Original

I attended today’s toastmaster meeting. It was a wonderful meeting, because there were 3 high level prepared speeches, including 2 CC10 speeches and 1 CC9 speech. The speakers are very experienced, and they can take I.E. Role easily, which require strong ability to evaluate other’s speech and give feedback and suggestions spontaneously. However, they didn’t behave as great as they usually were. I am not sure whether because of too much pressure to prepare the speeches or they just didn’t in their good status today, or just because that I had too much expectations. Each time, I gained a lot from the meeting and take aways to improve my speeches.

I attended today’s toastmaster meeting. It was a wonderful meeting, because there were 3 high level prepared speeches, including 2 CC10 speeches and 1 CC9 speech. The speakers are very experienced, and they can take I.E. Role easily, which requires strong ability to evaluate other’s speeches and give feedback and suggestions immediately / without preparation / on the spot.. However, they didn’t behave as great as they usually were. I am not sure whether because of too much pressure to prepare the speeches or they just weren’t at their normal level / weren’t in their normal good mood / in their normal state of mind / themselves today, or just because that I had too high expectations. Each time, I gained a lot from the meeting and take aways to improve my speeches.

spontaneously = without preparation / expectation / plan / warning / and immediately
eg. we were walking along the road and my friend spontaneously ran away like a crazy person

immediately = very quickly after sth else

spontaneous combustion
