[Genre: ] Talking / Discussion
[Theme: ] Oh! Trump wins.
After making some groups, let's talk about the following topics.
a) Did the result surprise you, or, not? Did you predict Trump's victory? Did you believe Clinton's win? Why, or, why not?
b) Why did not votes to Clinton grow? Why could Trump get support from the majority in the U.S?
c) Many mass media seemed to miss the forecast. Why?
d) Do you know mass media or critics, who successfully predict the election's result?
e) Do you support Trump, or Clinton? Why?
f) Do you think that the relationship between the U.S and Japan is expected to be largely changed with Trump's administration? Why, or, why not?
(e.g. National security, economy including TPP, power balance of Asia, etc.)
g) Is the birth of Trump administration good news or bad news for Japan?
h) Do you think Trump can do his pledges? (I will offer the list of his pledges in the practice).
After finishing the discussion, a representative of each group is expected to make a short presentation for all members, within the last fifteen minutes.
I hope all of you can enjoy
Murota.
