Our Meetings Are Our Products -- Meeting Quality Check-up | 主頁 | Interview with Claire Wang, National Champion of Mandarin Speech Contest/專訪2008中文演講冠軍王玉華
January 25, 2009
對那些想在比賽中成名的會員來說，我有四個建議。第一，做個忠實的演講會友。如果你認為演講會是有趣又有意義的地方，千萬不要因為工作忙或景氣不好就退出。第二，不斷的參加比賽。在戰場上我們獲得更多的能量和學習。第三，當個講師。敎學相長，成為會內會外講師均有助益。第四，當個領導。當你服務別人時你會越了解別人，而且會了解同理心、鼓勵和遠見等特質。
1. 您打破了中華民國演講會的紀錄，在同一界競賽當中，同時贏的三項獎項，包括英語講評比賽冠軍、國語講評比賽亞軍及國語幽默演講比賽亞軍。請問您秘訣為何？是什麼促使您參加這麼多種不同類型的演講比賽？
l 我加入演講會已有十年的時間。在這個圈子 我們邊做邊學，我也從身邊的人獲得學習。身為新世紀雙語會員，讓我可以同時參加國語和英語比賽。將來，若時間許可我還想加入台語會，為生活添加色彩。
2. 是什麼促使您同時參加三項比賽，您主要想要挑戰的是？當初決定的動機為何？決定之後，有想過要在三場比賽同時得獎嗎？您有設定任何贏的比賽的目標嗎？
l 去體驗不同的文化（語言）之美吧！
2007年我加入新世紀雙語分會。我還記得當我的會長睜大著眼睛邀請我參加國語演講比賽時，我根本不敢拒絕她，我當下就報名參加比賽！老實說，我從來沒想過會在所有比賽勝出。我只是抱著平常心，我告訴自己如果我贏的去參加全國演講比賽的門票，那麼我就有兩天假期和一群貼心又支持我的朋友一起去渡假。
3. 您認為三項比賽當中，最具挑戰性的是什麼？您贏的策略為何？
l 對任何參賽者而言，要打敗其他選手贏的比賽，真的不事件簡單的差事。我很榮幸能跟如此多傑出的參賽者同樣站在全國舞台上，一起打了場美好的仗！
我很欣賞國語幽默演講比賽冠軍王玉華以她像黃鶯出谷的聲音，幽默的訴說感人肺腑的故事。輸給她，我真的是甘拜下風。另外，國語講評比賽冠軍會風的論述鏗鏘有力，我很榮幸有此對手。至於英語講評比賽，雖然參賽者中有外國人、美籍華人，我能出線贏得冠軍實在是運氣。
4. 準備比賽過程中，是否有遇到任何困難，您如何克服？
l 我的弱點在要表達的意念太多無法在一個演講當中表達清楚。因此，我必須割愛刪稿以有效掌控時間。除此之外，因為第一次參加國語比賽，不習慣使用單一語言。在比賽中，一個英文語詞脫口而出，被扣了五分。真是積習難改啊！
5. 這次參賽，您是否有教練團一起協助您參賽？您如何與教練團合作取得勝利？
l 在演講會，每個人都是你的教練。你可從錯誤中學習也可以見賢思齊。我輸掉2005年在台北舉行的秋季大會的英語幽默和講評比賽。從那開始，我向國際演講協會還有中華民國演講協會的會友學習。今年，我花一些時間觀看中華民國演講協會近三年來的講評冠軍得主參賽的得獎DVD，包括2005年冠軍L. J. Lamb、2006年冠軍陳凱倫，以及2007年冠軍黃照寰。在比賽現場，新世紀雙語會的會員孫旭群，也是2006年泛亞國語講評比賽冠軍得主、I3分部蔡嬌燕總監以及新世紀分會會長蔡嬌敏都給了我關鍵性的幫助和意見。如果獎杯能兌換現金的話，我真該請他們吃頓大餐。
6. 贏的三項大獎之後，下階段的目標為何？是否要再參賽直到你贏得演講比賽冠軍？原因是？
l 答案是「當然」。寫一篇為你自己量身訂作的演講稿是每一位演講會會友的夢想，目的不在獎杯。David Brooks說過，「不是因為我們是最優秀而參加比賽：而是因為我們參加比賽而成為最優秀。」我覺得演講會的舞台提供機會讓你發掘最深處潛能的機會。
7. 對於那些想要參賽的人，您的建議為何？
l 對那些想在比賽中成名的會員來說，我有四個建議。第一，做個忠實的演講會友。如果你認為演講會是有趣又有意義的地方，千萬不要因為工作忙或景氣不好就退出。第二，不斷的參加比賽。在戰場上我們獲得更多的能量和學習。第三，當個講師。敎學相長，成為會內會外講師均有助益。第四，當個領導。當你服務別人時你會越了解別人，而且會了解同理心、鼓勵和遠見等特質。這些特質都能提昇講評的能力。總之，不管在演講會的舞台或人生的舞台，充實你的每一步驟就是成功的保證。
1. You have hit the record in D67 to win three awards in a national contest, including the Champion in the English Evaluation Contest, the 2nd place in the Mandarin Evaluation Contest as well as the 2nd place in the Mandarin Humorous Speech Contest. What are your secrets to your winning and what encourages you to join contests in different languages？
l I have joined Toastmasters for 10 years. I believe in learning by doing in Toastmasters, where provides me an environment to learn from others. For me, I like to take challenges. Being a member of New Century Bilingual Toastmasters Club, I am able to join both Chinese and English contests.
Moving forward, if I had time, I would like to join a Taiwanese language club as well to add colors to my life.
2. Why do you want challenge yourself by taking part in 3 speech contests? How did you make the decision to participate in the 3 contests in the beginning? After making the decision to join the contests, have you ever thought that you would win in all speeches? Did you set up any goal to win？
l By taking part in 3 contests gave me the opportunity to experience the beauty of different languages (culture).
In 2007, I joined NCBTC as a member. I remembered when the President asked me to join the Mandarin speech contest with her eyes-open staring at me; I dared not to say “No.” So, I signed up for the contest immediately.
I, however, have never thought I would win in all contests; I just tried to enjoy the contests. I told myself that if I got the passport to the District level contest, then I would have two-day holidays with a bunch of supportive Toastmasters there.
3. Among three contests, what do you think is the most challenging and what is your winning strategy？
l For every winner, it’s never easy to outrank the other contestants and win a contest. It’s my privilege to stand on the national stage with so many outstanding contestants, and fight a beautiful fight!
I appreciate Claire Wang, the first place winner of the Mandarin Humorous Speech Contest, who brought the audience a hilarious story with her sound voice. I am honor to be the second place winner. The Mandarin Evaluation winner, Heir-Hon demonstrated her persuasive skills when delivering her speech. I was honor to be her rival. There were several native speakers joining the English Evaluation Contest. I think I am just lucky to win the Champion.
4. In the process of your preparation, did you encounter any difficulty and how did you overcome them？
l My weakness was I had too many ideas to express in a speech. Thus, I had to cut my speech and slow down my path so as to manage time well. Besides, this was my first time to join a Mandarin speech, so I had to be consistent with a same langue in a Mandarin speech contest. However, old habit dies hard; I was deducted 5 points because I altered an English vocabulary in the Mandarin Evaluation Contest. As the saying goes: “Good habit kisses you, bad one kills you.”
5. Do you have any coach to help you when you joined the contests? Who are they? And how did you work together to win? What were your winning strategies?
l In Toastmasters, every one is your coach. However, you can always learn from the mistakes and turn to be better. I failed in both English Humorous and Evaluation Contests in 2005. Since then I have studied the winners from Toastmasters International as well as D67.
To prepare for these contests, I spent a lot of time watching those DVDs in the D67 Evaluation contests. I learnt from those champions, including L.J Lamb, Helen Chen and Chao Huang. In Fall Convention, I met Jones Sun, Champion of the Pan Asian Chinese Evaluation Contest, Joy Tsai, Area I3 Governor as well as Irene Tsai, President of NCBTC, they all gave me crucial hints. I shall buy them big meals if the trophies could be switched into cash.
6. Since you have won 3 speeches, do you have any goal for your next level learning in Toastmasters? Will you join the next national speech contest till you win the champion？Why and why not？
l The answer is “Yes!”
To write a second-to-none champion speech is every Toastmaster’s dream. The purpose is not just the trophy. Just like what David Brooks said: “We don’t join the contest because we are the best; we become the best because we join the contest.” I think the stage of Toastmasters provide you opportunity to discover your inner potential.
7. Do you have any advice for those who would like to join the contest?
l There are four tips I would like to share with those who would like to be “Somebody” some day in the contest as below.
First, be a loyal Toastmaster. No matter how busy your life is and how lousy the economy is, join the Toastmasters meeting if you still think it is fun in Toastmasters. Secondly, join the contest as you will gain more energy and knowledge in the battlefield. Thirdly, be a trainer. You learn more than a student when you are a teacher. Fourthly, be a leader. To serve members help you understand how to stand on others’ fee and how to encourage people. You will also be visionary from the process of leading a team or members. Those will develop your evaluation skills.
All in all, take every step of your Toastmastering is a guarantee to success in the Toastmasters journey as well as in your real life.
