【时间官Timekeeper】Madam (Mister) Table TopicsMaster, fellow Toastmasters, and guests, I will be timing our Table Topicsresponses and the prepared speech evaluations. Our goal is to complete eachspeech after the green card is shown and before the red card appears.
I will show the green card starting at 1minute into the speech. I will continue holding up the green card until aminute and a half when I will raise the yellow card. At 2 minutes into thespeech I will hold up a red card. You will have 30 seconds after I raise thered card to finish your Table Topics speech.
【时间官Timekeeper】Thank you Madam (Mister)General Evaluator.
One of the skills of a Toastmaster is todeliver a speech within a strict time limit. In order to accomplish this taskwe will be using a timer and three cards, green, yellow and red to signal thespeaker.
Anyone who will present their “Ice Breaker”speech today will be given four to six minutes to complete the speech. Thismeans you must pass the four minute mark but not exceed six minutes by morethan 30 seconds for your speech to qualify. If you exceed the 4 and a halfseconds you will need to repeat the speech at a later date and you will not bein the running for the “best speech” competition held at the end of thismeeting.
For all other speeches presented today fromthe Toastmasters Competent Communication manual, you will be given 5 to 7minutes. Your speech must last longer than 5 minutes which will be signaled byme holding up a green card. At 6 minutes, I will hold up a yellow card. Whenyou see me hold up a red card, you will have 30 seconds to complete your speechor it will not qualify.
The green card will be raised once youqualify, a yellow card will be raised during the midway point. Once you see thered card raised, you will have 30 seconds to complete your speech to qualify.

4 – 6 minutes for Ice Breaker speeches:
Green card at 4min,
Yellow card at 5min,
Red card at 6min
5 - 7 minutes for manual speeches:
