Dear Kyoto ESS members
I’m Shimon Nakamura (中村史門), Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto.
Genre: Discussion (speaking and replying to questions)
Title: Speak your own experiences in school days
Description:
This is an easy and small but important practice for speaking English just before 31 participants in the camp without looking at any English written slip.
Make your speech by your own words so as to make them understand what you said
You know best what experiences you had in school days and will be able to speak memories freely.
No preparation is needed except some memo in Japanese.
If you feel reluctant to do so before all participants,
you may do so in the separated group.
Please enjoy participant’s surprised talks
Thank you.
S. Nakamura
