大家好，以下是12月第一次例會的文字回顧，我們下一次例會在12/16，有興趣的朋友不要錯過！
Hello everyone, here is the recap of our first regular meeting in December. Our next meeting is on Dec 16th. Don't miss out if you're interested!
本次備稿演講中，Frank 分享兩週歐洲旅行，搭配更精緻的地圖，內容豐富，但也超時了，下次若能更聚焦重點會更理想。Starrie 則以肢體語言專案演出驚悚故事，表情肢體到位，氣氛營造十分生動。
即席演講方面，Henry 提醒我們，速食不只漢堡薯條，迴轉壽司、巷口麵攤也是一種「立即享用」的快餐；另有會友異想天開，想把八寶冰的配料通通塞進漢堡裡販售，創意十足，也被大家點名很適合參加今年備稿演講比賽。
講評環節中，Yichin 第一次講評就條理清楚、觀察細膩，雖然有點緊張，卻相當勇敢。Kahoo 主題競賽則由化身麥當勞（不是叔叔）的 Adolph 奪冠，本次加入隨機答案設計！讓大家再次體會，演講與思考，從來不只一種「標準答案」。
In the prepared speech session, Frank took us on a two-week journey through Europe, using a newly polished and visually appealing map to guide everyone along his route. His stories were rich and engaging, but unfortunately he went overtime today. Starrie's project focused on body language, and she performed a thrilling story for us. Her expressive movements and vivid delivery truly showcased how powerful non-verbal communication can be.
The Table Topics session was full of creative ideas. Henry challenged our definition of "fast food," reminding us that conveyor-belt sushi and the noodle stand around the corner, where food appears almost instantly, also fit the concept of quick, ready-to-eat meals. Another member playfully imagined putting all the toppings of a traditional "eight-treasure shaved ice(Babaobing)" into a hamburger bun and selling it. With such a wild and creative mind, we all agreed this member should definitely join this year's prepared speech contest.
In the evaluation and fun session, Yichin delivered her very first evaluation in a clear and well-structured way. Despite some understandable nervousness, her sharp observations and courage were truly admirable. During the Kahoo theme quiz, we finally had a new champion: Adolph, who appeared as a McDonald's character (though not the famous uncle), took first place. This time we even added random answer options, reminding everyone that, just like in public speaking, there is rarely only one absolutely "correct" answer.
