Self-improvement

・Taisei
    He says that it is important to focus on the appearance such as clothes, skin care and hair style. That is because it deals with first impression. Also, he insists that to have a hobby or a goal are important  because it can make him strong.

    I can sympathize with his thinking because I have the same idea in terms of appearance. For example, when we have an interview for a job, we usually put ourselves straight to give the other person good impression. That is why, the idea he says has an ability to persuade us a lot.

・Taku
     He shows us about which make you happy. For example, he says that to use positive words and to praise yourself are important. Also, he points out that smile makes you very happy.

     I think it is necessary for us to learn from his thoughts and to practice in daily life. If we can do these behavior every day, our feeling will be cheerful and we can enjoy spending time with our friends or our family. So, his self-improvement teaches us the importance of positive attitudes.

・Maria
     She has three ideas to improve herself. They are that to find good points she has, to study very hard that she is interested in, and to change appearance prettier. She explains these attitudes give her confidence.

     It may be a little difficult to find out my better self because we tend to hesitate to have confidence in appearance. However, studying harder is a good point to hold self-confidence without hesitation. In fact, I respect the person who can speak several languages fluently and if I can do like this, I will be proud of myself.

・Miho
     She talks about the cosmetic surgery and its advantages or disadvantages. Also, she agrees with it if people pay for the operation from their money.

     From her story, I think we must bear responsibility if we take the cosmetic surgery. When I was a child, I watched TV that a Japanese woman take it many time. In fact, she seriously changed her appearance. We must understand the risks the plastic surgery has.

・My presentation
     I think I could not efficiently use my presentation time. That was because I could not get my ideas in shape in English. Until now, I just remembered the script and made a presentation short time. However, it was the first time for me to speak in public for a long time in English. I was so nervous and I could not enjoy doing it at that time. So, I think I have to experience a lot of presentations and it is important for me to get used to the mood.
