I am a member of Toastmasters club in Osaka. This club is to make public speech in English. There are many aged members in sixties and seventies. I have attended meetings of TM clubs in Asian countries. Some clubs in the Philippines are almost the same age group as Japan, but the others in Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, India, Indonesia and Taiwan were young in twenties and thirties.

When I read monthly magazine of TMC, I feel that the aim of this club is to develop leadership skills by improving English speech skills. Besides English skills, members are able to have the way of positive thinking and sociability. What we learn here is very useful for our business and career in the companies which we are working for.

But aged members are almost retired persons and they want to enjoy leisure activity and make friends of the same age as theirselves.
Ｔｈｅｙ　like the serious theme and topic of speech which are full with deep profound remarks, They want to share the same feelings coming from philosophy of life of aged people.
