Review of poster presentation

Hi Everyone!

Last Friday, we had a poster presentation.
First of all, I was really sorry to you that listened to my speech.
You know, I made a crucial mistake. Pictures were about cloning!
I was really sorry, and STILL I did not know why I made that mistake.

Anyway, these are questions and answers.

1, How did this exercise help you improve your communication skills?

I strongly feel that through this poster presentation
and practice of interview, two things I got.
First of all, I learned how to create good mood for talking.
Like interview, usually that mood is a little strict and nervous.
However, such as using gestures and talking with smiling help
to make excellent situation.
Secondly, I come to think that for the presentation, we need to
constantly keep eye contacts. Eye contact help not only listeners
but presenters. Listeners can feel togetherness. Also, speaker can
check whether audience follow s/he.

2, What advice can you give classmates about poster design?

Well, I felt some presenters wrote too much words on posters.
Frankly speaking, sometimes I was confused when to listen and to read.
Humm, I know my poster was not perfect.
But, I recommend you to make extra margins!
One guy wrote soooo much words that I could not concentrate on you!

Thank you for reading my blog!

Interview Questions

Hi there!

Are you familiar with interviewing and presentation? For me, these are really tough stuff! For example about interviewing, not only making good questions, but also I have to make good atmosphere. I though many ways... But, any way, I thought it was best to talk politely and kindly, so I tried my best.

The biggest aim for this interviewing was to sound out what someone really feels about euthanasia. Some people might say without seriously thinking, "It is out of question!". I wanted to find out what are people's TRUE feeling. Therefore, I made six questions.

1, What do you think of euthanasia?

2, Do you have willingness to do active or passive euthanasia?

3, If your member of family were to be vegetative state, would you agree to do euthanasia?

4, Imagine. You found a letter says that it is OK to practice active (passive) euthanasia written by the very patient. The
patient wrote it in advance. Can you do mercy killing?

5, What about money? If you cannot afford to pay money to hospital anymore, STILL would you believe that it is bad to do?

6, If you decide to do, what will you think in the future?

From the interviewing Hitomi and Yuki, I found one thing. I will show my idea on poster!
