The title of the passage seems to be elusive. But when I decided to start the comparison of the presentations, a book came into my mind at once. It comes from my favorite author Murakami Haruki (村上春树), and the book’s name is What I Talk About When I Talk About Running. There are so many similarities between giving a presentation and running described in the book. For instance, in the book, it says in the first seldom years, when finishing a long-distance running, the only thought of the author is that I have finished a big task and would not have to run now. The thought is the same when we finished a big presentation. Because of the similarities, the aim of my passage is alike the book, which is to have an introspection of giving a presentation.

I used to talk about how to get a job with an HR of a big company. His answer is that if you know how to give a presentation, you must get a job. Another thing reminds me the value of giving presentations is that some local government paid more than 1 million Yuan to the professor for a 30 minutes’ presentation. As a student, I have to give more than 5 presentations one semester. That is not a relative high number compared with other academies, but it surely occupies a big part of our study.

But why we have to give so many presentations? In other words, what’s the meaning of giving a presentation?
