Last presentation

1.Topic is diferent by the presentator

2.
Mako's presentation
  She talked about her reading circle. Now, I know she likes reading and read vast amounts of books. But, she was no good at reading originally. That reason is that she though of meaning of new words during reading and the speed of reading was not fast. She read again and again, however, she can read smoothly. Then, she told us steps of reading. 1.  read a book 2.  pick up some points, comments and questions. 3. read it again to answer her own question. 4.  compare the story with other materials like movies and videos. 
  I don't hate reading, so her story was interesting.  I also though of the meaning of new words, so I sympathized with her. In my case, however, I didn't try to read many times. Therefore, I think her effort was great and her reading circle was interesting. Through her steps, I want to enjoy reading!

Kenya's presentation
  He talked about one-side love. He experienced one-side love. I have never experienced it, but his story helped me imagine the love. He introduced tips to get lovers. 1.send a massage in a timely moment. 2.give compliment in a casual manner. 3.always smile 4. appeal oneself 5. try some magic.
When I have someone who is my lover someday, I want to try it...
  On the whole, his presentation was persuasive. That's because he mentioned his own experience and movie whose topic is one-side love. Then he used statistics and his material was clear to see. Through his presentation, I got some interests in one-side love, so I want to try some movies related to one-side love.

Rie's presentation
  She talked about the split family.  There are many children parents divorce, and they want two parents to live together again. She said that divorce was mot always bad but people should avoid it for their children. I agreed with it. Then, she told us some solution. 1. parents should live together for several years before they get married. 2. they should respect each other's self-esteem.
 In her presentation, she introduced a movie where there were a such a problem. So, I could consider the problem imagine the situation. First of all, it is important for couples not to have relationship where  they realize divorce. Therefore, two tips which she said is so valuable.

Satoru's presentation
  He talked about the rights of immigrants. He agrees with the idea that immigrants should have the same rights as citizens, of course in Japan. Now, Japan has many problems, for example, aging population, decline in birthrate and the shortage of workers. But, if immigrants lives as Japanese, the problem might be better. Therefore, the conditions of living for immigrants should be better. Then, he said that immigrants without citizenship should have the right to go to vote. In his presentation, there were full of ideas, and it was so serious.
  Through his presentation, I though of the problem. It is so difficult and serious. Like Satoru, thinking about the problem is so valuable.

Nanako's presentation
  She talked about the unborn babies which mean abortion. Compared to Japan, people have an abortion commonly in China and Russia. There, abortion is permitted in general. There are a lot of people who make the same decision in Japan. Especially, when teenagers have baby, they can't take care of the baby, and it become unborn baby. knowledge or abortion is important!
  Nanako's topic is so serious like Satoru's one. I think this problem has to be taken notice by not only Japan but also other countries where abortion is commonplace. Abortion is the same as killing babies. Therefore, we should think about the problem globally. Nanako's presentation might be good trigger for us.

3. My presentation
  I talked about word play, especially pun. I think word play is one of the highest communication tools and only human can use. the benefits of word play are as follows. 1.It can be ice-break tool. 2.It express what I want to say specially,rhetorically. (In conversation, word play like pun enrich the expression) 3.playing on words help remember when we study.
  I tried this presentation remembering what classmate have advised me. Of course, I got nervous as usual. I wanted to speak more loudly...I wanted to look people more... I wanted to introduce original pun... Next semester, I want to improve more and more!( Through presentation of this class, I rather developed !!)

Fifth Presentation

1. Topics
⑴The strengths and weaknesses
                    or
⑵The experience that we have learned from

2.
Kakeru's presentation
   He talked about his strengths and weakness.  He plays a card game and he has been to many prefecture-Fukuoka, Kagoshima, or Miyazaki, for its competitions, and he makes many friends. At the same time, he thinks the hobby can be childish, he said. He spends his earned money for it, and he wants to save his money.
   In my case, I like games, but I am usually satisfied with only watching people playing games. So, I think it is his advantage that he has something which he can be enthusiastic and he can be active for it.  Associating his strength with his weakness was good point of his presentation. 

Miho's presentation
   She talked about her strengths and weakness. First, her weaknesses are as follow. 1. She can not woke up early. 2.She tends to be idle 3. She can not say "No". These points apply for me, so I could think of myself through her talking. Next, her strengths are as follows. 1. she can laugh well every day 2. She has a positive thinking. 3.She learns a lot of things from her mistakes. 3. She can be gentle, and friendly. Then, she introduces some famous words at last, and she seemed to continue improving her strengths  through the words.
   I think grasping oneself in both good and bad points is important for us.  And, what is more, trying developing the good points is valuable. She could do all of them, so I think her talking was attracting.

Aya's presentation
   She talked about her experiences and what she learned from them. She talked the experience of junior high school and one of high school. When she was a junior high school student, she belonged to the brass band club. At that time, she couldn't play the convincing sound. She practiced again and again, and she searched information to improve her play on web.  Then, when she was a student of commercial high school, she wanted to learn commerce and English, so she studied for her self, and  she went to abroad for studying.
   Through these experiences, we could see her effort, and it moved the listeners. "Efforts will be rewarded".  I understood her story because I also talked about my ski experience like her.


Ayari's presentation
   She talked about her experiences and what she learned from them. She mentioned an accident when she was a junior high school sophomore. Junior high school usually prohibits bringing sweets, and also did her school.  One day, the discovery of sweets made her teacher angry. But, after that, she got sweet again, and she had to apologize in public.Through the experience, she learned as follows. 1. We should not do what is been prohibited. 2. We should not betray some important people. 3. It is hard to get back trust again if we lose it once.
   When she talked about this story, she named the accident "Candy Problem", and I got a humor in the bad accident. Then, learning from bad experience is so important to improve ourselves. Therefore, her story may have persuaded the audiences.

3. My presentation
   I talked about my experience and what I learned from it. The experience was ski as the school trip. I learned many things, and one of them is never giving up. It looked like Aya's story.  So, I could sympathize with her.
   But, I was so nervous. I think my hand tremble made my materials difficult to look... And, I used strange English...Sometimes, my tension destroys my English pronunciation and intonation...Therefore, next time, I wanted to be conscious of such points so so strongly and make a good presentation.
