  1. After listening to our discussion, I thought that this discussion has a few exchanges of pinions. This is a problem because a discussion requires to share the views rather than just telling the opinions. One way to fix this problem is to ask the reason why he or she thinks. If we do that, our discussion will be more attractive and active.

  2. I have a problem about my talking skill. My pronunciation isn’t clear. I should speak slowly and plainly. If I do that, I communicate fluency with group member.

  3. I think our group discussion still has a lot of problems. One of them is that our conversation was more awkward than the last time. I think this is because we talked so formally. It might make the listeners bored. One way to fix this problem is to practice improvisation in talking. If we can talk naturally, our awkwardness will be improved and our discussion will be more fascinating.

  4. I thought that this group’s introduction was long. The members didn’t seem to understand exactly what they were talking about. So, I recommend the moderator should say the agenda first. I think it is good to tell a summary of the story after that. That way, the members will be able to grasp the content of the discussion they are about to discuss.

  5. I realized that I didn’t say any objections or opinions. It is a problem because we have to say objections or opinion at least once. I think that to prepare what to say to other people is effective way. If we do this, I will able to say my opinion.

  6. I thought that you were commenting only after being instructed by a moderator. This is a problem because that is not a discussion. Discussions need to be actively discussed by people other than the moderator. I suggest that the moderator stops giving instructions during the discussion and the discussion be conducted by other people only. If you do that, your discussion will be more active.

  7. I felt that the group discussion became monotonous because the moderator talked for too long. Each opinion was clear and easy to understand. However, since the moderator spoke for an extended time, the conversation felt too formal. I think the quality of the discussion would improve if other members had more opportunities to speak.

  8. I thought the problem of this discussion is that we didn’t tell whey we pick this theme. This is a problem because our theme is unique and difficult to understand. One way to fix this problem is to show why we chose this theme in the beginning. If we do this, it is more easy to understand this discussion.
