the next slide to give audiences an overview of my talk. Following her other suggestions, I
put more quotes in my talk as evidence to my claim that Taoism has largely influenced
Chinese symbolism both in color and pattern symbolism. I also decided to add more pictures
because I understand that my audiences are unfamiliar with my information. Visual proofs
can give them a better sense of Chinese symbolism and their real-life utilization. After I
finalized my Prezi, I practiced my talk several times more. I noticed that one problem was
that I spent nearly the entire ten minutes, due to the extra slides with the argument and the
road map. To overcome this problem, I made my talk more concise, using only necessary
sentences to cover my ideas. In addition, I cut down some unnecessary parts that thoroughly
describe the picture. After that revision, I only used one short sentence to cover each of the
pictures.
During the actual performance, I believed that I did fine. Because I was a little bit
nervous, I skipped some parts unintentionally. Therefore, I was actually in the expected time
range. During the talk, I intentionally moved around a little bit, utilizing some gestures to be
as natural as possible. I also used the laser to point out specific parts of the picture. The
biggest problem of my talk is that I spoke a little bit too fast, that makes my sentences
confusing sometimes. Also, I was nervous, so I did not pronounce some words clearly and
correctly, and few sentences might not make sense. Next time, if I will give a presentation, I
will speak more slowly. Additionally, I will spend more time to illustrate my points, and
make more analogy, since my audiences are totally unfamiliar with my topic. Overall,
through the multimedia projects process, I have indeed learnt how to plan a presentation, and
realize some of my weaknesses. Most importantly, I become more confident of doing a
presentation in English now.
