Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.
I really like that quote and it's so true.
You know anytime you're in walk with something new. It's good to have a friend ,or a mentor, or someone to talk that walk with you, even if you're in the dark. Having someone there to hold on you, to lift you up, to keep you going, that’s so important. When you're alone in a day, you can be lost. You can not be able to find your way, but if you have a friend, someone to guide you, or mentor you , or to talk to, that’s so important. And that’s why as Toastmasters I think it's really important that when someone comes to our club that we need to really extend our hand, our friendship to them and make sure that they're comfortable with the room, comfortable with how we do things inour club. I just think it's really important that we mentor and be more than friendly, more than just faces on your screen. Really emphasize with them, and be a friend. Thank you. Does this sound natural?

And altered the last sentences so that the feeling and meaning you were trying to express would come through better.
By the way, I agree with your speech. It's good that you think that way about the new people that come to your club. I'm sure that they will be able to pick up on your friendly energy and it will make them feel welcome and like they've found a home at Toastmasters.
Anyway, I hope this helps.

Oh, so it isn't just me. The button doesn't work for you either. Thanks for telling me.
I'm glad I saved the link to your recording then, because the song in the recording has been playing in my mind all day. I've been wanting to look up the song and listen to it, but I can't remember the name of it. Will you please listen to the lyrics of the song in the recording and type the Chinese words for me, so I can find the name of the song?

Are any of your seafood products so dry that you don't need to refrigerate them?
By the way, in English, we shorten the word "refrigerator" to "fridge", but not "refridge".

You're welcome for the script corrections.
I've seen the dried, but not the refrigerated items. What are some of the names of some of the refrigerated ones?
Oh okay, thanks for listening to the recording anyway. Hopefully your coach has the songs on a cd to be able to find the name. Have you ever heard of the app named "Shazam"? I have it on my phone. Whenever I hear a song and want to know the name of it, all I have to do is click the "listen" button and the app will listen to the song and tell me the name of it.

I discovered the Shazam app, because in the past I was working on construction sites where a lot of the workers were Mexicans who would listen to Spanish radio. I would hear a really awesome song, but I didn't know Spanish, so I wouldn't be able to hear what the name of the song was. And I was both a little too shy to ask the workers for the name of it and also sometimes the workers couldn't understand me when I did ask them, because they didn't understand English.
Oh, I see. Octopus and calamari. That makes sense.
I corrected your sentences on your other question page.
I really enjoyed spending time with you and talking with you today. I am really sleepy now though, so I'm gonna go to bed. I hope the rest of your day is lovely and enjoyable. Goodnight 志宏

Hi 志宏
How did your Kearney Toastmasters meeting go this morning?
Also, because of our time difference, I can't remember if your two days off is over already or if today is a day off for you, so if I'm messaging you while you're working, sorry about that.
Anyway, I'm gonna go relax by answering people's English questions and Chinese stuff for a little bit before I go to bed.

Hi 紫欣
The meeting of Kearney Toastmasters went smoothly.
With the scripts corrected by you, I performed confidently in front of the screen.
I started working today and normally the business is slower on weekdays, so I have time to login the Hinative to check your message. It's gald to receive a message from a friend far way in the USA, 😄.

@Patrick0310
I'm glad it went smoothly and that your confidence shined through. I remember watching your awards ceremony video a while back and your performance was good in that too, because it seemed like you carried yourself and spoke like a game show host or a talk show host. Where is that video by the way? I remember taking time to write my thoughts and notes about the video while I was watching it, but I don't remember if I showed them to you or not. Anyway, your question yesterday mentioned a new member named Julia. Just curious, what is her reason for joining? What is she hoping it can do for her?
Oh okay, something in my gut was telling me it might be a work day and I was right. Well, maybe talking to me can brighten your day a little. It's good to see you and get a message from you too!
By the way, just some small corrections.
"login the Hinative" is wrong.
"login to Hinative" is correct.
"gald" might just be a typo, but "glad" is the correct spelling.
"glad" is an emotion that describes a person, so use the words "I'm" in front of it.
Example: "I'm glad to receive a message from you."
If you want to use the word "It's" then the word after that would be "good".
Example: "It's good to receive a message from you."
==================
P.S. - I love how you say "hmm" where the laughing smiley face is. haha
