Toast is a social speech at the beginning of the banquet. The host expresses warm welcome, cordial greetings and sincere thanks, and the guests express thanks and heartfelt wishes. It is a courtesy to entertain guests. Its content mainly describes friendship, requiring short, solemn, enthusiastic, decent and generous language. Toast, also known as toast, is one of the important styles in the study of daily applied writing.

Greetings have two structural forms: "concise" and "written":

Concise types often express their good wishes with one or two incisive sentences, and sometimes they can quote poems into famous sayings to express their feelings.

The other is the style of the article, which consists of title, title, text and wishes. The written title can be directly written as "Toast" or "Toast", or it can be composed of the name of the speaker, the name of the meeting and the language, such as "Toast at XXX Meeting" and "Speech at XXX Banquet". The written format is as follows:

1 title.

Two titles. Address forms are generally universal and can be determined according to the identity of the participants, such as "ladies and gentlemen:" "friends" and "comrades". In order to show enthusiasm, kindness and friendliness, modifiers such as "dear", "respected" and "distinguished" can be added in front.

3. Text: Under what circumstances, the author (or representative) welcomes, thanks and greets the attendees; Talk about achievements, functions and significance; Looking forward to the future, contact the mission. Short in length, colloquial in language and enthusiastic in attitude.

At the end, I often use "who can I drink to and why?"
