Table Topics 

I was second for Harrovians (Lauren of my other club, HOD, was first)

The topic was - I woke to hear my dog talking.

I said what a wonderful topic, just right for me, because I have written a book on this subject. I was inspired by a member of the monkey or ape family which learned 300 words in captivity. The baby listened in and also learned the words.

Humorous speech contest

I was third (despite being shut out of the contest half way though my speech)

My speech was on language.

My greatest challenge was staying awake and having energy and varied tone, no monotone, despite being awake so late. the contest was

on November 8th Wednesday 2023, Area District.

I go forward in the Table Topics contest to the next level which is division on Sunday November 19th . I expect to get an email of confirmation from the division L director Sean Dean.

My speech on Be a polyglot

You can be bilingual, you can be bilingual

Why would you want to be bilingual

Be bilingual - postpone Alzheimer's five years

...evidence ...

More people speak Chinese, but they are mostly in China or Chinatowns

English is the widespread language. People speak English as a secodn language to communicate with each other.

Why would I need Chinese?

Canadians in the capital, Ottawa in government jobs must be bilingual in French and English

Singapore has four languages

Why speak Spanish - a bomb scare in Euston station London, resulted in an evacuation warning but only in English I had to tell a group of Spanish speaking girl tourists to turn back and take the escalator up. I spoke to one of them in French.

esperanto is a simplified language

see the museum in Vienna

In China I lost my group

I got on a coach with German speakers

Why would I need Korean. Because a boy was nearly drowning in my hotel pool.
