◎Saki
She told about a woman's place. The status of woman is lower than that of men in particular when they work. There is a old manner which men work hard and women do house works. Because of these notions, women stand hard position in their work places. However, the custom is changing these days. A lot of companies offer woman a child-care leave system, so women tend to focus on their work and men try doing house work willingly.
◎Ayari
She talked about making compromise. She has a lot of family members and she has to take a bath briefly. She wanted to take a bath at her leisure,but her grand mother told her that she go out right now. I think she is a kind girl to care of all family members all the time. She said that she goes to hot spring if she wants to relax. I think it is important for her to take a rest some times because she always makes effort. And also, she should tell her opinion to her family if she feel hard to make compromise.
◎Aya
She told about problem of dumping cats. She has three cats because she and her mother likes animals. She takes care of three cats with her love, so she feels sad when she finds cats which are thrown away. They are thrown away by former owner for selfish reasons for example, the cat was not cute because she grow up and she was bigger than the owner has expected. I think they are irresponsibility to hear that. Pet's owner should take care of them with affection.
◎Mio
She talked about disagreement with a roommate. The merit of sharing room is saving the cost of living,sharing housework and they can talk with and consult on their troubles. On the other hands, there are demerits which they have a little private space and time, noise and stealing for example money and something they have. She offered us solutions of it. First, set rules and follow it. Second, don't think your sense of value is the same as other's.
◎Kenta
He told us about housework. He lives alone now and he has to do everything around him. He manages to do it in his busier days. For, he has done housework since he was a child, because his parents are both teacher and they are very busy. That's why they divide their daily works for example, his father makes breakfast, his mother wash clothes and his brother takes in the washing. Moreover, he understood how hard doing housework through his part time job. I think he will be a good father in the future because he does housework willingly.
◎My presentation
I talked about digital watch and analog watch. First, I told the difference between two types of watch. Digital watch suit sports particularly because it has strong water resistance and we can see the time at a glance and measure the time. Analog watch relatively suit every situation and there are a lot of watch whose are simple design. Second, I introduced high-tech watch named 'smart watch'. It's like a smart phone and it' useful in these days. At last, I told my favorite watch maker. They are SKAGEN, Timex and KOMONO. I want to pleasure my watch which I've used now.

When she was a junior high school student in seconds grade, one of her classmate gave her a candy after a P.E. class. At that time, we were prohibited from having snacks in the school. She thought the behavior was worse, but she accepted the candy. As a result, her teacher found that and they were scold and they punished, which they had to clean rooms in early morning everyday for two weeks. Then she decided not to do these things again. However, she was given a candy by a her friend after finishing club activity. She couldn't decline that and she received. The problem happened after a few days and she apologized for her teammates but, they said to her "We can't trust you." Through these hard experiences, she learned something.
◎My presentation

I think these habitats are worse, but I can't stop. I want to change my bad behavior. In contrast, I find that I have some good points,too. I frequently laugh everyday and I have positive thinking, so if I made mistakes, I reflect that objectively and learn some lessons from mistakes. That's my strength point, I think. From now on, I want to turn my weaknesses into my strengths. And I introduced several maxim to succeed in our daily lives. My favorite one is "Do one thing that scares you everyday." This word is easy to do everyday for me.

Self-improvement
◎Taisei
He stated self-improvement in particular, three points.
He thinks that it is important to have good looks. For example, hair, nails and beautiful skin. It takes a lot of money to get more beauty, but he says that we make our own identities. Second, it's about hobbies. He thinks that having hobbies can improve our daily lives. Third, it's about our own goals. Like having our favorite hobbies, to make goals is a good way to inspire.
His presentation made me understood well because he formed construction clearly. To be better presentation, he should speak a loud to hear everyone in the group and give eye-contact for audiences.
◎Hikari
She stated cosmetic surgery about moles. The purposes which people want to take away their moles are several. It is to be prettier than present, to get self-confidence. However, there is another purpose to take surgery. Sometimes people have malignant tumor or benign tumor. She told us merits and demerits for removing moles. The demerit is to lose their attractive features and to get risks involved. I think we should decide carefully.
Her presentation was easy to understand because she used effective pictures. To be better presentation, she should state her opinion obviously.
◎Taku
He stated self-improvement. He told us the way to have good thinking. He thinks saying positive words makes us happier. And praising myself is a good way to inspire. I want to imitate his positive thinking.

She told us many ways to improve ourselves. One of her opinions about self improvement is to find good points of ourselves. Studying much harder can get more knowledge and we get to have self-confidence. To change our looks is also one of the self improvements. So, she agreed people take cosmetic surgery.
Her presentation was easy to listen and she used English fluently. Eye-contacts was very good. To be better, she should focus on the theme narrower and use pictures.
◎My presentation
I'm always careful to use some slides or papers to help my opinion. I' ve done presentation for 5minutes or shorter, so I was confused to do longer. I should have make constructed statements. And I felt shortage of my English and I couldn't tell my opinion enough. Next time, I want to give everyone clearly presentation.
