A Lesson to Learn

It is our first rehearsal of the GSE presentation. We were invited to join the Club meeting of Rotary Club of Taipo, the club of our team leader and stage our first presentation.

We have prepared two versions for the day. The first one was a long version with plenty of information about Hong Kong, Macao and Mongolia. However, after a long discussion, we changed our mind to make a short version on a brief introduction of our knowledge to our desination - Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Wearing in our tailor-made blazers, we all look professional. Pauline is the first one who start the presentation. Under the limelight, she still felt quite nervous. Pauline and Yolanda started with a brief introduction of the facts and figures of Brazil and Sao Paulo. We found that it did not work well in the dinner occassion. Joe's part on the comparison of Rotary in two districts drew more attention. Our self-introduction are more attractive than the hard facts.

The audience were generous and they gave us applause but we know that we need more efforts to make the presentation more attractive and presentable. Comments on the layout and content gave us direction to make improvement.

We can comment that our first presentation can bearly passed. We hope we can have more vivid ones in the near future. Our daily planners are filled up with dozens of GSE pre-trip activities.
