    Interesting comments Tamon! I agree with you that Agyapong's slide of his mother was extremely effective. It really personalized his talk and gave an urgency and immediacy to it. He showed the human face of what happens when small & medium sized enterprises fail. I too will use the presenters' boldness as an inspiration for giving talks. David :-)

    I also think they looked confident. I guess they became brave through many failures.

However,  I moved to Hiroshima right after I was born and spent 18 years there, where facing the sea and surrounded by a lot of nature. I have a family of four and I am very close with them and have dinner with them every night.  I really love to hang out with my friends and we often go out to have a dinner or drive around. Since I became a college student, I have more choices of places to go and I feel that my life is much more fulfilling. What I am not good at is cleaning my room. I can't keep things organized, but I buy things I don't need and make a mess in my room. Therefore, I would like to learn to distinguish what I need from what I don't need Finally, I would like to talk about my goals. I have never taken TOEIC before, and I do not know how high I can get, but I will do my best to get a high score because this score will be highly evaluated w...

My ideal school -- Ayano Yoshiike

My ideal school Ayano Yoshiike   If I were an educator or a school principal, I’d like to introduce a method called “4 trees”. I have come up with this system by myself, so I’d like to explain it. “4 trees” is a method which 4 educational approaches are combined. The first approach is adopting high tech classes. The second one is adopting outside classes that teach students agriculture and environmentally-friendly activities ． The third one is adopting self-organization study.

Also, they can work with their classmates, and they can even have their individual studying time. However, there is a problem. Students would be lazy whilst they are studying by themselves. To solve this problem, we can hire mentors...

Past Pandemics: A Reflection -- Mashiro Yamashita

 I was surprised the most about death toll. For example, because of the plague, about half of Europe’s population was died. It was a surprising number for me.  I think the plague is most terrifying pandemic because the color of skin become black. It is so scary that they might feel very nervous at the time.  What we can learn from these pandemics is that living environment is important. These pandemics occurred because of urbanization, the bad situation of a water pump and so on. If their living environment had been good, we would have been able to prevent these pandemics.  Positive change that has resulted from the Covid-19 is about online shopping. I had an image that only young people shopped online before covid. However, today, more and more elderly people shop online because they couldn’t go supermarket. Thanks to online shopping, they can get goods which they need easily.
