First time to cooperate with Foreigner

This semester, I take the couse named entrepreneurship principles and practices.
My partner is Richard who is from Holland. Actually, he cannot read Chinese cause he just came to Taiwan 2 weeks ago.(not sure) We made the discussion at 16:30, but he didn't show up at that time. He made me think of those attending Taiwanese's wedding party are always late for around 30 minutes. In fact, Richard showed up at about 17:00. He doesn't have bike, so he walks. When he reached, he was wet because of sweat. Then, he saw the paper I translated Chinese website into English version and made the ppt. His English typing is really fast! It took us 25 minutes to finish the ppt. Originally, I want to be the presentor, but I am afraid of that situation suddenly. Luckily, he did a good job even though he didn't familiar with content he was going to present.
Here comes a conclusion, I have to sharpen up my English ability...
