My impressions on Tochigi seminar

Dear Dr. Tanabe,

I would like to talk about a teacher development seminar held in Tochigi.
It was the first time for me to ever set foot in Tochigi. It was a valuable experience for me. Looking back, I have two things I should reflect on.

Firstly, speaking in a loud voice. When I introduced myself in front of the teachers, my voice was really small. Dr. Tanabe pointed that out for me. This is really basic things about speaking in a public. I will keep it in mind from now on.

Secondly, Spoken American English. I truly felt that I need more practice it because I didn’t learn it by heart perfectly. Being unable to do it was an inspiration to me.

Anyway, I had a really great time there, and I thank all the people concerned for giving me a wonderful opportunity.

Sincerely,
Otoyo
