Presentation



Our group did the presentation on December 8th. Our turn was second, so I was remembering the practice for the presentation during the first group.


Our topic is Ooku. I decided this topic because that is really interesting for me. I love Japanese history, especially Ooku. That is kind of strange. I thought Americans don't know Ooku so much, so I wanted Americans to know that. I thought that Americans are probably interested in that when they know that. However, actually Americans don't know Ooku at all, so it was too hard to be understand that by Americans. We changed our talk and powerpoint many times. We also practiced and took some advice many times. It was too difficult for Americans to understand our topic at first, but our presentation became more easily to understand for Americans gradually. Therefore, I could have a little bit confidence, but I was too nervous before our presentation.


However, when our presentation started, my nervousness have gone somewhere, even I enjoyed to talk to the audiences. It's amezing because I couldn't speak in front of people even if Japanese in Japan. That's because I'm shy. Therefore, I have had much confidence. In addition, I heard that many Americans said that our presentation was good and they were interested in Ooku. I was really happy. My wish that I want Americans to know about Ooku came true! It's wonderful! I could find new myself that can enjoy to talk in front of people. I also found about a lot of Japanese interesting culture. I'm proud of accomplishing the presentation and I thank everyone who helped me, especially Saki and Yuka. Thank you!
