About the Speaking Class …

I think the most useful skill in the speaking class is argument conversation. It makes me think more and learns politely rules when we want to join or interrupt someone’s conversation. I think go to the world study class is a good idea and activate. It can help us to practice English and makes more friends, but it seems too frequently and makes me start feel boring. I think once for two week is better than once a week. I also like the prepared speeches with visuals in this speaking class because I can get more information about the topic. In the end, I have a two perfect conversation partners is the best thing. We’ll keep in contact after this semester ^_^

Weekly Speaking Reflection HW 06

    Azumi and I are in the same group and our topic is “Is a two-party system preferable to a multi-party system? ”. We ask American students our questions in commons on Thursday. I asked two students about six questions. Both of them know what’s different between a two-party system and a multi-party system. They also know the U.S. politic belong to two-party system, and they feel two-party system better than multi-party system. They think multi-party system has too many political parties. It has different opinions to effect each other, so two-party system has more effectively to push their policies.

    Finally, I asked them “Are you satisfy the situation of American politic now? ” They felt comfortable of them. Both of them will go to vote the president. That’s a good news to candidates for president.

Weekly Speaking Reflection HW 05

This week I meet another conversation partner — Krystani. She is a girl. We are talking about our school life, friends, and family. I know her major is Spanish, but she will graduate in this year. It’s so sad because I might not see her anymore. During our conversation time, I found she is a nice person and has patience. She told me that if I have any homework or other question I can ask her anytime. On the other hand, I’m very surprise that her birthday is the same as my mother and father. My parents and I have a good relationship so I think that Krystani and I might also have a good relationship. I’m expect our next meeting.
