Ahead of The Game -- Ayano Yoshiike

 I have little experience in playing games. However, I like doing them with my friends. I remember the content of the slide show, Ahead of the game which described some benefits of playing games. I was impressed with the fact that playing games help us improve our development. I thought it’s fascinating because children can develop their skills with fun. Generally, students study with textbooks and they get bored. I think games will change this greatly in a good way. Although they are useful tools to develop us, I assume there is a con. I anticipate that children may be addicted to them. I believe games are made to make people concentrate on, so some children will suffer from game addictions. However, if parents or teachers set timer and stop children playing games for a long time, it will be fine. I believe games will bring benefits to education.

    Hi, Ayano! actually, my younger sis used to be addicted to computer games and then that was terrible so I think there are some drawbacks.

    Well said, Ayano! It has been shown through studies that learning things through playing games is effective. Thus bringing gamification into the classroom is a good idea, I believe.

About Me -- Yugo Konno

Image
  My name is Yugo Konno.  I am from Tokyo and 20 years old now. I am living  with the White family in St. Clair. My impression of Dunedin is that there are many spectacular sceneries and kind people. My favorite subject in high school was world history. I took this course to improve my writing and listening English skills. I like cycling because it makes me so excited. What I dislike is having a part-time job because it’s so boring. My only one advantage is that once I start something, I never stop in the middle. One of my disadvantages is that when I am engaged in something, I am often unable to see anything else around me.

       Hello. My name is Usa Yamagami . Please call me Usa. I am 20 years old now. I live in Belleknowes , Dunedin with Barbara and Kelvin, and their son, Phoenix. As soon as I arrived, I thought it was very cold! And I envy New Zealanders because they have a lot of lands. I came from Osaka, Japan, and it is cramped with a lot of buildings. In fact, when I was in high school, Japanese was my favorite of all subjects. Because I like Japanese novels and comics. However, I wanted to try to read Japanese manga in English, so I decided to study English hard. My hobby is listening to music, watching a movie, reading books, and talking to people. Lately, I have been into ''Murder Mystery''. I have made many friends on Twitter who share the same interests. If you don't know about it, please check it out. I don’t like cooking and cleaning, so I think I can’t live alone! 😂   My good point is that I have self-paced, and I think my bad point is also self-paced. Finally, I ...

About me -- Shiho Matsuura

  Hello, class! I’m Shiho and from Japan. Also, I’m 19 years old and now live in Kaikorai with Hilary who is my host mother. I have impressed a nature, a view from my home and a wood stove. I like Dunedin because there’s no high buildings and Dunedin is a beautiful streetscape. Sometimes, I miss Japan and soaking in the bathwater. My favorite subject was Japanese because I like classic so in Japanese classes I could read Japanese classic literature. I chose this course because I want to improve my English enough to discuss difficult problems. Also, my hobby is dance and I love music. For example, I often listen to rhythm and blue and also my host mother likes music so we sometimes listen it together. I’m good at finding nice teas so If anyone want to know delicious teas, let me know! On the other hand, I’m hopeless at waking up early morning so 1 st class that start 9 am is a little hard for me. In conclusion, my goal is improving my English and become a person who understand ...
