finished presentation

Today was the midterm group presentation!

It took over 10 minutes...

I was so nervous that I could'nt explain it.

I felt that 10 minutes is too short unexpectedly!

I was interested in the vocabulary group's presentation.

The websites which they introduced were very interesting.

I'd like to try them!!

The Seventh Week

Our group is modifying The Evaluate Check List from this week.
Adjusting point is as follows.....
・Object person is vague standard.
・We should make the frame appear underlined.
・We should make "total point" on the top of the list.

Recently, I'm checking "The Mainichi Daily News" site.
This site is newspaper company's website.
We can read the latest articles in English, but it doesn't have the vocabulary list.

Thinking of Presentation

I'm trying some websites about English reading for the presentation.

I'll focus on three sites, and continue to use them for about one week.

And the evaluate checklist deadline is looming.

I'm also thinking of its contents.


Today, I found the disturbing news about Obama, president of USA.

His approval rating is declining.

Meanwhile, he's going to visit Japan this week.
