Presentation Q&A – Week 3


When is the presentation?


Group A: Tuesday, 4^th Oct.

Group B: Monday, 3^rd Oct.


What to talk about?


You will introduce to the audience a new friend/colleague/boss/roommate, etc., real or fictional.
There should be information about his/her basic information (name, age, marital status, etc.), what
he/she does, how and where you met each other, what he/she looks like, what you usually do
together, what he/she likes or dislikes, etc. Try to use as many as possible the new words from
Lesson 28. You can also use the dialogue and reading of this lesson as an inspiration.


How to do the presentation?


You will come to the front of the classroom to speak. PowerPoint presentation is welcomed, but not
required. Your presentation should be around 5 minutes. Try to keep eye-contact with the audience
all the time. Reading from your script word after word is NOT allowed. Please speak loudly and
clearly. Pay attention to the tones.


What to do as an audience?


You should keep quiet and listen carefully to the speaker during his/her presentation. You are
supposed to prepare a piece of paper and write down responses to the presentations of your
colleagues. Please see below the required format and an example of what it should look like.


Format:

他/她叫（name），是（speaker’s name）的（relationship with the speaker）。他/她（what you have heard about this
person）。我喜欢/不喜欢他/她，因为（your reason）。


Example:

他叫张力，是Mary的新朋友。他今年25岁，没有结婚，又高又帅。他和Mary 是在图书馆认识的，他帮Mary
找到了一本书。没课的时候，他们经常去图书馆，有时候去逛街。他喜欢一边看书一边听音乐。我不喜欢他，因为我不喜欢一边看书一边听音乐的人 。


The underlined parts should be customized, using your own words according to the content of each
presentation. You should have one response to each of your colleagues’ presentations. The response
should be written in Chinese characters and submitted to me at the end of the class. During the
presentation, you are free to ask (in Chinese) the speaker to repeat something they have said or
any questions in order to complete your response.
