First of all, I feel that I have more confidence myself than before thanks to presentation. Actually, I was really nervous and confused when I worked for presentation. “What can I tell?” or “What is interesting information for American people?” And I was always not sure that my choice is good or not; however more and more I was getting have will about my information that I want to tell this. On last week until true day, I had practiced million times and showed the various people. It was very comfortable for me seeing the surprising reaction when people get unknown information from me and I feel that it is my world now, during presentation. On that day, I was a little nervous and I worried about that I could do as usual, but at the audience seats, there were many people who supported me, such as friends, teachers, RAs and host family. I felt so happy, and I could think I’m not alone. Then, I could give the presentation majestically. I really appreciate to all people me that I could get confidence myself.
Second, by practicing presentation, I could improve my English skill. The various people who heard my practice gave me some advice about the pronunciation or grammar every time; I hope that it connected to grow me up and each advice was my treasure. Moreover, after I’d finished my presentation, many people said to me that I did good job; especially, I got some comments from my teachers. One of the teacher was Barbara; she was my conversation teacher, so she knew that my process. It made me convinced that I could improve my English skill.
Finally, I’m still thinking about my dream and I cannot decide exact dream in my future, however, thanks to this presentation, I could broad my horizons. I found that I like having conversation and introducing Japanese culture in English by giving the presentation. Also, I found that Japanese culture is really interesting and I have a lot of things that I don’t know about Japanese culture. Then I felt that I want to know about Japanese culture more and I want foreigner to know about Japanese culture more because each Japanese tradition has wonderful meaning. Now, I can say that this presentation was really good opportunity to know what I want to do and I need to do.
In conclusion, this fall was indispensable precious time for me, and this presentation made me realized how I’m supported by everyone, how I can improve and how I have various possibilities. It is really difficult for me to describe, but I’m really happy to participate in this program and to improve with this members.
