The presentation of the 7-day basic cost

Last week, we have a presentation. Each group can choose one of the three topic to test and give a report. Our group chose the topic about "The basic cost in a week". It has the connection with the article about Singer's solution for the poor. It was very interesting that most of the groups in our class chose this one as their experiment. Because we thought it was easy to do. But I found I was wrong. It could be a kind of torment that made me annoyed.

During the 7 days, I could only eat bread and milk for meals. Although I could have dinner with others together which was already free, I couldn't keep on doing it. So after 3 days later, I ate lunch at canteen in the university which made me really happy. Sometimes, I was walking in the street and market when I saw a thing I like, I should just see it for several minutes and give it up at last. Finally, my action gave me the return that I saved almost 25 dollars which was hard for me to achieve.

When the presentation started, I was really nervous. I didn't know why I became so restless because I also gave several presentation in my school. The one main reason I thought was the first group did so perfect which gave me much pressure. When it was my turn to say, I found my heart was throbbing strongly. I must say something I told to myself and I really did it. Although I didn't say very well, I still kept on reporting. I wanted to try.

After our presentation, I could still hear my heart was jumping up and down. The encouragement from my partners gave me much power to finish the presentation. At that time, I could not believe I did it. HAHA.

Other groups' presentation were great, especially their experiments and PPT. I wanted to do better in the future and this presentation class gave me a good and impressed experience.

  1. Hi Hao,

    What a lovely post! I liked several things here: your honesty about the difficulty of the experiment as well as the difficulty you had when you went to give your presentation. I am so happy to hear that you felt support from your group and that that support helped you succeed. Excellent! I am also curious: why do you think that the experiment was so hard? After all, it was only for one week.

  2. Thank you for comment. I think it hard because I can hardly keep on saving money in a week. How can I save it whole life as Singer's saying. I can't imagine it!Haha.
    The decision between buy and not buy is really difficult to choose.
