I Would Like Some Advice - Himari Kosugi

 Hi Miki,

    I know exactly how you feel because I'm in a similar situation.  I stay in New Zealand and also I don't feel confident about speaking.  I know a good idea which has helped me.  You should go to the city and buy something.  When you want to buy something, you have to talk with the cashier.  It's one of the good opportunities to practise speaking English.  Also, they will never remember your face and name, so you don't need to be shy even you make mistakes.  And it is the another good idea to talk in English with your friends who came from the same country with you.  You and your friends can improve English with each other.

    Hope that help.

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-Nagisa Kanakubo

  I think surveillance technology is necessary for our safety. However, it can be dangerous thing.  That technology is very useful to prevent crime and keep cities safe. In fact, there are so many CCTV cameras all over my country. And I have never been involved in crime. That tells us thanks to them, we can live more peacefully. However, some of them make me uncomfortable. For example, when I realize that someone is watching my movement, shopping habits and myself, I feel scared even if I don’t have nothing to hide. In other words, I worry that someone can identify me if my personal information is leaked.  In short, surveillance technology is important, but I feel that our privacy may be invaded.
