Friday September 28th

Discuss favorite quotes

Job interview practice - Choose a field you would like to be in. Think of 10 questions and interviewer might ask you if you applied for such a job. Give your questions to someone else, and role play interviews.

Commentary practice and sample recording.
Think of a commentary topic that you could speak on for about 6 minutes. Take some notes about what you want to say. Discuss in a group.

Sign up for a speaking booth. Use audacity, a voice recording software. Record your commentary. Don't worry about mistakes as you speak. People make mistakes when they speak, even in their native language. Try to express as much information as possible, as clearly as possible. Make sure that when you save you go to export, and then export as wav. Send the (clearly labeled) wav file to me.

I enjoyed this movie very much. I thought that Yakushima was full of beautiful nature. I felt good when I watched freshly green nature and blue sea.
In conclusion, I really liked a giraffe tree!!!

I was impressed by this movie!! I've never been to Yakushima, so I really want to visit there. If I could go to Yakushima, I want to touch very big trees and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Especially, I like a clear sea's photo very much!!

I really enjoyed watching the movie. I only knew that Yakushima is a world heritage before watching it. However, I didn't know that Yakushima is so beautiful place. I think the power of nature is fantastic! I can rarely see such great nature in my daily life,so I want to visit there.
