the reflection of winter project and winter term

Reflection of 20X20
My presentation wasn't well.
First, I forget my USB, so I went back to my home during the class...
Moreover,I was very nervous during my presentation because I didn't memorize what I speak, but I heard if I read the script, I would fail before giving presentation.
Therefore, the most difficult things of that presentation was making eye contacts and speaking smoothly and slowly.
I regretted that I didn't practice many times.
On the other hand, I tried hard to make slides, so I am satisfied with my slides. I tried to put images, and to reduce words. The visual points might be good.
Anyway,It was good to realize that I am not good at presentation.
Next time, I will practice more in front of others.

Reflection of ELA
In winter term, I learned new writing format to write a long essay based on short essays in ARW.
Before I wrote a long essay, I didn't want to write.
But, Mark and my classmates helped me, so I could survive winter term!

Through ELA, I learned three things: writing skill, reading skill, and the importance of having friends.
To consider writing skills, I came to be careful for formats both English and Japanese essays. Also, I learned how to collect and how importance reliable resources. To be a critical thinker, it is important to collect reasonable evidences. I always used Wikipedia in high school. So, that is big change for me.
Also, I think friends are really valuable. I want to say thank you to section mates. 

Today was the last day of ELA.
It is a sad...
I will continue to study English and try many things with English.

Thank you, Mark!
I hope you will enjoy with your next job.

Thank you :)

Reaction to Wager's text

     It is difficult for me to image the three future of Warger's prediction. Especially, the third future seems ideal and the possibility to be real may be low. I think it is possible that the world has no war or conflict. Even in small comunity such as classroom, some opposition may be occur. Some leader or authority may apper and act big. Also, the gap between countries or people cannot be gone away.  Therefore, the third future is unlikely.
    I like the prediction about the forth future because I want to travel the moon. The time when people can travel to the space may come in the future. However, I think that living out the earth is difficult because the body system is suit to live on the earth. The tecnlogy will more advance and it achive to go the space easily, but it takes long long time humankind suit to live in out the earth.
   To the end, the Warger's prediction seems really optimistic, but it has delightful dream.
