1. 什么是Timer

作為Timer(時(shí)間官)，你的職責(zé)是記錄和報(bào)告臺(tái)上演講者的時(shí)間。

• 首先主持人會(huì)邀請(qǐng)你上臺(tái)做是時(shí)間規(guī)則的介紹；
• 然后在整個(gè)會(huì)議過(guò)程中你需要提醒并記錄（除了主持人外）所有上臺(tái)演講的人的用時(shí)，
• 最后在Report環(huán)節(jié)匯你需要匯報(bào)每個(gè)演講者的用時(shí)情況，以及是否有演講者超時(shí)。

AS A TIMER, your role is to record, indicate and report the time for the speakers. You need to inform whether the speaker delivered their speech according to their project requirements or as per the agenda. Since our sense of timing is pretty poor (as scientifically proven), the timer’s report and time reminders (as in green, yellow, and red indicators) are the guides for speakers to improve their time management when preparing their speech and getting a sense of it during their speaking.

2. 時(shí)間規(guī)則介紹臺(tái)詞參考

2.1 時(shí)間規(guī)則介紹臺(tái)詞-版本1 (Timing Rule Introduction)

Dear Toastmasters and guests, good afternoon, I'm Sally. I'm very pleased to be today's Timer.

Generally, there are two different categories/types in Toastmasters, one is short speech, for example, table topic speaker, evaluator, etc. Another is long speech, it includes Prepared Speech, Club officer, GE and so on.

For the long speech, if I show the green card to you, that means you have 2 minutes left; if I show the yellow card, that means you have 1 minute left; and if I show the yellow card, that means your time is over, you should finish your speech within 30 seconds, Otherwise，I will ring the bell to remind you.

For the short speech, if I show the green card, that means you have 1 minute left, yellow card, 30 seconds left, red card, time is up, you should conclude your speech within 30 seconds.

At the end of the meeting, I will give the timing report to you, hope you enjoy today's meeting, thank you.

See below table as the Time Rules:

2.2 時(shí)間規(guī)則介紹臺(tái)詞 - 版本2

As a Timer, my role is to remind speakers on how much time they spent on their speech and how much time they have before they should finish their speech.

I will raise the Green card when the speech is long enough according to their project, usually 1.5 mins for table topics and 6 mins for prepared speech. A yellow card will raise when they should be aware of their time is up soon and Red card when the suggested time is finished. For Table Topics, you speak no more than 2 mins and for a prepared speech, you speak no more than 7 mins. For other roles, the length of your speech is already mentioned in the agenda.

At the end of the meeting, I will present my report to everyone. For now, please enjoy the meeting! Back to you Toastmasters of the Evening!

2.3 時(shí)間官報(bào)告（Timing Report）

About time report, firstly you can point out who is unqualified; we have ±30 seconds for speech, for example, during the 5-7mins speech, 4′30″ is qualified(-30s), 7′30″ also unqualified(+30); we can apply this rule to most of the session.

Secondly, we can try to encourage speakers who are qualified but less used the time. For example, if I used 1:00 or 40s during the table topic, maybe you can say"Lee, hope you can speak more on the stage because you are welcome to go to the stage, this is your time, cherish your time"

if all speakers are qualified, you can say "All of you are qualified. There are four core values in Toastmasters:'Respect', 'Service', 'Excellent', 'Integrity'. Obeying the time means respecting other members and guests, respect is one of the TI's cultures. I really appreciate your respect to time "

3. 注意事項(xiàng)

寫給新會(huì)員的話：

首先看到多這么多的事項(xiàng)，希望不會(huì)嚇到你，因?yàn)樯頌樾聲?huì)員的你一定很難全部記住，這也不是Toastmasters對(duì)時(shí)間官的硬性要求。

這里面有很多是俱樂(lè)部會(huì)議過(guò)程的經(jīng)驗(yàn)積累而已。如果你能瀏覽完一遍，心里有個(gè)全境，知道時(shí)間官要怎么做，就能更好支持整場(chǎng)會(huì)議。

3.1 通用規(guī)則

1. 卡片舉起來(lái)最少10秒,確保speaker看到（如果你是在主持比賽，必須保持60秒的舉卡時(shí)間）；

Hold the card at least 10s to make sure speakers notice it. (Holds the card 60s in the Contest)

2. 紅卡舉起來(lái)之后持續(xù)30秒時(shí)間，以提醒演講者盡快總結(jié)并結(jié)束；當(dāng)超過(guò)30秒后，按下鈴鐺（Officer團(tuán)隊(duì)成員會(huì)提供給你）以提醒演講者結(jié)束演講；

3. 如果演講者沒有注意到時(shí)間卡，就一直舉著，不需要通過(guò)抖動(dòng)來(lái)提示（尤其是在比賽中）。

Do not shake the card to attract the speaker's attention to the card. It might distract the speaker, and it is the speaker's responsibility to check the time.

3.2 中場(chǎng)休息環(huán)節(jié)

1. 中間環(huán)節(jié)Break之后（可能5分鐘， 可能10分鐘） 需要提前1分鐘通知SAA讓大家坐好；

During the break, remind SAA to prepare for continuing meeting in advance ( advance 1minute)

2. Break的時(shí)候還有一件事，就是如果時(shí)間失控的厲害（比如原計(jì)劃20：30休息，時(shí)間到了20：40），要跟TME和GE說(shuō)，時(shí)間和agenda上推遲了10分鐘，接下去要加快節(jié)奏；

3.3 即興演講環(huán)境（Table Topic）

1. Table topic 需要注意2個(gè)時(shí)間，一個(gè)是總時(shí)間（18-22分鐘），另一個(gè)是1-2分鐘的每位演講者（選手）上臺(tái)時(shí)間；總時(shí)長(zhǎng)你就大概估計(jì)下，比如是20：00開始的，那么大概是要在20：20分結(jié)束，到這時(shí)候，你需要面向TTS（Table Topic Master 即興主持人）亮出卡片，提醒她要注意時(shí)間了；

For the table topic, besides the impromptu speaker’s time, the whole session time also needs to be noticed. So you can check the time when the table topic begins. For example, if the whole session is 18-20 minutes, it began at 20:00, you can remember the number. As time went by, you can rise the green card to Topic Masters ( toward her, not the impromptu speaker) at 20:18.

2. 事前和TTM（table topic masters)溝通，讓他幫忙把上臺(tái)的選手的名字寫在黑板上，等你到了Break休息的時(shí)候，上去把時(shí)間填充上去就好了；

Before the meeting, try asking Topic Masters to help you write down the impromptu speaker's name on the whiteboard so that you can quickly fill the time consumed for every speaker during the break.

3.4 其他

1. TME（主持人）正常上臺(tái)時(shí)間是30秒-1分鐘，但是由于場(chǎng)地有突發(fā)情況，比如有人遲到闖入，或者選手準(zhǔn)備PPT出了故障，ta需要在臺(tái)上打圓場(chǎng)，所以一般是一個(gè)老司機(jī)，我們不需要向ta亮卡片，時(shí)間由主持人自己把握；

It doesn't need to show the card to TME, we assume that TME is an experienced member, she needs to handle unexceptional things, such as the speaker is opening PPT, and TME needs to say more.

2. 你是我們團(tuán)隊(duì)的一部分，上臺(tái)即是鍛煉自己，也是支持團(tuán)隊(duì)，不需要說(shuō)任何的抱歉的話語(yǔ)（譬如說(shuō)抱歉這是我第一次做角色等）

Don't say or apologize it's your first time to hold this role

4. 寫在最后：給Mentor的話

To mentor: 這份文檔僅僅是參考所用，如果可以，盡量簡(jiǎn)單的把文檔然后轉(zhuǎn)給你的mentee就當(dāng)做完成任務(wù)，因?yàn)檫@樣做不是一個(gè)很有效的溝通方式。溝通最有效的是面對(duì)面，其次是視頻和電話，最低效的是文檔、音頻和紙張。

image.png

當(dāng)你在面對(duì)面溝通與你的mentee溝通的時(shí)候，你其實(shí)是舉著一把傳承的火炬，把俱樂(lè)部以及的你個(gè)人的品牌，從你的手里，傳遞到新一代會(huì)員手里，而他們以后也會(huì)學(xué)你，把這些的知識(shí)和精神，一代代的傳承下去。

另外， 教就是最好的學(xué)：當(dāng)你能準(zhǔn)確簡(jiǎn)潔的把你的所知講給你的mentee，才表示你真的理解了這些知識(shí)。
