Hi, Matt.
ReplyDeleteWow, I've never become the first to post a comment!
I might talk about my favorite computer, Macintosh. I would try to encourage audience to use Mac computers by showing their good points.
Another topic that I might do for the next presentation is about table tennis. I would tell you my episode in a pingpong club in Jr. high and what pingpong brought to me.
See you next week.

Hi, Matt.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the last class so much!
But I worry whether I can answer questions well…
I want to speak about mixing animals. I knew of that from your text, and I got interested in it.
I also want to talk about rites of passage, initiation. It occurred to me by chance, so I need to investigate that hard.
See you next class!

Hi Matt!!
ReplyDeleteI had a very good time in the last class!
I would like to talk about "DQN name" in the presentation#2. "DQN" is a Japanese slang of a mimetic word "to be shocked". I want to talk about unusual name of children which can be seen in Japan recently.
Another topic I want to talk about is about my dog. But I think the topic "DQN name" sounds more interesting, so maybe I'll choose the "DQN name" as a topic for my presentation.
See you soon!

Hi, Matt!!!
ReplyDeleteI have'nt decided well about the presentation2,but I have some ideas,so I'll write them here♪
The first idea is 'the meanings of dreams'.
I have heard dreams have specific meanings in them!
They say that the dreams of someone's death have positive meanings♪
This sounds very interesting so maybe this will be the topic♪
The second one is 'the experiences I had in Japanese countryside'.
There I experienced agriculture and farming.
I want to share with class what I've learned from it!
That's all!
Have a nice weekend♪♪♪
T2 Momoko
Hi, Matt!!
ReplyDeleteI want to talk about animated cartoon. Animated cartoons are very interesting. In addition, we can acquire various things from them.
Another topic I want to talk about is gender. Today, there are many gender problems. We can't live without being concerned with gender.
T3 Shota
Hi Matt.
ReplyDeleteThe first topic that I want to talk about is `the importance of taking sleep`.
The day before the last class I had no sleep so I thought taking good sleep is very important.
The second topic I would like to talk about is `the history of hip-hop` .Now I`m in a street dance club and I love hip-hop music,so I thought it would be intersting to research about the history of hip-hop.
See you Tuesday:)

Hi, Matt.
ReplyDeleteIn the last class, it was very helpful to me to learn how to use fillers properly. I think I overused them before.
One of the two topics is "High Heels." Women look stunning when they put on high heels, provided they walk beautifully. I'll also introduce when high heels appeared.
The other is how to make "Shepher's Pie." This is British meat pie. We, the English Department, may serve it in the TUFS FESTIVAL!
See you next class.
Noe T3
Hi,Matt.It's about 1 a.m. so I'm so sleepy..
ReplyDeleteThe first topic is "Travel to Space". With technological improvement, we will be able to travel there in the future. So, I'll talk about how much it costs, food in space, safety and so on.
The second topic is "The power of photo album". We have a lot of photos of ourselves, our family and friends, and sometimes we remember many things with seeing them. The photo album has a great power to make people feel something that can't be explained. So, I want to talk about mystery of it, my story and its effect.
See you next class!
I'm sorry that I forgot to write my name.

Hello!
ReplyDeleteOne of the two topics I would like to talk about is some creatures in the deep sea.You can see many strange fish on the Youtube! They are very mysterious because there are many unknown fish in the deep sea!
Another topic is about dogs and cats brought to public health centers. In Japan, dogs and cats have been always popular pets. However,I think we have to turn our eyes to those who are taken to the public health center by cruel people and killed.
See you!

Hi, Matt!!
ReplyDeleteI had a realy good time in your class last week!
My topic #1 is "Being someone". It's about playing dramas or roll playing. I like acting rolls, and now, I practice on the English drama everyday as a member of ESS!
Being someone is very fun for me. So, I'll talk about merits and demerits(perhaps!) of rollplaying.
My 2nd topic is "My life with music". I love music, and music made what I am today.
Thanks to my parents, who love music, I can play the piano and the flute. Also, I love singing. I can't live without music!!
So, I'll talk about how wonderfull it was and is to live with them.
Like I wrote in the 2nd frame, I'm practicing everyday for my first stage on 7/7. It's a English play originated in the English movie, "Freaky Fryday". Do you know this movie?
See you soon!
T2 Miyuki
Hi,Matt!
ReplyDeleteWell...I've been thinking about my topic and indeed I'm still irresolute.
But I choose this two topics for the time being.
1. Power of the mas media.
I went to North Korea when I was 17 to see and learn a lot of things and what I thought is that all the information about North Korea which is from Japanese mas media is right.
I want to tell it to the class more.
2.Gender
Today, we have many gender problems and can't be indifferent to the preblems.
I admit it but I may have a little different viewpoint about the issue from others so I want to tell my opinion to the class.
These are topics which I've wanted to discuss with someone since I'm a high school student.
I think these are heavy topics but I want to tell the class my opinion and ask their opinion.
See you next class;)
Shiori T2
