Talk in English
今回のディスカッションマスターは入会まだ浅い I さんが勤めてくれました。
参加者は新メンバーも加わり６名。
まずは近況についてそれぞれが１分間スピーチ。
１分は長いようで短い、短いようで長い。
１分に詰め込む内容などは人それぞれ、英語だけではなく脳も鍛えられます。
This time, our discussion master was I-san, who recently became our member.
We had six participants, including a new member.
First, everyone gave a one-minute speech about what's going on in their lives.
One minute may seem long, but it's short, and it can feel long, but it's actually quite short.
What people cram into one minute varies, and it's not just about English; it also exercises your brain.
