【しゃべくリアン１】僕は自己紹介が嫌いです。

どうもこんにちは〜
同志社大学商学部、
現在休学してSeattleにいる田中大登です！
だから今は新２回生て位置づけかな？w


今日から毎週1回、
インタビュー団体「Lien」
のメンバーとして、
テーマにそって記事を書いて行きます♪



今回のテーマは、
『自己紹介！』


ということで、
少しばかり僕の自己紹介をしたいと思いますが、


まず最初に、
僕は自己紹介が嫌いです。


理由はいくつかあって、


１）見てる人のことを考えると、
間違いなく楽しくないから。


２）自己紹介をすると自分の活動に、
うぬぼれている様な気分になるから


まあそんなこと言っても、
テーマはテーマなので、
自分の中に目的をもって書きます。（笑）


今回は自己紹介を『伝える』『楽しませる』
という点を意識して書こうと思います♪


【疑問】
自己紹介のよくある形ってなんでしょう？


・経歴ぺらぺら？
僕は大学入って〜
そんでこんなことして〜的な


・好きを語る？
こんなことが好きで〜
だからこんなことして〜的な


自己紹介の珍しいパターンを考えると、、、
僕は今日、嫌い（すきじゃない）を語ろうかな？って思います。

といっても
・満員電車がきらい
・コネ、人脈とかいう人がきらい
・カリスマになりたくない
・ありがたみを知らない人が嫌い
・蜘蛛が嫌い
・ほうれん草の白和えが嫌い
とかそんな感じです。w



「あ、自分もそれ嫌い」って感じたあなたは、
大好きです笑（特に蜘蛛とかw）



どうですか？伝わりました？
自己紹介で楽しめました？


ここまで書いて僕が思うのは、
伝えるって難しいな〜ってことです。


僕がLienという団体に入ったのは、
この伝える力を磨きたかったからです。


人と話し、魅力に気づき、引き出し、
それを『伝える』


人と関わる事が好きで、
伝えることを勉強したいと思っていた僕には
魅力を引き出して伝えるというLienのコンセプトは
とっても引きつけられるものでした。
これが僕のLienに入った動機です。


そして僕は、この１年、
アメリカという「多様性」の中で暮らし
人を受け入れる、認められる価値観を
もっと育成します。


まあアメリカにきた理由は、
それだけじゃないですが（笑）


日本に帰って、それを生かし、
いろいろな人の多様性を受け入れ発信していきます。
僕がインタビューをする人の基準は、
「自分を持っている人」です。
決して「すごい人」ではないです。
これがLienのメンバーとしての僕の抱負です。



自己紹介なんて、
まとめて書く必要ないですよねw


僕はこういう発信を何回も重ねます。
その中で、だんだんと「僕」を知って頂けたらなと。


僕もいろいろな人の発信を何度も何度もチェックして、
自分の中でその人のイメージをつくってます。


すべてをドヤ顔で語る人の情報なんて、
その人があなたにもって欲しいイメージでしかないんですから。


最後になりましたが、気づきました？
さりげな〜くLienに関しての自己紹介をしっかりしましたw
今回のテーマは「楽しませる」「伝える」
と言いましたが、実は一番「ストーリー」を意識しました。



今回の記事を通して、
「なんだかんだだけど大登っていうやつが
ひねくれてるってことがわかった。」
となれば僕の自己紹介は成功ですw



ではでは〜
毎週テーマにそって、
アメリカからお届けしますw

まじで蜘蛛はほんとに嫌いです。

i've blown pronunciation class off.
because i went to repair shop to fix my bag.


but guess what!
i was able to listen to presentaion of American student because of blowing it off.
this was good listening practice for me!!
and it was usuful to made presentation slide.


but i guess my friend is better presenter than these guys.

【These guys】
・they do have a confidence.
・they don't say "uh~~"
・they always look at audience
・they gesture a lot
・they are not good at making slide
(some people's slide was amazing)
(they use map, demonstrate, graph,,,)
・they don't have story
(as it happens, their topic sounds boring)
・they don't tend to put some words on bottom in the slide.


【My friend】
・they are good at making slide
・they are good at making story
・thier slide is simple
・they often say "uh~"
・they look like they don't have confidence

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

that's interesting.
i wanna go there again.



i had conversation with my partner.
today, we just enjoyed talking.
and we borrowed a few movies.


I borrowed this movie which he recommend me.



I've just watched this movie,
it was so fun for me!
if you like fantacy or SF,
i recommend you.


second one is very famous movie.



I want to watch it again.
because if i watch it again now,
i think i can more understand than when i watched last time.


Third one is the movie which he loves.
it's disney movie.



he said the movie includes very good song and story.

Last one is the movie which is said  good practice to listen to english.
because the language in the movie is really really American.

interview with my agent

Hi,
I'm Daito
and today is May.15th


today, i had an interview with my agent.
in the bus on that way to the place.
i met my american friend.

we'd talked for 2,30 minutes.

because he is an entreplanuer,

his own job is teaching english.
so, he crrected my wrong english during our conversation.

it would be mess.

2)i'm sure of taking it.
→i'm sure i'll take it.

3)they ask if how is my school life
