Hi everyone,

Instead of our discussions, we had presentations again in today's lesson! We got to see four presentations on different social issues in Japan.

We finished our first group of presentations today. I was really impressed with the content of your presentations. You gave a lot of interesting information about your social problem, and offered some interesting solutions.

Overall, everyone made a good effort to make eye contact with the audience, use gestures and presentation language correctly. I was happy to see that many presenters used expressions that they had learned from our discussions: "Let's move onto..." and "Are you following me?"

I'm ready for an announcement sufficiently, so I think it could be improved overall.
There was also a difficult English word, but I think it was handed down to everyone by ad lib.
Every time I rose, the number of times could be done more clearly.
But I think there was a place where a sentence has been just read.
And I'm also worried whether I could answer a question tightly.
I'd like to make sure that I can speak English naturally from now on.
I'd like also to put on the word power.
And I'd like to make sure that the idea can be described correctly freely.

I thought the best presentation was a group that has been talking about ”Karoshi.” Because this group's topic is intelligible and presenters taught me by using some examples. When I said I didn't understand, they spoke slowly again and again.
My English vocabulary is lack, so I was worried about understanding their presentation. But I could understand and it was very fun. I thought that communicating English is interesting through this presentation again. If I don't understand meanings, I can know it to communicate with each other and make a gesture.
I could know about Karoshi deeply in this presentation.

I felt so-so about my presentation. I talked with eveyone by using a lot of simple words and example. Also, I asked them question in mid-sentence in order to attract the interest with seeing them. In fact, it was a very good way. In addtion, I was able to tell them a difficult place in gesture.
However, I didn't explain well against question. I wanted to say but I could not change it into English. I thought to need more English words. And, I thought I can enjoy the more presentation with eveyone.

My presentation that felt that it is the best is presentation about the declining birthrate. This is because it was a poster and contents very easy to read. In addition, problems of the declining birthrate watch even news well. So it was easy to be understood very much. In addition, a listener could understand well or took the confirmation. And there were the exchanges to ask the listener side about about contents during presentation and was very good. There were many places where the presentation served as a reference. In addition, I want to refer to it if there is an opportunity like this.

I think that the best presentation was “Karoshi, Death from over working”.
They tried to use the wards which are familiar to us. When audience did not understand, they talked slowly.
They asked many questions to us so conversation was heating up. I enjoyed their presentation.
I must be careful for “black company”. I work at a cramming school but cramming schools are likely to be the black company. I thought that I should have courage to decline over working sometime.

I thought the best presentation was "Karoshi."
Because their presentation was very plain.
In addition, they devised it for audience.
For example, they talked slowly and it was a loud voice and took the eye contact.
In addiction, it was plain, too.
Therefore, I was able to understand about "Karoshi"I well.
I think "Karoshi" is very bad.
I want to disappears "Karoshi."

I think that the best presentation was child poverty. This is because they devised the presentation. First, they explained a difficult word properly. I changed the words that I was not able to hear to the plain words. Second, they explained it using a chart. I was able to know the chronological history about the tendency to marry late in life. Third, they made presentation with all of the audience. I was able to blow up a story by talking. The presentation that I think to be good from the above-mentioned reason is child poverty. I want to make the thing which wants to convey it together if there is an opportunity to give presentation from now on.

I was absent from the last class.
Because I heard the last class content from a friend, I write it.
In the story of the friend, I thought that it was a group of the karoshi that did the superior presentation.
At first I was able to check contents finely. Because I checked the same subject, it was easy to compare it. The group seemed to have charms different from us. They worked hard to match eyes with eyes. It was easy to see the poster, too.
Therefore I thought the most excellent presentation of the last class to be a group of the karoshi

Our group presented the problem of bullying.
It is easy to say "Bullying is not good."
But we think it is very difficult to ban bullying.
So,we tried to convey about this severe problem to everyone in presentation.
I spoke seeing everyone's eyes but sometimes read paper of the hands.
It was fun for me to make posters with other team members.
And,I want to appreciate our group leader,who got in touch with our English teacher.

I think that presentation of the karoshi was the best. I knew the karoshi a little. I was able to know the karoshi through this presentation more. It was easy to understand the solution to karoshi. It was easy to understand thier opinion about the karoshi. They was able to discuss after presentation smoothly. They answered by the question from audiences well. Therefore I think that it was good presentation.

This time I gave my presentation and I think,presentation is very difficult .I made feeling of strain and did not do it well at the start. When I spoke difficult English, it was difficult to translate it into simple English, and to tell.Talk about what you were conscious of to see eyes.Having I do a gesture, and it be understood.
I have little vocabulary,So it was difficult to tell very much.While I did it many times, I felt it to be fun.There was the time confidence that had it be understood.

I felt fairly good about my presentation. I could speak with gesture. And I could speak loud voice enough for audience to hear. I think these are good points to tell my presentation. However, I have point to improve. I have to think more easy to understand content. When audiences didn't understand vocabulary's meaning, I should have told another vocabulary. I want to do more good presentation.

Unfortunately I was sick and absent from presentation. But I drew an illustration of a poster. An illustration of a distribution map of a nuclear power plant. The theme as nuclear power generation was difficult. I think there were a lot of words the people who hear don't understand, either. Still when the contents are right and transmitted, I'm happy. The contents regarded as my company. If presentation is done happily, I'm happy.

I thought the best presentation was a group that had been talking about "Karoushi".The reason is that I have hardly thought about this.It is very serious problem.When I will come to work,I want to be careful about it.
In addition,this group talked with eye contact.And this group member said"Are you following me?",so that I can understand fastly.
In conclusion,all presentation were interesting and good topic.It was a good opportunity for me.

l was a presenter about "falling barthrate"in the last clase.
I felt it was very difficult that to tell other one what I think.
For example,It was difficult to tell the number only in words.
So, I used graph in order to convey an easy-to-understand the other.
After using the graph opponent also gave me a better understanding.
After using the graph opponent also gave me a better understanding.
But,I should speak a little more slowly.
The announcement was a good experience for me.

I thought the best presentation was a group which has been talking about nuclear power.There are some reason.First of all,one of the group members was absent this day,so only three members had to prepare and give their presentation.I thought they did the best.Second,they had researched about information of nuclear power well. I could know about it much.Third,they talked to me kindly.If there is a word I didn't know,they taught its mean by another English words.It very helped me.There are some good points,so I
liked this group.

I think that my presentation was the good result.
At first, and this is because I could a gesture In spite of being a talking.
Second, to see the eyes of the listener, I was able to talk.
Third, I was able to talk while hearing whether the audiences understood.
But, I was not able to remember some, an English word.
As for me, a meaning might not be thereby conveyed well.
So I will study hard more.
I utilize dictionaries and intend to study.

I think the best presentation was "decreasing birth rate".
This group members always care about audiences' state.They cheaked whether audiences understand or not any number of time. If we do not understand, they explain with easy words and example. And they often used eye contact to audiences. These were helped audiences' understanding.
So, I felt I could understand the deepest to this presentation. If I have a presentation again, I want to do like them.

First I met the family again. The family is Shiga. It was four month after meeting. I played with the friend who lives in Shiga. I was very funny and homesick. But I gained weight a little by overeating. Second, I went to a summer training camp of diving my summer holidays. A destination is Okinawa. It was a summer training camp for five days. A sea was wonderful. It was also possible to judge a turtle from diving. The turtle was two and was very pretty. More fruits also were good and were the best summer holidays. It's pleasant for diving in Okinawa.
