12th, Janurary School

I talked about school with my classmates today. Ikumi has been to driving school named Jyouhoku. Kimika has never studied at a juku because she wanted to study by herself.  Keiko has had lessons for dance every Thursday. Kana work at Nets as a tutor. Yuka likes being a student because she has a lot of time to do what she wants.  Kisato has a teacher who is too strick, her English teacher. Mai, S has visited her school, Daiichi at the Coming of Age Day. Misato's cousin is in graduate school.

After talking, we saw two presentation. The first was Kaera Kimura by Kotomi, and the second was the Studio Ghibli by Hitomi.  First presentation by Kotomi is good, because she introduced to many details about Kaera's personality and her job as a singer and her family, her husband and son. Hitomi's presentation is also nice, she was good at categorizing each section. I liked the slide named favorite flying things.

22th, Dec Ipad presentation

     Today was the last class in this year and we did Ipad free topic presentation. The first, I watched Misato's presentation. Her topic was about Sanrio, and she introduced the characters of Sanrio. Sanrio was invented in Japan but countries where each character was born were not in Japan. It was so interesting for me. For example, Hello Kitty, The famous character in Sanrio, is from the U.k.
     The second presenter was Makiko and she presented about Atsuto Uchida, a famous soccer player in Japan. She has many pictures and many interesting topic so I really enjoyed her presentation.
     The third, Iyo introduced Olympic. She studied it very much so I could understand about her topic.
     The last person I watched presentation was Sakurako. He presented about her home town, Fukuoka. It's Christmas season now, so she introduced many illuminated spots.
     This year, we learned how to presentation, so my last presentation is better than my first one, I think, but I still can't introducing about my topic watching listeners. I will practice more in order to be able to make a presentation more frequently.

15th. Dec About holidays

We studied three things in this class. The first, an usual, we asked some questions each other. Topic was "Holiday", especially, Christmas and New Year's Day.
Misato will get Otoshidama from her grand father next year. Kisato will eat KFC for Christmas dinner with her family. Yuka will have Christmas cake for Christmas with her boy friend in Fukuoka. I wish I were her. Kenta will have to work on Chistmas Day. He will work from morning to night. Hitomi will give a Christmas present for her junior high school friend. Kimika will travel to Kagoshima during winter vacation with her boy friend. Ikumi will eat temprasoba for New Year's. Ayako will visit a shrine named Izumi jinjya for New Year's.
The second, we watched the Chaplin's video, and explain story for my group members. It was so hard for me to tell the details because American Christmas was so different from Japanese one.
The last thing we did was learning American Christmas. we filled in the blanks reading the sentences. we also listened to the Christmas songs filling in the blanks.

8th. Dec The poster presentation

We explain about our survey " Christmas and New Year's Day" by using poster. This time was my first poster presentation so I was so nervous. we did presentation 4times, more presentation we did, the better introduction we could explain. The most difficult point was express the percentages or proportion because we hardly talk about them in a daily life. The good point of our presentation is that the poster is very simple. It helps watcher to understand information more clearly. On the other hand, the point is that I watched poster many times. I should have explain about survey watching listener.  After watching  presentation of other students, I noticed that some important points in the presentation. The first is that speaking or explaining loudly. When we watched certain group, we couldn't understand information clearly because their voice was little small. The Second point is the size and depth of a letter in the poster. These points relate whether the presentation is easy to see or not, I think. When I make a presentation next time, I will pay attention about these points.

1st, Dec. ipad presentation

I recoded at my presentations at audio boo watching my slides. At first, I was so nervous but I could tell quickly after a few times practicing. 3 minutes was shorter than I expected so I practiced hard.  Since the microphone didn't work when I recorded in the small voice, I learnt the importance of the loud voice.

17th. Nov and 24th. Nov second ipad presentaiton

I introduced to Berlin in Germany, and listened other presentations. Kotomi told us about New York in the U.S. Since she speak English frequently. I could understand about New York easily. She did presentation seeing us so I'm so interested in her presentation. Hitomi introduced us about Philadelphia in the U.S. The country is the same us Kotomi but contents are very different from hers. She mainly told us about foods. It made me so hungry! I learnt what is a good presentation watching other.
After ipad presentation, we found the classified total of our group survey about Christmas and New Year's Day. I was very surprised at results of others because they are very different from mine.
