Hi everyone,
We started our opinion presentations today. I was really impressed with today's group leaders and your preparation! Conversational Style: At the beginning of our lesson, we had some discussion activities to review conversational style. When we have a discussion remember these points: a. volunteer your opinions and comments b. don't wait to give your opinion c. agree or disagree with speakers d. ask questions e. give your personal experience as examples Discussion Leading: We also reviewed how to lead a discussion. At the beginning of your discussion, remember to introduce the topic (e.g. Today, I'm going to talk about...) Please learn the expressions for checking understanding, summarising and concluding your discussion. In this way, you won't need this worksheet when you give your opinion presentation. I have uploaded the slide presentation from our lesson in the Discussion Skills Lesson Materials section of the website. Homework:
(Today's group leaders don't have to do homework #3 and #5). Blog Question #3: Answer the question. Use an opinion giving expression, and give a reason and TWO examples to support your opinion. You receive 100, 000 yen. What do you think is the best way to use this money? * Write 12-15 sentences. * Use capital letters, punctuation and spelling correctly. * Submit by Monday, October 19 by 6:00pm.

I think most amounts of money to save if I obtain 100,000 yen. Because 100,000 yen is enough large sum of money for a student like me, the reason is because I think that I use it as soon as I had by holdings. For example, various things which I want get into eyes even if I walk the town. I can endure the temptation if I have no money to spare, but will buy it if money is enough. I think that the money disappears immediately when I repeat it. In addition, another reason is to save and can manage the money. When money was necessary, I go to the bank every time and can draw it as much as it is necessary. I prevent it from spending money excessively. And it is important to return the money that remained without using it for the money that I drew to the bank. If it does not do so it, this is because it spends the money that remained. It may be trouble to go to the bank every time. However, I think that you must manage it well because the money is a thing disappearing immediately.

In my opinion,if I received 100,000yen , I would like to go shopping. Because I have to spend money in my income of part time job, in naturally, I cannot buy many things. My income is not so much and almost smaller than 100,000 yen. Also, the most things that I want to do is shopping.. I think 100,000 yen is not so big money but valuable. So I want to spend this money for me. Money is necessary for us. In that , the money that I worked and earned is very important money. This money should be saved for the future. I think it's okay to luxure in receiving money. I want to buy clothes, interior, and beauty goods. It is happy for me to do 100,000yen shopping.

In my opinion, I want to go on a trip to abroad, if I get 100000 yen. The reason is that I want to use its money things like giving chance myself. First, I can’t have a chance and money to visit to foreign country, so I can’t learn a new finding. However I have the money that can use freely. Accordingly, I use it not household goods but something special. I like to travel, and I would feel rich mood and happy. I also got satisfaction by playing with the money abroad. By using that buy clothes, foods and special product. I consider that I may get an interesting idea from vacation. If I live by increasing the money little by little every day, I think it would corrupt when the money have gone. Second, I can do good experience that go to abroad. I want to see foreign culture, cities and take a communication with local people. Though I am not good at speaking English, I want to try my weak point. Therefore I want to go to English speaking country if I go in 100000 yen. I can make chances but it is difficult to obtain something with the money.

In my opinion, I think the best way to use 100,000 yen is to go to Okinawa. Because there are a lot of things that I have never done yet. First, when I was a high school student, we went to Okinawa as a school trip. We planed playing Marine sports, for example “banana boat” , “diving” , “fishing” and so on. However those were canceled because of the typhoon. So I want to play Marine sports at Okinawa’s beautiful sea. Second, I went there with my friend in last February. We planed watching a spring camp of a professional baseball team. We became hitchhikers because we did not have a driver license yet. Therefor, we spend a lot of time for movement and could not watch their training. Now, I already acquired the license so we can go to the place directly where we want next time. If I receive 100,000 yen, I want to go to Okinawa and I do these things.

In my opinion,If I have 100000yen, I buy a new fin. There are two reasons. First reason is that I want to swim faster than ever. Second reason is that a fin is too expensive to buy new one. I cannot spend money to only fin because I spend to the games and training camp. But I want to new one until the next year of Japan Championship. Fin is made in foreign country and it is made of a made-to-order,so it is expensive. Many of those are made by Ukraine craftsman. Taking into concideration to carriage, It cost about 100000yen. I want to have japanese craftsman make it. By doing so, I can reduce time. Further I can save money. More than anything, I can order accurately. Therefore I buy a new fin if I go in 100000yen.

If I get 100,000yen, I'm probably banking 50,000yen. And I have to buy somethings to do many sports. I do various sports. so I have to prepare too many tools. Doing some sports is necessary for sending the better life. Because sports makes us keep physical health and mental health. In my opinion, To keep health needs many money and time and sports. So banking money is keeping our future health. I'm not good at banking money. so I have to banking more seriously than now. Of cause money is not all. However it is inevitable while we live in society.

I think to use for my mother is the best. Because my mother works very much everyday for my family and she do not buy herthing.If I receive 100000yen,I want to take her to the trip. For example go to hot springs , go to see beautiful scenery,go shopping and so on . But actually,I want to take the trip using money which I earned by myself.

When 100000 yen are understood in my opinion, I shop. I'd like to save money, but it isn't possible. A college student never has enough money. And I'm living alone. A meal doesn't have enough money and becomes shabby. I'd like to buy a lot of vegetables and fruit. It fills neither, so it can't be bought so much. When having 100000 yen, it's divisible into whether they're some months, and I'd make it the charge of board. But the overuse of money isn't good. I think I have to manage money and use it tightly. We live in money a parent did and got. The college student who isn't in trouble about the charge of board should thank.

In my opinion, I think the best way to use 100,000 yen is to go to Hokkaido.This is because my grandparents live in Hokkaido.I have not been meeting grandparents for a long time.Therefore I want to go to Hokkaido and meet my grandparents.It is good to meet them.For example,my grandparents are very old and they have diseases.I don't know what there is when.So I want to meet cheerful them.Also, if I go to Hokkaido, I can cheer them up.Because when I call them, they ask me "when do you come to Hokkaido?"This meaning they want to meet me.So,to go to Hokkaido is the best way to use 100,000 yen for me.

In my opinion,shopping is the best way to use 100,000yen.University students go to school in plain clothes everyday.It's a very hard thing for me.It comes from my few clothesI'm troubled with choosing clothes every morning.However if I had 100,000yen, I would be able to buy many things.For example,clothes,bags,accessories and so on.If I had many clothes, I would wear different clothes every day.As a result, I would be enjoying dressing up.Also, I don't need to be troubled every morning.100,000yen would give me a fabulous and comfortable morning.In conclusion,I think shopping is the best way to use 100,000yen.

In my opinion, if I receive 100,000 yen, I buy things which I want. The reason is that bought articles stay there. For example, traveling or eating delicious food only remain as memories. However I will make memories with the real things. Also I really have greed. For instance, I want to buy books, DVDs, iPod, big bookshelf, new bicycle, wall clock, etc. I like to imagine the world of creations. Therefore DVDs and books make my mind rich. I have many of them, but I need more. And then, bookshelf and clock are necessary for my room. But usually, I probably don't buy them. If I have 100,000 yen at one time, the quality of my life improve.

In my opinion,if I receive 100,000 yen,I would like to buy something to wear or have a massage.The reason is that I belong to a club,so it is hard activities and schedule.There is no time to work a part time job.There is no time to be relaxed too.For example,I want to go shopping in Ginza.There is a lot of shop and department store.These are fashionable. I want something to wear in this fall or winter.Also,I want clothes for my club activities.Winter is so cold that I want a warm jacket.Another, I want to have lymph massage.My body become to be painful.Always,I am standing while doing club activities,so my legs are swollen. I hope I receive 100,000 yen!
