Friendship Table Topics

The famous American professional boxer, Muhammad Ali, once said "friendship is not something you can learn in school, but if you have not learn the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learnt anything." Anyone can make a guess, who is Muhammad Ali's best Friend? It was Joe Frazier, a fellow boxer during his time.

Fellow toastmasters and guests, we have come to tonight’s table topics’ segment. I am your table topics master for tonight, and in line with tonight's theme of "friends", we are going explore friendship and especially our very own best friend in our lives. The table topics segment is open to members and especially guests for a chance of impromptu speech. This helps us to listen, analysis and think on our feet. Good training in a fun way.

Each speaker will be given a topic to speak for 2 mins. At the end of 1 min there will be the green card, 1.5 min the orange card and after 2 min the red card. At 2:30 mins there will be a bell to tell you the time is up.

I have here with me 10 special quotations about friendship tied to the ends of a friendship band. So, when you come up here, you will first share with us who your best friend is. Then you will pick one of these quotation and your topic would be "Sarah and I are best friends because ....". The time will start when you are ready to speak. So, who shall go first? Don't worry, I guarantee that none of the quotes are more than 10 words long. 



This is a table topics segment following the theme of "Friendship" for a toastmaster club's meeting. The outcome - not enough time to do even 4, and I was graded downwards for 'wasting' time on the introduction?!
