    1. Improvised speech. It was surely the most difficult activity, I think, but I need such activities to learn to speak English more naturally. I thought I did relatively well in the presentations, but when it comes to spontaneous talking, I still always have trouble finding the appropriate words to say.
    2. Some warm-up phrases like "Do you love me?" and "Do you wanna give me a kiss?" As for me, I knew, of course, they were just for practice and I didn't care, but forcing students to say what they don't want to say could be dangerous, possibly.
    3. To continue making speech preparations for various topics and practicing them for some interview tests of English. Hopefully, I want to add one new speech to my repertoire each week.

    1,presentation.
    I enjoyed presentation.And to hear my class's presentation was very interesting,so I want to do it more.
    2,well, I think jokes doesn't need. I think to watch a movie or something like that ,which include many jokes rather than to present some jokes to class.
    3,try to speak to foreigners or try to make a foreigner friend. Or, go to English-speaking countries. Moreover, I think it is the best idea: talk with you!!!!!

    Thanks.

    1.I enjoyed practicing improvised speech. At first it was a little difficult of talking as soon as you were given a topic, but I think it was quite meaningful.
    2.I didn't like practicing the speech with partners many times. The content of your speech was known to some people beforehand and in the presentation day, it lacked freshness.
    3.Maybe I can watch some English movies and use the expressions from them.

    I enjoyed your class!!!! Thank you very much!!

    1. I like improvised speech the best because it was not only a lot of fun but also a good practice for improving a skill in English conversation; I mean, if we want to do so, it is difficult but necessary for us to convey our thought or feeling in foreign language. We had a good chance to get such a skill:)
    2. Well... Nothing:) Originally I don't like speaking in front of people but I enjoyed presentations.
    3. If I have much time, I'll take part in the Speaking Session of ELC.

    1. It was instructive for me to know how to compose a good speech. I'd like to learn more what we should do in order to improve our speech.
    2. I didn't like practicing my speech many times in class. It would be enough if we practice twice.
    3. I belong to ESS, so I will continue to participate in activities of ESS in order to improve my speaking ability.

    I loved your class! Thank you very much!!:)

    1.Presentation
    It was very delightful because I could say what I wanted and understood to my friends.It is fantastic that I send my opinion or information. Also, listening my friends' opinion was enjoyable,too.
    2.Hmm...I don't know.All classes were worth doing,I think.
    3.I'll utilize ELC speaking section and my internet(I have a soft for speaking).Or, I'll go and talk to you,Matt:P!

    Your classes were really interesting!
    Thank you very very veeeeeeeery much;)

    These therapies are great for people who tend to overanalyze
    their situations and will be of great use to them.
    Your talents can also be of use in rehabilitation centers.
    Although a lot of massage clients to prefer to be quiet during
    the massage and just enjoy the relaxing massage in silence, there are also those that like to
    strike a conversation with the masseuse, which gives you the opportunity
    to learn more about your clients and build a good professional relationship with them.
