HW Nagisa Kawamura

Today, I learned,"No success without effort."
I was grad to meet sophmore students because they gave me two lessons.

The first is that they are more active than me. They have got meny opportunities such as going study abroad,taking a part in international student forum and Russia-Japan youth conference. Therefore,they make big students network and communites among people in the world by themselves. This active motivation help them grow independently. I also perceived their thinking makes me grow.
Second,they study English hard.However they seemed enjoy it.For example,watching a movie in English,eating lunch with foreign students in cafe teria,memorizing a lot of English words using tiny English words notebook,and having English essay composition in E-Navi.Accordingly,they got a high score of TOEIC test because they make TOEIC study sessions by themseves and teach at library once a week.In my case, when I was a high school students,every Tuesday,I took English Communication skill class.Twice of month,this class gave me a speech test.It made me turned pale because I avoid of standing in front of audience. However,every day I thought about How I could enjoy presentation more.Therefore I practiced every day and invented my body language.I appreciate to my hard work for the final test,I became a best presenter in the class.With this experience,I started to keep in touch in English with friends in overseas.
In conclusion,It is necessary for us to take action by myself and study hard.

HW Makoto Minagawa

I learned from this class within last two weeks. It is importance of talking with confidence. 

In my case,It is hard for me to talk in public. My mind go blank as soon as I start my speech and always loses what I should speak if I practice presentation before the class. Since it's tence and there is not confidence. My teacher said "you talk with more confidence."

Second, I have heard such a story. People who are good at a speech have a common point. It is "having a clear theme" and "made to sympathize with in listener". President Obama's speech has been worldwide attention and the contents become a book. The theme was "Change!" and "Yes,We Can!" It strongly gave an impression on the heart of people. Clergyman King whom it is known by even that he used the word " I have a dream" by a speech is impressed people with it while having a clear theme. 

Finally, It is important give a speech mimicking the good part of the person who is good at a speech to convey what I wants to tell to listener. 

HW Yuki Ikeda

I learn from this class within last 2weeks. After having given a speech several times, I learned  "The speech is not in one and does it with a listener."

First, my speech was too short at the beginning. After a speech, a listener gave advice.Because I did not know what you added, the advice helped me. They said, "Should I not give other examples either?" I added contents based on advice. The contents thickened, and speech in itself became long, too.

Second, Even a speech after having added contents was too short. I had an excess of time, so silence continued. It is a listener then to have helped. They did a question and comment until a time limit was over.I was able to earn time and was able to convey the content, too.

Finally, The listener encouraged me whom a speech did not reach well. They said, "Good gesture! Try the next hard!" I said that I would try more.

In conclusion, I learned "The speech is not in one and does it with a listener." I was able to do it thanks to all. An opinion and the posture of the listener are important. I cannot give a good speech alone.

HW Nanami Shimizu

In my case, I want to work in oversea. I had lived in Philippines and Brazil. Partially owing to that I have dream of oversea. I am learning English, Spanish and Portuguese. Spanish is likely to take the highest point. Portuguese I was talking in Brazil so easy to remember. However, English I was talking in Philippines but I can't speak well now. These days, I felt that it is not enough vocabulary for me. Vocabulary is important for my English. Although story changes a little, I was taught by Mr.Onuki. He said me, "Difficult is not exist for language." I think "That's right."

After graduate Tokai university, I want to advance graduate school. In order to realizes dream, to need linguistic ability. I would like to speak this three languages but I have to learn English speech ability first. That was because for advance graduate school need English ability.

HW Chinatsu Yoshino

 I learned from this class within last 2 weeks. It is “challenge the works which you are not good at.” For example, when I was a junior high school student, I hated English. I could not tell general verbs and be verbs apart. I thought that adjectives and nouns were same kinds. I could not make one sentence with English. I was not good at studying English. So I hated it. I almost did not study English. I went to cram school for high shcool entrance exams before a half year to graduate from the junior high school. Cram school teachers were surprised. Because my English scholastic ability was the same as first year students in junior high school. They said “Have you ever studied English hard?” I thought that I must study when environment to study changed. I could not sloved questions in English little by little. I came to like English onely a little. I thought that I was not what I used to be. It became the confidence for me. It became pleasant for me to study English. 

 It is nonsense actions for me to get away from the works which I'm not good at. I want to challenge the works which I'm not good at.

HW Nagisa Kawamura

Today I learned “If you take a action, You will notice that thinking is important.

 

In my case, When I was a third grade highschool student I learned English conversation skill. Twice of month, this class has speech test. It made me turned pale because I avoid of standing in front of audience. However, I thought every day “How can I talk more fun”. Therefore I practiced every day and invented body language skill. Thanks to my keep up, Final test I got a best score of this class.

 

Finally, I was glad to hear about many lessons from sophomore students. They had a success story and gave advice to me: How to get high score of TOEIC. Frankly speaking, They seemed to know how to study English with fun. For example, Mr. Ruji has good English listening skill because he often watch movie in English. I have poor English writing skill. So I started to keep in touch in English with friend Every day.

 

In my conclusion, thinking for a long time is not useless.

 

HW Nanako Tomii

I learnt three lessons from this class for the last two weeks. First, never to stop making effort. Second, don’t be defensive. Third, keep alert to get new and useful information. I write about the first point that is never to stop making effort.
In my case, I spoke about my lesson in last 2 classes. I had practiced the speech for the first occasion, so I was able to speak and use most of the given time. However, I talked unilateral, so it was hard for the audience to ask questions. Still, I thought it was a good that I practiced. In this class, Mr. Nakagawa, our teacher, said that all classmates would speak in the next class. Nevertheless, I didn’t practice much mainly because I was busy. I couldn’t get a sense of achievement. I learned that I shouldn’t have been satisfied by the first success, and I must not stop making effort.
In conclusion, using this lesson, I want to take actions for my future. First I try to do what I want to do. I never wonder if I study hard or not. Because I always focus on my goals.

HW Roberto Nagaki

I learn from this class within last two weeks. I learn two things, the time is important in first and second grade, and to be resourceful any time. 

 

First "The time is important in first and second grade", I heard this keyword from my superior students, I thought that I'll have more freetime in a third and fourth grade. So it was good for me hear this. Also my superior explain to me if you want to study abroad, you should  prepare your English or money in this two years. 

Second is what I feel in the speech, we had two or three weeks to prepare, but  in the speech I can't said what I prepare in this weeks. In the peparetion times I never thinks that in the speech I talk about myself in Spanish or French, but it helped to me in the speech.

So in my conclusion, is not all the preparation. I have to be more flexible and resourceful  to continue anything.

I learn from this class within last 2 weeks. It is ‘‘chance is not waiting for me.’’

For example, I had experience that I went study abroad England and Australia. This experience makes me strong. Then I learned my lesson, because in foreign country is couldn't communicate Japanese. Therefore I must use English. I challenge speak to my host family, so I could know a lot of things about England and Australia. Maybe if I make not action myself, I couldn't know it.

In England, I can make many friend. It's reason is I talked challenge a lot people. This chance is nothing, if I don't have courage.

In Australia, I loat my way. Then I was very nervous, but I'm lonely. This because I asked Australian about correct way. I said ‘‘Could you tell me the way to the balarat university.’’ If I don't make action, I couldn't go my destination.

In conclusion, If I make no action chance not come to me, so my lesson is chance is not waiting for me.

However last summer I have an admission exam. Therefore last year I stated out late. At first I think to give up.

HW : Yuki Ikeda

After reading textbook. I leaned “Way to success is patiently and surely”.

 

In my case, when I cooked a cake on Christmas, I failed. Because I made it hastily to be in time for dinner, sponge cake was not burnt well. This is because it hurries, and materials were not correct. You had to remake it after all. It has taken time even more. In addition, I have been going to change the kind of the cake because materials had disappeared. I wasted much time and materials by having hurried.It is full of waste.

Waste increases if I hurry, and the completeness falls. Even diet is to be able to say.
