vs. Ritual.
In daily life, rituals are everywhere. Sometimes, they reflect how much we value a moment—like celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, or special milestones.

But not everyone is into rituals. Some people prefer to keep things casual—buying a treat just because they feel like it, or inviting friends out for dinner without needing a special reason or occasion.

In fan culture, rituals are also very common. Fans might celebrate an idol's birthday or mark a special day connected to a favorite character—like the anniversary of a work being recognized as a national treasure. Celebrations can take many forms: in Korea, fans often raise money to host themed birthday cafés or even hire coffee trucks to serve drinks and promote their idol. In Taiwan, fans sometimes rent MRT lightbox ads to celebrate a character or idol's birthday. Rituals are truly everywhere in fandom culture!

This week, we'd love to hear your thoughts: Do you stick to certain rituals in your life, or do you prefer to go with the flow? And how do these choices affect your daily life?

👉 All assignment takers please pick one of the following questions and send your answer to Toastmaster of Evening so she can introduce you properly during the session:

Do you have any rituals you repeat regularly? Do they ever cause any inconvenience, or do they bring positive changes to your life?
Do you have certain rituals that act like a "switch" for you, helping you shift into a specific mood or activity? (For example, needing to do something before binge-watching a show, or before working on crafts.)

This week's meeting will once again follow our table topic marathon format.
Also, a quick reminder: please wear comfortable clothing—our warm-up activity this time will need it! 😉

Date: Thursday, August 14

Time: 7:30 PM – 8:30 PM

Location: 9F, No. 115, Sec. 2, Shipai Rd., Beitou District (Yongming Community Activity Center)

PS: Eat before you come—we're rolling straight through without a snack break!

We can't wait to see you at Spark!

[Spark TMC] 這周來聊聊電影配樂~ 8/14見

noreply@blogger.com (Spark Toastmasters Club) — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 07:21:00 +0000

🎬 哪一首電影配樂一響起，就讓你回到難忘的情節裡？ 🎶💥
這週 Spark Meeting，我們要聊聊讓電影變得超有感的秘密武器——電影配樂！

👋 哈囉大家～又到 Spark Meeting 的時間啦！
最近有沒有去看《鬼滅之刃》新電影？才上映兩天，票房就突破 1 億！😱
一部電影要好看，除了導演、演員、剪輯團隊，還有一個超重要的角色——🎵 配樂 🎵

🎯 好的配樂 = 氣氛直接拉滿
🎯 錯的配樂 = 全場秒出戲

這週我們要讓配樂成為主角，來聊聊你跟電影音樂的故事！👇

本次的會議一樣是即席問答馬拉松, 即席問答的主持人會依照會議主題, 來設計問題讓大家回答唷~

工作人員們選一題來分享你的想法, 並回答給主持人：
1️⃣ 如果把你最近的一次旅行拍成微電影，你會配什麼音樂？有沒有一首歌剛好超適合？
2️⃣ 有沒有哪部電影的主題曲，一聽就能馬上回想起劇情畫面？為什麼？
3️⃣ 你會去聽電影配樂演奏會嗎？像久石讓、約翰威廉斯那種，為什麼？

💡 小提醒：

日期：8/14（四）

時間：晚上 7:30 – 8:30

地點：北投區石牌路二段115號9樓（永明社區活動中心）

記得吃飽再來，中途沒有休息時間可以補充能量唷~

🎬 The soundtrack kicks in, and suddenly you're there again, heart and all. 🎶💥

This week at Spark Meeting, we're shining the spotlight on a secret weapon that makes movies truly magical—movie soundtracks!

👋 Hey Spark friends—it's that time again!
Quick question: have you caught the new Demon Slayer movie yet? Only two days in theaters and it's already raked in over $100 million! 😱
Sure, an awesome film needs a talented director, actors, and an editing team… but there's another hero working behind the scenes (well, behind the speakers): 🎵 the soundtrack.

💡 Here's the thing:
✅ The right soundtrack = goosebumps, emotions dialed to 100%
❌ The wrong soundtrack = instant "wait, what?" vibes

From epic fight scenes to heart-tugging goodbyes, music sets the tone and pulls you deeper into the story. Sometimes, a single melody can stick with you for years.

So this week, we're making music the main character of the night. We want to hear YOUR stories:
1️⃣ If you turned your most recent trip into a short film, what music would you use? Got a perfect song in mind?
2️⃣ Is there a movie theme that instantly takes you back to its story? Why does it hit so hard?
3️⃣ Would you go to a live concert of movie scores—like Joe Hisaishi or John Williams? Why (or why not)?

📅 Mark your calendars for this week's Spark Meeting!
🎤 Bring your stories, your favorite tunes, and let's chat about how the right music can transform a film from good to unforgettable.

🗓 Date: Thursday, August 14
🕖 Time: 7:30 PM – 8:30 PM
📍 Location: 9F, No. 115, Sec. 2, Shipai Rd., Beitou District (Yongming Community Activity Center)

PS: Eat before you come—we're rolling straight through without a snack break! 🍽

See you in Spark!

抱歉忘記附上Agenda...

寄件者: sparktmc@googlegroups.com <sparktmc@googlegroups.com> 代表 Susan Chang <chang_s_f@hotmail.com>
寄件日期: 2025年7月24日下午 02:57
收件者: Spark TMC <sparktmc@googlegroups.com>
主旨: [Spark TMC] Your Idols!! 本次會議要來討論偶像唷!!

親愛的小火花們＆火花好友們

又來到了Spark meeting的時候了,

本周的主題是"偶像" — 那些我們崇拜（或偷偷在 Instagram 上追蹤）的人

你的第一位偶像是誰？

是像 G-Dragon 那樣的韓星？還是好萊塢演員？本地英雄？或者……是你的狗？🐶（畢竟他是個好孩子。）

我們每個人都有自己的偶像。有些人讓我們敢於作夢，

有些人則讓我們忍不住買了一堆奇怪的周邊商品。

本週，我們要好好聊聊「偶像崇拜」——用最正面的方式。

💡 我們能從像 G-Dragon 這樣的超級偶像身上學到什麼？

💡 他們的世界是否只有光鮮亮麗，還是其實蘊含了某種智慧？

對了，你有發現嗎？

最近來台灣的偶像真的很多耶！演唱會、見面會、驚喜快閃咖啡廳…甚至你阿嬤現在也在看韓劇啦！😲

所以我們想問問：

💬 這麼多偶像來台灣，有什麼正面與負面的影響？

💬 我們是在進行文化交流，還是只是在排隊買票熬夜而已？

🎯 最令人期待的來了：

👉 這次的聚會將有特別加長版的 Table Topics 時段！

更多有趣的問題、更多發言機會、更多歡笑～

（也許還會出現一些尷尬的真心話，我們不會笑你的 😅）

本週的 Table Topics 可能包括：

🎤 分享你從最喜歡的偶像身上學到的一個人生課題

🎤 坦承你最中二的追星經歷（沒錯，就是那張海報配眼淚的那次）

🎤 如果你是偶像，你的粉絲團要叫什麼名字？

期待見到你！

時間提醒

日期：7/24（四）

時間：晚上 7:30 – 8:30

地點：北投區石牌路二段115號9樓（永明社區活動中心）

記得吃飽再來，中途沒有休息時間可以補充能量唷~

Theme: IDOLS — the ones we admire (or secretly stalk on Instagram)

Who was your first idol?

A K-pop star like G-Dragon?

A Hollywood actor? A local hero?

Or… your dog? 🐶 (He is a good boy after all.)

We all have idols.

Some inspired us to dream big.

Some made us buy weird merch.

This week, we're diving into idol worship — in the best way.

💡 What can we actually learn from super idols like G-Dragon?

💡 Is it all glam and glitter, or is there wisdom behind the fame?

And hey, have you noticed?

Taiwan is getting a lot of idol visitors lately. Concerts, fan meetings, surprise café pop-ups... Even your grandma's watching Korean dramas now! 😲

So we're asking:

💬 What's the positive and negative side of having so many idols visit Taiwan?

💬 Are we winning in culture exchange… or just losing sleep waiting in ticket lines?

🎯 And here's the exciting part:

👉 This meeting will feature an extra-long and super-varied Table Topics session!

More fun questions. More chances to speak. More laughs.

(And maybe more awkward confessions. We won't judge. 😅)

This week's Table Topics may include:

🎤 Share a life lesson from your favorite idol

🎤 Confess your cringiest fan moment (yes, the one with the poster and tears)

🎤 If you were an idol, what would your fan club name be?

Look forward to seeing you!

Reminder:

Date: Thursday, Jul 24th

Time: 7:30 – 8:30 PM

Location: Yong-Ming Community Center, 9F, No. 115, Sec. 2, Shipai Rd., Beitou, Taipei

See you in Spark!

[Spark TMC] Your Idols!! 本次會議要來討論偶像唷!!

noreply@blogger.com (Spark Toastmasters Club) — Thu, 24 Jul 2025 06:57:00 +0000

親愛的小火花們＆火花好友們

又來到了Spark meeting的時候了,

本周的主題是"偶像" — 那些我們崇拜（或偷偷在 Instagram 上追蹤）的人

你的第一位偶像是誰？

是像 G-Dragon 那樣的韓星？還是好萊塢演員？本地英雄？或者……是你的狗？🐶（畢竟他是個好孩子。）

我們每個人都有自己的偶像。有些人讓我們敢於作夢，

有些人則讓我們忍不住買了一堆奇怪的周邊商品。

本週，我們要好好聊聊「偶像崇拜」——用最正面的方式。

💡 我們能從像 G-Dragon 這樣的超級偶像身上學到什麼？

💡 他們的世界是否只有光鮮亮麗，還是其實蘊含了某種智慧？

對了，你有發現嗎？

最近來台灣的偶像真的很多耶！演唱會、見面會、驚喜快閃咖啡廳…甚至你阿嬤現在也在看韓劇啦！😲

所以我們想問問：

💬 這麼多偶像來台灣，有什麼正面與負面的影響？

💬 我們是在進行文化交流，還是只是在排隊買票熬夜而已？

🎯 最令人期待的來了：

👉 這次的聚會將有特別加長版的 Table Topics 時段！

更多有趣的問題、更多發言機會、更多歡笑～

（也許還會出現一些尷尬的真心話，我們不會笑你的 😅）

本週的 Table Topics 可能包括：

🎤 分享你從最喜歡的偶像身上學到的一個人生課題

🎤 坦承你最中二的追星經歷（沒錯，就是那張海報配眼淚的那次）

🎤 如果你是偶像，你的粉絲團要叫什麼名字？

期待見到你！

時間提醒

日期：7/24（四）

時間：晚上 7:30 – 8:30

地點：北投區石牌路二段115號9樓（永明社區活動中心）

記得吃飽再來，中途沒有休息時間可以補充能量唷~

Theme: IDOLS — the ones we admire (or secretly stalk on Instagram)

Who was your first idol?

A K-pop star like G-Dragon?

A Hollywood actor? A local hero?

Or… your dog? 🐶 (He is a good boy after all.)

We all have idols.

Some inspired us to dream big.

Some made us buy weird merch.

This week, we're diving into idol worship — in the best way.

💡 What can we actually learn from super idols like G-Dragon?

💡 Is it all glam and glitter, or is there wisdom behind the fame?

And hey, have you noticed?

Taiwan is getting a lot of idol visitors lately. Concerts, fan meetings, surprise café pop-ups... Even your grandma's watching Korean dramas now! 😲

So we're asking:

💬 What's the positive and negative side of having so many idols visit Taiwan?

💬 Are we winning in culture exchange… or just losing sleep waiting in ticket lines?

🎯 And here's the exciting part:

👉 This meeting will feature an extra-long and super-varied Table Topics session!

More fun questions. More chances to speak. More laughs.

(And maybe more awkward confessions. We won't judge. 😅)

This week's Table Topics may include:

🎤 Share a life lesson from your favorite idol

🎤 Confess your cringiest fan moment (yes, the one with the poster and tears)

🎤 If you were an idol, what would your fan club name be?

Look forward to seeing you!

Reminder:

Date: Thursday, Jul 24th

Time: 7:30 – 8:30 PM

Location: Yong-Ming Community Center, 9F, No. 115, Sec. 2, Shipai Rd., Beitou, Taipei

See you in Spark!

[Spark TMC] Coming meeting on Jul 10th - 本次主題: 世界末日預言

noreply@blogger.com (Spark Toastmasters Club) — Mon, 07 Jul 2025 02:33:00 +0000

親愛的小火花們＆火花好友們 ✨

🌍 Spark Toastmasters 例會預告：世界末日預言？我們還在說話！

你有聽說嗎？7/5 日本凌晨有人預言世界會結束。

結果呢？太陽還是照常升起，咖啡機還能按，生活還是繼續。

在 Spark Toastmasters，我們相信就算是世界末日，也值得來一場精彩的演講。

這次例會主題是——「世界末日預言」

雖然世界還沒真的毀滅，卻讓我們忍不住思考：

如果今天真的是最後一天，你想對大家說什麼？

有什麼故事、笑話或心裡話是你一直想說卻沒說的？

會不會想用不同的方式、更勇敢地表達自己？

讓我們一起用輕鬆有趣的方式，探索這些「末日前的思考」。

當天會有即興問答、精彩演講，還有很多歡笑，讓你用不同角度看待這個主題（不用擔心，世界不會真的結束啦）。

不管你是資深的 Toastmaster，還是第一次加入，

這是個絕佳機會，讓你在預言來臨前，好好說出自己的故事與心聲。

🗓️ 日期：[7月10日]

🕰️ 時間：[19:30 ~ 20:30]

來吧！就算世界真的要結束，至少我們能用最棒的演講，留下最精彩的回憶。😉

🌍 Spark Toastmasters Meeting Promo: End-of-the-World Prediction? We're Still Talking!

Did you hear the latest doomsday buzz?

On the early morning of July 5th, a prediction from Japan said the world might end.

But guess what? The sun still rose, the coffee machine still worked, and life… well, it went on.

At Spark Toastmasters, we believe even the end of the world deserves a great speech.

That's why our next meeting theme is:

"End-of-the-World Prediction"

Sure, the world didn't explode (again), but it got us thinking:

If today were really the last day, what message would you share?

What stories, laughs, or confessions have you been waiting to tell?

Would you speak differently, more boldly, more honestly?

Let's explore those questions together — not with fear, but with fun.

Expect creative table topics, thought-provoking speeches, and plenty of laughs as we dive into the end-of-the-world mindset (without the actual end, of course).

Whether you're a long-time Toastmaster or joining us for the first time,

this is your chance to reflect, express, and enjoy the moment — before the next prophecy rolls around!

🗓️ Date: [July 10th ]

🕰️ Time: [19:30~20:30]

Come for the speeches, stay for the fun — and bring your "last words" just in case. 😉

Because even if the world ends… Spark will go out in style!

See you in Spark!

[Spark TMC] 6/26, 我們的即席演講馬拉松又來囉! Jun 26th, Long table topics meeting.

noreply@blogger.com (Spark Toastmasters Club) — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 05:54:00 +0000

親愛的小火花們＆火花好友們 ✨

又來到了Spark meeting的時候了, 這次一樣是以long table topics 的形式舉辦,

本次的主題是"大眾交通工具", 說道大眾交通工具你會想到甚麼呢? 是公車, 捷運, 火車, 還是渡輪呢?

我這次去日本, 常常使用他們的電車與公車, 京都的公車是區域單一價格, 只要下車刷卡就好, 但福岡的公車則是距離計價, 上下車都要刷卡, 地鐵跟公車轉乘也沒有優惠, 不像台灣, 在台北搭捷運轉公車的時候有轉乘優惠, 連youbike也列入轉乘優惠的範圍內, 看來每個城市都有不一樣的考量.

你對大眾交通工具的印象與使用心得又是如何呢? 有沒有甚麼特別的故事想與大家分享的呢? 或者想聽聽大家不同的經驗?

歡迎所有有興趣的人都來參加我們的Spark 聚會, 不管是單身前來, 或是呼朋引伴我們都歡迎, 一起來感受我們Spark的魅力!!

最後, 請與會的工作人員, 從下列的問題中選出一個, 將你的解答交給主持人唷

請舉出大眾交通工具的好處
請問你使用過的各種轉乘優惠中, 你覺得哪個最適合你呢?

期待在Spark見到大家!

⏰ 時間提醒 ⏰

🔥 日期：6/26（四）

Hey Sparks and lovely guests! 🌟

It's time for another Spark meeting!
This time, we're doing the Long Table Topics format again, and the meeting theme is public transportation.

When you hear "public transportation," what comes to mind? Buses? Subways? Trains? Maybe even ferries?

I just got back from a trip to Japan and used their trains and buses a lot. In Kyoto, the buses have a flat fare system — you just tap your card when you get off. But in Fukuoka, it's distance-based, so you have to tap both when getting on and off. Also, there's no transfer discount between the subway and buses, unlike in Taiwan. In Taipei, for example, you get transfer discounts when switching from the MRT to a bus, and even YouBike rides are included in the transfer deal.
Every city seems to have its own way of handling things!

🚍🚇 So, what's your impression or experience with public transportation?

We'd love to hear your stories and thoughts!
Let's share, learn from each other, and maybe even discover a few fun or surprising facts along the way.

✨ Whether you're a regular commuter or just someone who's had a memorable ride — don't miss out on this chance to join the fun!

Also, for all assignment takers, please pick one of the questions below and send your answer to TME

Q1: What are the advantages of public transport?

Q2: Of all the transfer benefits you've experienced, which one do you think works best for you?

⏰ Reminder:

🗓 Date: Thursday, June 26

🕢 Time: 7:30 – 8:30 PM

📍 Location: Yong-Ming Community Center, 9F, No. 115, Sec. 2, Shipai Rd., Beitou, Taipei

See you in Spark!

[Spark TMC] Spark meeting: 2025/06/12, Meeting theme: barrier-free environment

noreply@blogger.com (Spark Toastmasters Club) — Tue, 03 Jun 2025 07:04:00 +0000

隨著社會高齡化, 無障礙空間的設計與相關設施也越來越受重視, 這些設施與設計已經越來越融入我們的生活當中, 對於這些設計你有甚麼樣的看法呢? 或者是希望有哪些方便的設施可以被製作出來, 或者是被採用呢?

面對高齡化的社會, 大家又會想要有怎樣的心理準備與硬體需求呢?

本次的會議將於6/12舉辦, 主題為無障礙空間, 除了之前延續的即席演講馬拉松以外, 還會有一篇由會員分享的短篇備稿演講, 歡迎大家前來參加唷!

請參與的人在以下問題中選擇一題回答, 將答案傳給主持人

你印象最深刻的無障礙設施是甚麼?
你會考慮將你家設計成無障礙的生活環境嗎?

期待大家來分享~!

As society continues to age, the design of barrier-free spaces and related facilities has become increasingly important. These features are now more integrated into our daily lives. What are your thoughts on these designs? Are there any helpful facilities you hope will be developed or more widely adopted in the future?

In the face of an aging population, what kind of mental preparation and physical infrastructure do you think we need?

Our upcoming meeting will be held on June 12. Meeting theme: barrier-free environment

In addition to the ongoing table topics marathon, there will also be a prepared speech shared by one of our members. Everyone is welcome to join!

Please choose one of the following questions and send your response to the host:

Q1: What is the most impressive barrier-free equipment you have ever seen?

🔥 Spark Meeting Teaser

Hey hey, Sparks and awesome friends! 💫

Our last Table Topics Marathon was a total blast! 💥
You brought the energy, the laughs, and the quick thinking—and we loved every minute of it!
This Thursday (April 24), we're doing it again! 🎤✨
Same format, fresh new sparks—what fun surprises will pop up this time?

This week's theme is: "limit" ⚠️
Not just "limits" like rules, but those personal boundaries that help us protect our energy, peace, and well-being.
Saying "this is my line" isn't rude—it's smart. It helps everyone get along better and feel more understood 💛

👉 If you're one of our role takers, please send your answer to this question to our Toastmaster of the Evening & Table Topics Master:

🧠 If there were a user manual for you, what would the warning label say? What are your hard no's or boundaries people should know?

⏰ Heads up!
Our meeting time is now 7:30 PM – 8:30 PM. Grab a snack before you come, because this marathon's gonna be mentally delicious 🍙💭🔥

📣 Got a friend who's curious about Toastmasters?
Someone who loves a good challenge or just wants to have fun on a Thursday night?
Invite them along! The more sparks, the better! ✨

See ya 😉
