Speaking class Activity : comments

  In this week, we enjoyed the presentations from the students of T sensei's class. Those presentations were about barrier free, and it was very practical topic because wheel chair users are also in this university. From their presentations, I could find the good and bad points of which I was unconscious.
  The more students try to have eye contact, the more their presentation become active. Although we are always told to do so, but I learned the importance of eye contact and speaking without reading especially by listening to others presenting.

My Winter Holidays!

  In this winter, I went to Ibusuki(指宿) in Kagoshima with my family. On this Sunday―it's today―Taiga(大河) drama started, and its heroine is Atsu-hime(篤姫). She was a woman in the Edo period and from Ibusuki. So it was nice time to visit there.
  Besides we visited Nagasaki-bana(長崎鼻), which is the extreme south of Kyusyu, and we could see the horizon. I realized that the world is round.
  It was nice trip!
