Learning from the presentations

Group 1 アンナ、ナッツ、静

    I am one of the group members in the first presentation. In this survey project, I try to generally find out the current image of animation and manga culture in Japanese society with my groupmates. We initially prefered that the AC culture is popular in the society and the Japanese may be proud of it. However, the responds are unexpected, they even worry about the negative impacts of the AC products for the next generations. It surprisesd me and suddenly motivate me to have a profound study on this topic. Of course, it should be started after the exam. :]

    In fact, I think there are several area should be improved during my presentation. First of all, more preparations are needed as the pages in the powerpoint were jumped sometimes. The survey results also should be outlined as most of our audience might not capture the messages at the short moment. Thirdly, the comments given by the respondents had to be translated from Japanese to English since some of our classmates might not understand Japanese.

   Anyway, it is a good experience to present the Janaese classworks in Englsh and the presentation skills I mentioned  may be practiced more.

Group 2 嵐、星、

    I am satisfied by this group's presentation. ^ ^

    The best point I found is the clear and detail charts which analyzed the survey results and the relationship between thier foundings and the figures. It was easy for to floow thier ideas and linked to their survey. In additioin, thier good preparation showed thier knowledge on the "Tokyo Metropolitan Ordinance Regarding the Healthy Development of Youths" and the cultural values reflected by the research.

   I think the only point they may improve is to shorten the paragraphes on the powerpoint. Pointing out their ideas may be beeter than presenting them for sentences.

Group 3

    The most complicated presentation for the first-three groups. = = +

    I think they had put effort on how to present their survey result with analysis in a easy-to-know way. Even though they covered and explained all the questions they designed, I did not be confused and the good organization was reflected. Also, the idea of "Hong Kong = Jackie Chan" is very attractive and it showed the profund knowldege of Japanese cultural values.

    I think this group has little things to improve except the need of rehearsals. Sometimes the presenters might forget the linkage between the contents and the questions.

Group 4 ミリー、きょうこ、サラ、みよこ

    The topic of this group is about marriage value of Japanese, and the title is "The perception of Marriage among Japanese".

    For the survey result, it seems there is not a wide gap of marriage value between Hongkongers and Japanese. Both of them prefer to have late marriage when they are 30 to 40 years old. Women also end up their career life after getting married in order to concentrate on family. The major difference maybe on the willingness of maintaining the relationship. Hog Kong couple may take divorce easily but Japanese partners, as the group presented, would be more serious when making such decision. The unexpected content is that the Japanese are more likely to marry with Western foreigners but with the dilemma being reluctant to leave their family.

    In my point of view, the only weakness of this group's presentation would be the wording typed in PowerPoint as points may be more reader-friendly than paragrsphes.

Group 5 アリソン、エディー、織

    I love this presentation which is about the living habbits of Japanese.

    The topic thet choose is attractive. Before their show off, I did not know the Japanese won't drink Miso soup everyday which is a representative image of Japanese food culture advertised by Japanese government. Is that a bad joke? 

    Further, I think that it is good for delivering informative survey results and full of elaboration. With the relative animation pictures, I can capture thier idea effectively and did not nod off eventually.  :]  However, if they did not jump the PowerPoints, page-to-page, too fastly, it may be better for presentation.

Group 6 レイカ、レイラ

    A little surprised for meeting this topic, Japanese travelling, as the group members may have other interest in some special areas. = = +

    Anyway, I think that I was satisfied for listening their presentation. Their voice were softly and were fluently in explaining the findings of their survey. Unfortunatly, there was a big difficulty on defining the colours of the piecharts (too close...) and it hence confused me to understand the figures.

    The most strange point is the choice of "travelling to Antarctica" for overseas journey - who would like to be Iceman?  =__=b


All in all, the survey projects are supportive and I learn Japanese culture in terms of various aspects. Next time (same, after the exam) we may have a deeply research on different current issues and I hope I can acheive an improvement.

    We would have underlined the key words in the sentence if it was a paragraph
    Of course, I agree point form is the best for presenting the data
