20、round and purpose of Toastmasters.D.The training approaches provided by Toastmasters.解析:解析:此题需要根据第一部分的访谈内容进行解答。访谈一开始就谈论了Toastmasters的相关背景,接着谈到其目的、对谁开放以及如何帮助学员学习等信息。四个选项中只有C项的表述在这部分访谈出现,故为答案。A.It is about various vocal development skills.B.It gives a guideline for speech development.C.It helps people
