Speaker number one was reading from the slides. I am not sure if she is actually prepared for an English-speaking presentation but last minute changed it to Chinese-speaking - which might explains why everything she is saying is completely from the slides. And the slides has so little words somemore...
Speaker number two, at the beginning of her presentation, said that she will not be presenting in Chinese. But she slipped in a bit of Chinese every now and then. I thought she will be alright...but she was reading from her script and she almost made no sense to me. Oh no...
Speaker number three is a great speaker. Oh yes... But most of his presentation slides are in Chinese and his topic is about financial derivatives. Damn lo... Financial derivatives in English I already have problem understanding. In Chinese...ok, I am going to pretend I am listening. Ok la..it wasnt that bad. Thankfully he still slipped in a bit of English so it wasnt too boring.
I dont know what was I doing there.

'Cos boss ask you to go?
no la. my colleague asked me if i have time to go and said i can choose not to go when it is time. but i felt guilty if i dont go and so i went. urgh... I stayed for the whole seminar while the other two escaped halfway
aduh, they left u alone pulak. hmm.. i think i will fall asleep if i were u during chinese presentation. just yesterday i went to the bank, i got directed to a chinese guy, he wanted to speak to me in mandarin and ask if i can speak, i commented a little but continued to speak English.
i regret not learning more mandarin bcos the asian banks hire asians who can speak mandarin and cantonese. =(
I didnt feel sleepy..more like bored. But I cant blame the presenters. They are not professional presenters.
Try watching more taiwanese dramas. You can improve your chinese that way.
