I Would Like Some Advice— Hidemi Sato

 Hi, Miki.

I totally feel you because I’m in a similar situation. I’d studied in Canada for 3 years. when I looked back at the time, I didn’t have lots of confidence and I was too shy to communicate with people. You must get exhausted and struggle every day. I’d like to give you some useful advice. 

When I was in Canada, I tried to listen to podcasts and watch American movies as much as possible. If you keep doing that, your listening skill will get improved more and more. Communication start from listening. Then, you need to talk with people in English as much as possible. Even if you don’t have confidence right now, people will understand you. Most people are kind and friendly. I’m sure they will understand what you try to say. Don’t be too scared to make a conversation with people. Fake it till you make it. You can do it!

I hope you try this out and get used to it as I did. I wish you the best luck in your future endeavours!

   Today's market was fun because there were a lot of shops. I saw accessory shops and clothes shops and tried a game, too.  It was the most interesting that many of the accessories were made by people. Both of the students and the sellers seemed to enjoy the market.  I felt this market was one of the interesting cultures for the students and the local people in New Zealand.

Surveillance Technology- Hiromi Yoshioka

   I think the surveillance technology will help keep us safe, because if we use surveillance technology, we can notice crimes easily. The surveillance technology will help us to prevent or solve crime. Also, the picture quality of security cameras is really good these days, so the police can identify criminals more easily and it will help move investigation forward smoothly. Also, not only for prevention or investigation of crime, but for children's safety, the surveillance technology is useful. It means that if a child gets lost, parents or other adults can search for him or her by using the surveillance technology. That technology must help improve safety for children.   However, the surveillance technology can sometimes invade our privacy if it is used wrongly. The abuse of the surveillance technology is dangerous for us, because the abuse of that technology measns that someone can know what we do or recognize our personal information without noticing us. So, we must understand
