    Last week, we practiced body language and eye contact. From this activity, I learned gestures are also critical to appearing confident. We practiced telling accurately in English. We paired up and did an activity where we had to guess what the Japanese word was that the other person explaining in English. I did this activity three times, changing partners. I thought the Japanese words that I explained are difficult to explain in English, so I struggled. 
    I found it difficult last week to speak with gestures, but today, I thought that expressing only with words is more difficult than. As Mr. Paterson said, I used a lot of unclear words such as "like..." and "kind of...".  I thought a good explanation is one that is easy to visualize. From this activity, I learned that it is important to tell people what I want to say in an easy-to-understand way.

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.

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.
