Hi everyone! I hope you're enjoying the weather this week. It's beautiful. I hope the rain stays away for a while! Group Presentations: For most of today's lesson, we went through the guidelines for your group presentations. You were assigned a group and chose your presentation topic. We then completed activities about how to organization your presentation (structure and expressions) and how to prepare your outline You won't have a lot of time in class to prepare for your presentations, so make sure you arrange time with your group outside of class to plan and prepare your presentation. Discussions: Since we spent most our our lesson on learning how to organize our presentations, we only have enough time for one round of discussions. However, I'm quite impressed with how much everyone has improved this semester, especially with conversational style. Keep up the good work! For next week's discussions, remember these points:

Our presentation topic is about Aung San Suu Kyi. She is popular for a leader of non-violent democratization in Myanmar.She is a aso a polotician now and elected to "Chairperson of National League for Democracy central executive committee". We thought she is very inspired person, because she kept fightng for freedom for people in Myanmar even if she was imprisoned for several times. Thanks to her great work, Myanmae is now democratized. On this account, she was awarded to Nobel peace prize. However, she is not so popular in Japan. So we want to introduce her great work to our OE class.

Our group decided to do presentation about Aung San Suu Kyi. The reason we chose her is that she is the most famous person who contributed to the democratization of the world. She is from Myanmar. For a long time, Myanmar was militarism. But she was and is still fighting for it. In 1991 she got a Nobel Peace Prize. It is the certificate of being acccepted by the world. After that, Myanmar was still mlitarism. However, Myanmar started to become democratization recently. This is due to effort of her. Therefore we would like to do presentation about her.

The person we chose for our presentation is Takashi Sakamoto. He is an inventor of BOOK-OFF. There are two reasons why I chose him. First, I have heard that BOOK-OFF began from a very small company, however, they are becoming bigger and bigger these days. I wonder how they have become such a big company. Second, he is not so famous though he is an inspired person. I want people to know about him. Therefore, I will work hard on my presentation.

Our presentation topic is Aung San Suu Kyi. The reason why I chose her is that I just want to know more about her. She is well-known as the leader of the pro-democracy movement in Myanmar. She has faced the Myanmar’s military and has endured a lot of difficulties such as house arrest. Also, she received the Novel Peace Prize in 1991. I really respect her because she devotes her life to the movement. I think that it is far from easy for us to have courage to fight for our mother country. Nevertheless, I don’t know much about her life in detail. So, I would like to take advantage of this opportunity to make a presentation and study about that.

Our presentation topic is about Hayao Miyazaki who is the originator of Ghibli. He is one of the most famous Japanese movie directors in the world. I like his movies very much, especially "Laputa: The Flying Island" and "Princess Mononoke." It is wonderful that he was awarded Golden Bear Prize in Berlin International Film Festival!

My presentation topic is Hayao Miyazaki. My group members chose him because all of us love his movie. We came up to his name as soon as you said us to decide our topic. I think Hayao Miyazaki is the greatest animated filmmaker all over the world. I’ve watched a lot of Miyazaki’s animated movies since I was a child. I always watch them when they are broadcasted on TV. Of course, I’ve also been to movie theaters to see his movies several times. Miyazaki’s works are very interesting and fascinating to people, regardless of age or sex. I hope to know about him more through the preparation of this presentation.

The presentation topic of my group is Nelson Mandela. The reason which we chose him is that he has helped people and society and done something great. He had been in prison for 27 years because he jointed anti-apartheid campaign. However, after he released, he abolished apartheid with President F. W. de Klerk. Apartheid is the former political system in South Africa. White people had full political rights, but other people like black people were forced to live away from white people and go to separate schools and so on. Therefore, he received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993 and he was elected President in 1994. He has been continued to respect deeply as the "Father of the Nation" in South Africa. I think he's an inspirational person! My group will do presentation about him.

Her father is a general Aung San, who was called "Father of the Myanmar" and fought for independence. She is fighting for democratization but the Myanmar's military oppose to it. And she was under house arrest by them from 1989. Then, National League for Democracy that is led by her won an overwhelming victory on general election in 1990 , but the military didn't admit the result.

Our presentation topic is Aung San Suu Kyi. She is a leader of working on democratization in Myanmar. I have two reasons why I choose her. First, I'm interested in her. I studied about her when I was a high school student. The member of Aung San Suu Kyi's group made a speech at high school. I heard that speech and I want to know more about her. Second, there was a big wave in Myanmar which is a democracy. It is the best time of presentation because Aung San Suu Kyi is starting to redefine the position.

Our presentation topic is about Aung San Suu Kyi. She is a very important person who changed Myanmar. It was Aung San Suu Kyi who protested against the overwhelming military dictatorship of Myanmar. To fight against the government needs a great courage, so absolutely I can't do such a thing. The more respectable point is not having used violence to insist on her opinion. Thanks to her movement, Myanmar started to democratize. In addition, she won a Nobel Peace Prize. This means that she was accepted by all over the world. She contributed to a society thus, so we choosed her.

Our presentation topic is about Aung San Suu Kyi. She is a politician in Myanmar. She lead nonviolent democratization. Now, she is chairperson of National League for Democracy central executive committee. She made many efforts for frredom in Myanmar. However, she faced many difficulties at the course of her activity. As a result of her long activity, she received Novel Peace Prize in 1911. I think this prize is an evidence of her effort being addmited. Therefore, we would like to do presentation about her.

Ichiro is the only person who achieved this in major league. Also, he established a new record of hitting 200 hits continuously in 10 years. Only Ichiro had achieved this record, too.
