I was able to make an attractive presentation that aroused the interest of the audience. In order to appeal to the listeners, I added many animations to my PowerPoint and picked up many examples that the listeners could sympathize with. In the introduction of sports AI, I explained while taking up the topic of sports that the listeners were engaged in during their school days. Therefore, my presentation turned out to be much more attractive than the previous one. In addition, my presentation was able to attract the interest of the audience, and the discussion with them was very lively.

Compared to the previous presentation, we used graphs and images to make it easier for classmates to understand the content. I did a lot of research beforehand so that my classmates would not have any questions when they heard my presentation. The students were also able to challenge themselves with more difficult grammar and vocabulary than in the previous presentation and improved their own English skills.

I tried to be more concise and easy to understand than the last presentation. In particular, the improved points are in the PowerPoint document. In the previous announcement, there were a lot of characters, and I got the impression that it was difficult for the viewers to read. Therefore, this time, I tried to use PowerPoint, emphasize keywords, and reduce the amount of sentences. I feel that I was able to create a visually easy-to-understand PowerPoint by using many images and graphs. This time, we have two major themes, VR and Metaverse, and we were able to make it easy to understand by structuring it relatively.

This is the last presentation, but I think it has become a PowerPoint with a lot of information and not much time. However, I was able to make it easier to understand by separating the colors of the parts that I wanted to make a point of and the parts that I wanted everyone to hear. The content was more difficult than last time, so I was more conscious of communicating in simple words when communicating more. My impression was that it was difficult to research and present about technology in English throughout the year, but there was also a lot to learn because it was linked to social issues.

At first, my presentation was a little bit long, so second and third time, I cut some information after that I could finish in time. I explained concept of language shift deeply, and many students realized what I say, and they seems like really interesting. This time, my topic was specific, so three main points were also clear , and this is the point that I could improve from last presentation . Then I prepared three slides only to introduce main points. I think it made my construction of presentation easy to understand.

In my presentation, I tried to adjust the amount of text on my slides to avoid too much information. I think it was made concise and easy to understand by avoiding writing in sentences as much as possible, using bullet points, and making good use of arrows. In addition, the slides were designed to visually appeal to the audience by incorporating supporting data to back up claims and by including illustrations to make specific examples easier to understand.
I was also able to look the audience in the eye more than last time regarding eye contact, which I had mentioned as a point of reflection in the previous presentation. I could feel the audience’s reaction by looking them in the eye and talking to them.

I tried to present the words more clearly than in my previous presentation.
In the previous presentation, there were several English words whose meanings were difficult for the audience to understand unless I explained them in detail in Japanese. This time, I used easy-to-understand English words to express the meaning of the words so that the audience could understand the meaning of the words without explanation. This was a good point because by using easy-to-understand English words, the audience could clarify the meaning of my presentation and the issues involved. Also, the theme is more closely related to us in the future than the previous theme. I believe that this made us more aware of the issues and made it easier to express our opinions during the discussion.

In this research, I think I was able to focus on one theme, which was my previous assignment, and research it well. In order to learn more deeply, I decided on topics focusing on the causes, the current situation, and how to improve of “Internet addiction”. In addition to easy-to-read graphs and concrete numbers, I tried to create PowerPoint presentations that people would want to see. I was able to develop the presentation well by discussing with the audience how much we use smartphones and how we can reduce the time we spend looking at smartphones. I would like to make use of this presentation from now on.

I chose suicide as the topic for this presentation in relation to my last presentation on social networking sites as a topic, because suicide is related to it as an social issue.
In this presentation, I was able to continue to use the material covered in the last presentation and include more advanced material. In the last presentation, I was hesitant to include difficult terms and medical knowledge. However, in this presentation, I was able to explain in more detail the health problems that are often cited as the background of suicide, including specialized explanations of depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and so on.
In this presentation, as a culmination of the previous classes, I was able to work on how to explain all the information I had researched in a concise and detailed manner in time.
This topic is related to my presentation of social networking sites as a technological development in the last cycle, in which I explained that suicides are increasing due to social networking slander. In that regard, I believe this topic is also relevant to technology.

This was my second and last presentation, and compared to the first presentation, I think my English skills and the quality of my PowerPoint slides were much improved. That being said, as evidenced by the quality of my note-taking, I was very well prepared in advance, which I think contributed greatly to the success of my presentation. The teacher had pointed out that the first round of note-taking was a bit inadequate, so I prepared the second round so that it would not be inadequate. Thanks to that, the presentation turned out to be quite good. I was careful not to speak too much and to make the PowerPoint presentation as easy to understand as possible for the audience, so that they could understand it at a glance. I think my presentation was easy to understand because I used PowerPoint diagrams during the presentation. My classmates nodded and listened to my presentation, which made me think that they understood and understood my presentation.

I believe that through my safe driving research I have become familiar with safe driving technology. Specifically, what kind of technology is used in automated driving and for what purpose. It is no exaggeration to say that AI is essential for safe driving and that the use of AI makes automated driving possible. Also, the presence of a location-based system is a safety consideration. There were a fair number of people doing research on automated driving in this presentation, and their presentations helped me understand my research better. I thought it was interesting to find out that automatic driving can be researched from many different perspectives, and that it can vary so much from person to person.

I made the presentation with some surveys because the presentation would be more persuasive than no survey. For example, including graphs, maps and so on. I included one survey in the last presentation but I included many surveys in this cycle. By the way, I used plain English to describe the situations because the audience may understand them difficult with only the surveys due to many terms. Thus, I expressed my presentation in plain English and it may promote immediate understanding. However, I had a part where I could not speak English fluently so I would like to improve my speaking skills more and more.

The first thing I did for this presentation was to improve the quality of the slides. Previously, I had incorporated a lot of text into the slides, but this time I sought “readability” by incorporating only key phrases within the slides. By doing so, I was able to tailor the presentation to the reactions of the audience.
Next, with regard to the speaking style, we succeeded in attracting the listener’s interest by adding inflection. I also incorporated numbering, etc., and enjoyed speaking myself.

I have improved my presentation more clear. I explained not complicated words and sentences. And also I made my presentation slides simple. I used many pictures and photos, and I tried to reduce sentences in a slide to make it easy to see and understand. Regarding the discussion after the presentation, I asked some questions to listers to activate the discussion. If listers could not get the point, I tried to rephrase the difficult words. All things considered, I could improved my English and presentation skills.

n this presentation, I was not able to summarize the effective sites for creating the slides, so in the next presentation in December, I would like to summarize the effective sites so that I can convey them in an easy-to-understand manner to the listeners. Also, this time I wrote too many letters on the slides, and I couldn’t convey what I wanted to convey. I made it a topic that I was worried about when I was looking for a job. I had a lot of fun researching it, so next time I would like to choose from topics related to my job hunting and make a presentation.

The topic of my presentation this semester was “Internet Addiction.” Since I chose a topic that interested me to some extent, I was able to do my best to research not only simple materials but also difficult literature at the research stage, and I feel that I have grown more than last year and the spring semester. In my PowerPoint presentation, I think I was able to make use of my previous experience and present in an easy-to-understand manner, using diagrams and other information. However, for the face-to-face presentation, I felt that it was necessary to create materials that would convey what I wanted to say in a concise manner with a quick glance. This was my last research, but I would like to continue to develop the habit of researching topics in English.

The theme of my presentation this semester was “Cryptocurrency.” By choosing subjects that interest me to a certain extent, during the research stage I was able to devote myself to studying not only simple materials but also difficult literature, and I feel that I have improved more than last year and the spring semester. In the PowerPoint presentation, I think I was able to draw on my previous experience and presentation in a way that was easy to understand, using diagrams and other tools. Cryptocurrencies are used more and more now and are expected to expand in the future, so it was nice to understand this in this study. I also thought about using cryptocurrency in the future. This was my last study, and I hope to continue to develop the habit of studying in English.

I thought that many people would touch this topic for the first time, so I was conscious of including many pictures and diagrams. I think I was able to complete a visually easy-to-understand PowerPoint with less text. In addition to explaining the PowerPoint, I gave a presentation while asking the listeners, “What do you think?” By incorporating my own experience into the presentation, I believe that the listeners could empathize with my presentation and that it was a meaningful presentation. There were some difficult words, so I was conscious of rephrasing them into simpler English. However, I also felt that my English was not good enough, so I wanted to improve my fluency in discussions.
