【2 QUESTIONs about business conference】
Q1. You meet someone at conference for the first time, what do you say?
A1, If room is too cold, may be i'll say "it's a little cold, isn't it ?" and keep talking... or if i have to introduce myself face to face, in this situation "Thank you for coming here(inviting me), my name is ~, nice to see you."

Q2. Soon you have to go to a presentation, so you must end the conversation with the person you just met, what do you say?
A2. i think in this case, it's better to tell the real reason to that person at the good timing. So..."I'm very sorry, i have to final check my presentation is coming soon today. I had a great time to talk to you, thank you. I'm looking forward to talking together next time"^▼^

【Go~ 4 QUESTIONs】
Q1. What did you do in class today?
A1. Today, we learned "Listening Collocations & Numbers" from CD. We were thinking about the connections of words. and Dan taught us how to figure out the correct sounds, like... 10 to 30 %= 10 /te/30 %. At the end of the class, taboo questions in a conference were coming up again.

Q2. Did you enjoy doing these activities in class today? Why? or Why not?
A2. For me, it's one of the most important activitiy because i'm not good at listening. So, today's task was not only enjoying but also necessary. i need to used to listening with natural speed & pronunciation. it was good for me. i had a very good time.

Q3. Did you think these activities were easy or difficult? Why? or Why not?
A3. mmm~, now almost easy for me, i mean... some of these made me confused. especially in listening session, number is sometimes complicated for me. I think now i was changed from before, but i wanna tell you about the problem i had before.
In my case, when i listened to English, i often really concentrated on all of each word i heard. if i could catch the correct answer at this moment, i couldn't switch quickly from listening to writing.
This situation was repeated, then i already missed the next key word. As a result, i was confused "Which is a correct answer?". nothing is clearly for me.

Q4. What did you learn?
A4. i listened many times, so i learned how can i control my mind. for me, mind condition is a key point. today, we did 3 Extracts. the first answers in each of them are in the first sentence. So it was easy to miss catching it.
Good start dash makes me relax & concentrate more. i have to focus on hearing first sentence. in class, i could be best condition for keep listening.
