Dear ESS member,

Let me introduce the contents of the practice scheduled
for November 24th

Recently, we have seen the lesser known place became
the fastest growing destination for tourism, thanks to
the SNS. Let’s focus on such a place.

【Brief Explanation of Procedure】

17:40: Make some groups.

(Section 1)
Until 17:55: I will give you some quiz about a little-known but good
place in Japan.

(Section 2)
Until 18:25: Talk about a little-known place of your recommendation
in each group. There are no specific procedures or guidelines
that I need you to follow. Any place is fine either in Japan
or abroad. Famous sightseeing place can also be acceptable.

18:25: One member of each group make a short presentation.

Have enjoy!
Natsuko Mori
