From Xu Pengxuan

As a moderator, I tried to talk a very energetic and pleasant way. While posing question, I kept eye contact with the participant. However, I felt what I said lacked influence. This may be because that I was not prepared well enough. I was also too busy taking notes to keep eye contact with the participants while they were talking. I gave every participant a chance to talk and asked balanced questions. I linked the participants together by giving a small summary for the previous participant and posing a new question to another participant.
