We started our day a lesson on fermenting foods. We were surprised to find that lots of common food in our daily life were fermented, such as cheese and bread. We then did an interesting experiment on fermentation of yeast. We measured the rate of fermentation on different carbohydrates, such as sugar, wood starch, all purpose flour and corn meal.
Our next lesson was Effective Communication. We were amazed at the fact that there were so much logic and techniques to a great speech. We learnt the six principle of persuasion, which was something that got us all engaged in. We also had a chance to present a speech in front of the class and practice our skills of persuading others.
Then, we went to a San Francisco Giants baseball game. Even though we did not know the about baseball game rules, we were influenced by the sportsmanship of U.S. people and we screamed and shouted so hard to support the Giants team! It was very fun and unforgettable, because it is rare for us to go to big sports competitions like this!
