APS Assignment

We discussed the following topics in the class. :
１｝"What is a good discussion and what is a bad discussion?"
　２｝ "Japan should start teaching English(Language)from the beginning of Elementary School every day."
　３｝"The age of consent/adulthood should be １８(or other age)in Japan."

　　１｝●good
　　　　speak own ideas/opinions positively
choose leader and writer
listen to other`s opinion
ask friend`s idea
all members say their opinions
circle(we can see all member`s face)
leader says summary-halfway
compare opinions
eye contact

●bad
silence
only one person speak
only answer a word (Yes/No)
don`t listen other`s opinion
speak small voice

I think we all should try to speak their opinions positively in order to have a good discussion. If we do that, a discussion will continue smoothly, and we can hear many different ideas.However, it is difficult to say many ideas at first because we need to have a lot of vocabulary and have many opinions and ideas by myself,but if we often discuss any topics with our friends or teachers,and always think about anything, we will be able to speak more and come up with ideas easily. I think it is nice to have a good discussion.



２}
In our group, some of us agree with the opinion because chrildren will think that studying English is not so difficult if they study English by singing a song or remembering easy English words.However, some of us disagree with the opinion because children will not understand the meaning of studying English, and it is so tough to study every day.
In my opinion, I disagree with the opinion because I think children will forget English words or sentences soon because they won`t understand the meaning well, and I also think that it is more important for children to play outside with thie friends.



３}
In our group, all members agree with the opinion because most of us guraduated a high school and then we go to university or work in the society, so it is good time to think about the society and politics and vote,and have a resposibility what we do.
