首先,两位学生主持人与吴方老师进行了一段主题为“Should we charge for plastic bags?”的精彩辩论,唇枪舌战,吴方老师提出 “Who Uses and Who Pays” 以及“It is about ‘user’pays principle”,学生主持则提出“Encouragement is better than punishment”,本该姜是老的辣,可是初出茅庐不怕虎,我们这两位优秀的学生主持人凭借他们超硬的英语功底以及环保知识的积累,最后与吴方老师平分秋色,吴方老师也不得不佩服现在学生超强的英语表达能力与对环保时事的敏感度。最后,双方达成一致观点:BYOB = Bring Your Own Bag。
At first, the two student MC kicked off a green debate with Mrs. Mei Ng on \"Should we charge for plastic bags?\" The students think \"We shouldn't charge for plastic bags because encouragement is better than punishment. Raising awareness of the public is what we should do.\" However, Mrs. Mei Ng emphasized environmental fairness and collective responsibilities: who use who pay. Reduce the usage of plastic bags is just a part of the 3R principles. In the end, they reached a consensus: BYOB=Bring your own bag.

接下来吴方老师、袁老师作为讲坛的特邀主持人访问了何汶俊先生和JOHN DAVIS先生,共同分享他们各自的平步青云路,四位嘉宾幽默风趣,台下不时响起了热烈的掌声与欢乐的笑声,中英双语的交流形式也给这一环节增色不好。“O'BON国际”设计的环保文具产品让大家眼前一亮。
Then, our two specially invited guests shared their green business vision with the audience. Their humorous dialogue attracted laughters and applause. The story of O’bon’s eco-pencils and folders, made from recycled newspapers, has also attracted students’ curiosity and questions.
在浩瀚的商业浪潮中,为何只对小小的环保铅笔情有独钟?
各类文具琳琅满目,环保产品如何突围而出,成为国际品牌?
在产品设计的王国里,有什么创意能够让人过目难忘?
自然资本、绿色财富、环保创业,是梦是真?
我有梦,你有梦,如何与毕业、创业合而为一?
短短6年的时间,O'BON在美国、英国、马来西亚、新加坡等15个国家建立起了很高的声誉和快速稳定发展的市场,并得到了当地政府的认可,在多个国家他们成为政府环境保护的伙伴。除了因为环保日益受到重视,更重要的,就如两位董事所说,是一种执著的精神,他们可以花上五年时间去研制环保铅笔的胶水,他们可以花上一年时间去设计产品的外观……这恰是当代普遍浮躁的大学生所缺乏的内在品质。两位嘉宾同时强调,当代大学生应该更加注重社会责任感,关注环保就是其中一个方面。
何汶俊先生(HOO BOON CHOON)和JOHN DAVIS先生的“实话实说”,带给了在座大学生和绿色追梦者一种对环保的崭新认识。
How can environmentally friendly products be competitive in a world market? How did you establish a market niche? How did you build your brand? Why did you spent so much time to research and improve the glue and product quality? Who are your target customers? Why so much packaging? Will you consider producing pencils out of used plastic bags in addition to using old newspapers?
Winning support from local governments and consumers, O'BON’s eco-stationery has established markets in US, England, Malaysia, Singapore and 15 countries. The secret to their success is their continuous commitment to quality and innovation. Five years’ research to improve the glue and one year for re-inventing the brand! Mr. HOO and Mr. DAVIS emphasized that bussiness as well as young people should be more responsible to think for the society,and to pay more attention on environment protecting.
The 350 university students in the audience were inspired and enlightened by the green business vision and insights of Mr. HOO and Mr. DAVIS.

在提问环节中,场下的小手如雨后的春笋让我们的嘉宾应接不暇,在问题的轰炸下,连一向记忆力超群的何汶俊先生也要向吴方老师请救,可见我们台下听众的心潮有多么得澎湃。
Question time has arrived. Many hands shot up. Some students raised technical questions such as waste recovery from production process and the toxicity of the ink from the old newspapers. Mr. Hoon and Mr. John Davis patiently replied with details. At times, Mr. Hoon invites input from our anchor Mrs. Mei Ng.

最后进入模拟面试环节,两位听众不顾如此搞怪的嘉宾,杀到了台上,从容得坐下。可是两位interviewers还是没能经受得起O'BON文化的考验,两位董事让我们见识了什么是不走寻常路的面试文化,董事问道“你最大的缺点是什么?”满意回答是“工作太勤奋了”……无论是台上还是台下,都受益不少。
The climax of the evening was the mock job interview conducted by our Guest Speakers. Two undergraduates confidently walked on stage. But the two young interviewers had failed to pass through the test. The O'BON directors,HOO BOON CHOON and JOHN W. DAVIS,decoded the secret of a successful job interview. The audience, particularly graduates-to-be, benefited from the exercise.
