Reflection

Thanks to this class, I think I can improve my presentation ability. At first, I was very nervus when I presented my information to classmates. Because I had not confidence about expressing my idea in English, but I gradually get used to presenting. I could learn how to make good presentation from classmates's presentation. This class was useful for me, because I could learn a method of presentation and how to make slides.In addition, I could know many information, for example, festival, World Heritage site and NUFS. It was interesting for me to watch classmates's presentatin. Every presentaion gave me things to think about. For instance, I should have spoke loudly and clearly more and should have made good slides. On the contrary,this class' s bad point is that some classmates fell asleep during other presentation. I think it is rude to other classmates. Finally, I was pleased to take this class. I think I want to keep making an effort to improve my English ability.

Good points of MLC

I will talk about three good points of MLC. First, MLC has TV and seats to watch DVDs and videos. We can use individual booths and private rooms. There are 30 individual seats; you can also enjoy watching movies with friends. In case of private rooms, MLC has three rooms and has a seating capacity of 3 to 4. In addition, MLC has a sofa for 4 to 6 people. So, if you want to watch movies with some friends, I recommend you to use a private room or a sofa.

Second, MLC has 50 computers. We can use internet freely. There are also copy mashines. MLC connects library and community plaza, so we are easy to go there.

Third, if you want to look for a movie, we can do carryout an online search from a title, a movie director, an actor and actress,of course, we can also request movies which we want to watch. You need to fill in an application form is accepted, MLC will order order it.

In this way, MLC is a useful place for us. So, I recommend you to use MLC more.

Typhoon in Japan

I will talk about typhoon in Japan. Although in North America , they have hurricanes and cyclones, they are called typhoons in The Northwest Pacific and Asia. North America has man and woman's name of hurricanes ready in alphabetical order. For example, Ana,Bill and Claudette. In Japan, typhoons are numbered in order of outbreak by the Meteorological Agency.Especially, the great deal of typhoon damage are called name.For example, Ise wan Typhoon.

Typhoons occur from summer to autumn in Japan. Typhoons develop at the south ocean's surface and as a result of approaching the Japanese Islands, typhoons tend to become weak.An annual outbreak is 26.7, an annual approach is 10.8 and the number of landing in Japan is 2.6 on the average.

Cologne Cathedral in Germany

We are going to talk about Cologne Cathedral in Germany.

First, I would like to talk about the history. Cologne Cathedral is the biggest and oldest gothic architecture in the world. In 1996 this architecture was placed on the World Heritage List.Construction of the architecture started in 1248 and was completed in 1880. It took 632 years to finish the architecture, because of a fire , a war and religious reformation and shortage of funds. This architecture is made of rocks and the height is 157m. It was the tallest architecture until 1884. And stained glass and sculptures are also worth seeing. We can upstairs to the tower of the cathedral which is 109m high and it has 509 steps. If you are confident of your own stamina, I recommend you to challenge the stairs. From the tower, we can look out the whole of the town.

Second, I am going to talk about admission charge. The inside of the architecture is free of charge but the tower has a fee of 2.00 euros for adults and 1.00 euro for students. We can take a picture inside the architecture freely.
