  1. I had a trouble to guess this book’s story because I have never read this book before. This is a problem because audiences who have never read this book before like me, they might cannot understand what you are talking about even though ho this group discussed well. One way to fix this problem is introducing this book’s story briefly at first. If you do that, audiences will be more easy to understand what you were talkin about.

  2. I think that the structure of this discussion is a problem. This is because I felt like each speaker was expressing their own opinion about each situation rather than a discussion. One way to fix this problem to return comments or questions each other. If you do that, it become more like a discussion.

  7. Thank you for your great discussion. After listening to your presentation, I have one problem. This is a problem that the characters personality is not clearly. Moderator only said “In this story, Amelia and Becky are written in contrast. So, we are going to focus on How they are described in the story.” I have read it before in class, so I understand the novel is long and this story does not have a central character thus the discussion is very difficult. However, I think it would make the discussion clearer if you said a specific personality of characters

  9. After listening to our discussion, I found a few members don’t have confidence when we talk about our own opinions.

If we do so, we can confidently express our opinion in discussion.
