2st team
there was no how to earn money.
but there was story
and they speak fluency.
it makes their opinion persuasive.

3st team
there was financial point.
it makes logically.

but many people said,
second team is better.

・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

Poo-Poo-Park

Hi,
I'm Daito,
and today is May.18th.


today,
i went hiking at Poo-Poo-park.
there were 9 people.
actualy japanese who can't speak english well was just me.


i have somethings learnd today.
this is.... listening is most important for me.
maybe also you.


because if you can't speak well,
they try to understand us.


but if you can't get what they say,
you can't do any responce.


if you are thinking about going to another country,
you should practice listening english.
i'm looking for good listening practice tool from now.
when i find it, i'll introduce.


the climbing was sooo hard,
but in return, the view was sooo nice.
like i climbed Mt.Fuzi.
it little bit over simile, lol

how gross my face is. lol, omg
but listen let me excuse,
i was taken a pic after climbing.
i felt soooo cold,
because my hot body got into cold because of wind.

oh,,,

but this is good experience for me!!
thank you guys!
