She realized that taste of tea which was offered by her friend was so precious.
The Evaluator was TM ON (time: 3’42”)

Speech Title: “How to make our 2024-2025 TITMC sessions momentous”
TM KM’s speech was close related to the result and analysis of ‘Moment of Truth’ which was conducted last month. Moment of Truth is a questionnaire survey to TITMC members and the new commers regarding the atmosphere, operations of TITMC.
TM KM talked about the results with the figures and explanation sheets, using colorful slides. As a summery, she pointed out that we need to develop our idea on guests’ care, roll of the Mentors, how to utilize Pathways.
The Evaluator was TM KY(time:2’39”)
TM KY praised her speech and touched 3 good points that the topic was very interesting to audience, delivery of her speech showed her confidence and her visual aide was effective. He also suggested that her speaking speed was sometimes rapid. He said that it would be more effective if she spoke slightly slowly. He added that time management in order not to exceed limit line would be important.
++General Evaluation:by TM AO
Because of limited time management, TM AO commented only on the evaluators shortly.
TM AO praised TM OM that his way of starting evaluation with the word of “Congratulations!” was very nice and gave a relaxed feeling to the speaker.
TM AO agreed with TM KY’s way of counting number of good points and personal suggesting points, because it would be easy and clear to the speaker and the audience for their understanding.
