What's New at Kyoto NHK ESS?

Dear Kyoto ESS members,

This is an announcement of the practice for the second half on August 8th.

Title : word-association game

Do you remember a good old NHK TV- show 「連想ゲーム」？
We will play the word-association game based on the TV-show.
A word has many meanings so they kindle your imaginations.

Let's enjoy the practice!

Hi everyone. Here is the announcement of the latter practice on August 22nd.
I’d like to say in advance this practice is not so cheerful or exciting one since it doesn’t include any quizzes or chances to have conversations.
Thus, good English speakers might feel boring. In that case, sorry for that.

1. Activities: Listening, Reading, Performing
2. Event details:
① Listen to a script on a CD.
② Listen to it again reading the script on papers and fill in blanks in that.
③ Read aloud in turns one part by part. At some points I stop the reading and ask a person to summarize the story which happened until then.
④ I’d like some volunteers to perform the script.
That’s all. Though I haven’t prepared yet anything, I think I can make it.

Have a nice day and drink water as much as you can. Don’t work too much!

Hi, there!

This is the announcement for the practice on September 5th.

Date: 2020-09-05
Genre: Presentation
Title: Elevator Pitch - "If you start your own business..."

Description:

Do you know what an elevator pitch is?
Yes, right. It's a succinct (short) but persuasive sales pitch,
typically the ones aimed for executives (very busy people).

In this session, you're going to have a chance to sell your ideas
to others. I'm assuming they are business ideas here, but
they can be anything, e.g. your dream jobs or whatsoever!

It is advisable for you to come up with some ideas in advance
so you can focus on making your presentation better.

I hope you like this practice.

Cheers!
