Good morning, everyone, I am very glad to be here to give my presentation today, my topic is Singles Day.

First of all, I have two questions to ask you all, the first one did you celebrate the latest Singles’Day two weeks ago? And the second question do you know about the origin of Singles Day? According to a research, Singles Day is quite popular in china, but several of us knows the origin of Singles Day, now let me introduce more about it.

Single Day, also called One’s Day, it’s Chinese name is guanggunjie.Singles Day falls on every November 11th, and as the name indicates, this new holiday is one especially for people who are still living the single life.I am very proud to tell you that China is the only country in the world that has set aside a special day for singles to celebrate their lives.
There are four versions of the origins of Singles Day, I will introduce you a widely recognized version here.According to Wikipedia, Singles\' Day was initially celebrated at various universities in Nanjing during the 1990s, and originated from Nanjing University in 1993.It got the name Singles Day because the date consists of four \"ones\".These college students have since graduated, and carried the university tradition into
society.The Singles Day has been largely popularized in the internet era and is now a special day for all fashionable youths.
The main way to celebrate Singles Day is to have dinner or go to KTV with your single friends, but it\'s important that each person pay their own way to show their independence.People also hold \'matchmaking\' parties in an attempt to bid goodbye to their single lives.The day is also suitable to confe your love to your mate, it is said that it is easier to succeed on that day than other days.A creative way to celebrate the day is that for breakfast on Singles Day, singles often eat four youtiao (deep-fried dough sticks) representing the four \"ones\" in \"11.11\" and one baozi (steamed stuffed buns) representing the middle dot.
A new way of celebration is to shopping on the internet, and I think you should be familiar with this picture, yes, it is the publicity picture of taobao， and this picture shows us the sales volume of taobao recent years, we can see from this that the electronic busine website strengthen the efforts to Sales promotion and Seckilling activities year by year.The sales volume of singles day this year reaches a amazing amount of more than 300 billion yuan, and the singles day have become a festival of all the businemen.

And then I will show you several pictures representing Singles\' Day culture, Bachelor card, Bachelor group, bachelor ticket, bachelor chopsticks, bachelor bedclothes and bachelor force, they are very interesting and they also show the Chinese youth\'s innovation ability.7
Why is Singles\' Day so popular？I summarized four reasons, the first is that we have been grown-ups, the Children’s day no longer belongs to us so we need this festival especially for young people.The second reason, there are still too many bachelors in universities which I don’t need to explain.The third one is that The day gives people an excuse to relax themselves.The last one is that Shopping discounts and special offer appeal them so much that they can not help to shopping on the Internet.8
My presentation will come to conclusion here, and I will share several words written by myself, If you are single, please enjoy the freedom and happy days; If you are in love, please appreciate your mate, because she/he helps you say goodbye to your single life.At last, best wishes for you all to find your Mr-rights quickly and say good-bye to Singles Day next year!
