  1. I think the overall presentation is ok.

    First of all, I need to make an apology that I spoke so quickly during the presentation, because it’s really difficult to summarize the informative article into a three minutes presentation. I think I did my presentation quite well since our tutor, Wesley, said that I have included most of the important points in my presentation. Yet, Wesley mention that the time allocation is important, as the time is limited, therefore, I only can present the points are most important in the reading, however, Wesley said I covered the reading too specific and too detail.

    As my topic of the reading is rather simple than other two, it is not a hard job for me to handle the topic, therefore, I hope you would understand more about the Virtual
    Community.

    Thank you for your participation in my presentation.
    Wish all of you enjoyed our presentation
