Role takers for 25th March 2020
MEETING 602
Online Meeting
Theme: Book-Bound📕📗📘📔📚
Pages, words, chapters and more;
Stories and fantasies and knowledge galore;
A friend, a companion and so much more,
Let this book-bound journey touch your existential shores.
Books are a hard bound drug with no danger of overdose. I am a happy victim of books. I received a story book as prize in 1st class. My love for reading books began. Every new standard came up with new books and new stories and that was something I always looked forward to. From stories, interest changed to learning science and history. But books always remained constant companion.
Good evening fellow toastmasters and dear guests.
Reading books may be the number one way you can improve your grammar. When you read, you reinforce correct grammar in your mind. ... In addition to improving your grammar, reading will help with all aspects of your writing, from sentence fluency to increased vocabulary, which will help in coming all future speeches.
<< Role description >>
As the Grammarian and Word Master of today's meet, I would be keeping an eye on incorrect grammar usage, mispronunciations, misplaced words and tenses, and the quality of language usage in general. I will also be noting the good words used and I will throw them open to the audience for the meanings. As the word master, I’d like to introduce the word and idiom of the day.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Word of the Day
Example:- All the details that we garnered about his research has been made into a presentation.
Would anyone like to use WOD
Idiom of the Day
In a heartbeat
-immediately, without hesitation
Example:- Call me if you need any help, I'll be there in a heartbeat.
Would anyone like to use WOD
It is a club practice to show thumbs up on the usage of word and idiom of the day to encourage and appreciate the speaker. I would be presenting a report at the end of the meeting, highlighting the incorrect usage and giving the correct usage.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grammar tip:
Problems with 'highest' or 'the highest'?
Most grammar books will tell you that you need "the" before a superlative like "highest" or "lowest", but this is not always true.
We use "the" when there is a noun after the adjective e.g. the highest number, the highest proportion.
When we put the noun before, we don't need "the" e.g. the number was highest, the proportion was highest.
So, compare these 2 sentences:
- The UK had the highest rate of unemployment.
- The unemployment rate was highest in the UK.
