    In this class, I did a self-introduction to practice body language and eye contact. Throughout this activity, I realized that it was difficult to make eye contact with each and every one of them. Actually, I'm not good at looking people in the eye and talking to them. Therefore, when I did the presentation, I often look around instead of making eye contact. Consequently, that activity was pretty good practice for me. Mr. Paterson said that we have to walk confidently and relax, but I could not do that. Thus, I should improve on that, I thought. Also, I realized that I have a habit of holding my hands. I thought I should do more relax gestures and open my arms. 

    In addition, some of the audience listening to my self-introduction was expressionless, so I felt a little scared. Also, I was confused that some of them did not lower their hands, even though I was making eye contact with them. On the other hand, I was able to relax and talk to classmates who nodded and listened, or smiled when our eyes met. From these realizations, I thought I should listen in a way that would help the person speaking to relax.

I made guts pose when I heard Friday's class had not presentation. Certainly, I practiced many times for the presentation, however, I was really nervous. When I entered the classroom, almost all the students who are in the advanced class saw the slide and practiced many times. As I mentioned above, I made guts pose when heard about that, but I wondered why Mr. Paterson said this class does not do the presentation at the same time. He said this class will do another task, 'make the website'. In the last year, we made the original website in the group about school. We made the website about the rooftop, and introduce that finely. Mr. Paterson said we have to put the pictures at the same size and write about bio, reading book episodes in childhood. And, he explained detailed items. My group members are Takuma, Kotone, and me. Kotone shared the site to us and wrote detailed items on the website. Then, we opened 'canva' because we thought we had better think about the gr...

How do we write an effective essay? We learn about how to write an essay from last week's class. At first, we checked an essay ourselves. As basic knowledge, we hadn't better use personal pronounce, contraction and so on.  Yesterday class, we learn about how to write an introduction. I learn about that for the first time. We didn't write the introduction when yesterday yet, so we wrote it today. In the first-class of teaching about an essay by Mr. Paterson, We learn that our own section has to write three paragraphs and should connect the former section topic and next section topic. It because we have to show reasons to solve some problems. And, we had better repeat write key points in summary. Summary means is to leave an impression, so we should repeat each section's key points in summary. It likes the presentation when the last class( learn about presentation ). When las class, Mr.Paterson said that should improve "about us" on the website. We insert pi...

What should be finished? At first, we should write a conclusion and an introduction. Our group decided we thought and write two sentences on the conclusion and introduction. According to Mr. Paterson, a Google document is processed to make an essay. After everything is done, into Canva. Canva can make an effective brochure. Therefore, if we make brochure by Canva, be able to match the presentation and the website. And then, we got free time that goes on own group's essay. Mr. Paterson said that we should choose the font of the word. We haven't use Times New Romans and have to use Arial. Recently, we could spend own time to write and improve an essay. Therefore, we are able to go on an essay more than last class.  Mr.Paterson told us to what we will do tomorrow. We are going to make a list of references and write one or two sentences of the conclusion and introduction.
