Speaking English in public meetings is necessary for many students and employees.The best way to improve is to practice public speaking in a friendly environment.Learners need to receive feedback about what they are doing well and about their mistakes.One group that gives members the chance to practice is Toastmasters.Toastmasters is an international organization that holds weekly meetings.At the meetings，members each give a speech and give others advice about their speeches and speaking style.
