We made a pitch of free theme. My subject was 'Sanrio'. I chose it because I like Sanrio since I was a child and Sanrio characters are very popular all over the world. 
Other class mate's presentations were very interesting. Some friends' ones were about their favorite things, and some friends'  ones were about their favorite cartoons. Each of them was so interesting but I'm sorry that I couldn't watch presentations of everyone.

Introduction of a man

His name is Jack. He is my husband. He works as a newspaper reporter. I met him at a party of a mutual friend of ours. He goes all over the world. He always wakes up early in quest of a big scoop, so he is always with bedhead. He is kind to me and our children. He helps me with doing housework in spite of his busy work. Also he plays with our children after his work or on his holiday. As a husband or as a father, he is a very good man.

Also we talked about a group presentation. 
Our topic is mobile phones and computers. There are many people who uses smart phones, so we think this topic is good to research.

Responses for ipad presentation

Many people said that my presentation is easy to understand but some of my classmates thought that I should explain about my country or my family more in my presentation. If I write the explanation in detail, my presentation will be better. Especially, I should add information in fourth slide. 

Some classmates said my presentation was good because there were many pictures and the pictures are funny but there were some students who thought that I should add some information by pictures more.

Also there were comments like "my presentation was quite simple because of the background picture." and "While I give a presentation, I should look at the audience."

First, we provided advices on various problems to each other. 
It was difficult to think solutions of classmates' troubles because sometimes I had the same trouble as theirs.
Second, we gave a presentation about myself  of setup condition in this class by using an ipad.
Presentations of everyone were very nice and interesting. Some of them used an ipad very well and the presentations were easy to understand.
I thought that I should have added letters more in my slide because only my explain by parol, it is hard to understand. 
Every one's presentations were done a search very well, so they were so interesting.

BR12 Princess Polly and the pony

"Being a princess is boring," said Princess Polly. (p. 5)


I like Princess Polly because even if she is a princess, she is very active and natural. Also she is honest with herself and she did what she wanted to do even if it was not allowed to do by her parents. For her parents, she might be a trouble, but I like her character.
