What is the purpose of Toastmasters club? [originaltext] Welcome to our Toast

Welcome to our Toastmasters International Club. Are you looking to improve your speaking and leadership skills? Igniting your career? Winning that job interview? You have come to the right place. Since 1924, more than 4 million people around the world have become more confident speakers and leaders because of their participation in Toastmasters.
    Toastmasters International is a world leader in communication and leadership development.
    Our members improve their speaking and leadership skills by attending one of the 13,000 clubs in 116 countries that make up our global network of meeting locations. Membership in Toastmasters is one of the greatest investments you can make by yourself. At $36 every six months, it is also one of the most cost-effective skill-building tools available anywhere.
    How does our club work? A Toastmasters meeting is a learn-by-doing workshop in which participants hone their speaking and leadership skills in a no-pressure atmosphere. A typical group has 20 to 40 members who meet weekly, biweekly or monthly. A typical meeting lasts 60-90 minutes.
    There is no instructor in a Toastmasters meeting. Instead, members evaluate one another’s presentations. This feedback process is a key part of the program’s success. Meeting participants also give impromptu talks on assigned topics, conduct meetings and develop skills related to timekeeping, grammar and parliamentary procedure. In our learn-by-doing approach, we don’t lecture members about leadership skills; we give them responsibilities and mentoring to help. Trust us, our club offers many benefits that help people in all walks of life.
