Sentence Stress in English pronunciation - Nagisa Kanakubo

 I understood the difference between content words and grammar word. The former has necessary meaning and is stressed. On the other hand, the latter is grammatically important and is unstressed. Also, the contrast between them is significant.

    I learned what you found in this video clearly. It may be good for us to pay attention to content words when we listen to English.

    I also learned content words and grammar words. The video taught me how to think about which words to emphasize and which not.

Surveillance Technology - Emi Kawamori

   I think that the advantage and disadvantage of surveillance technology is the debatable problem. In my opinion, the technology of the CCTV camera makes our life much safer. If there was no CCTV camera around the city, there might be a lot of crimes. For example, in the supermarket, it could be much easier to stole the stuffs.

Surveillance Technology-Nagisa Kanakubo

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.

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.

       Talking with friends makes me feel relieved. However in New Zealand, there are few friends, therefore I’m really into talking with my friends on the phone. Due to the time differences between Japan and New Zealand, it is difficult to do that, however its difficulty makes me think that I should value my time.        For example, the time to communicate with family and friends that I used to talk to before coming here is precious time and without that, I would not be able to be happy.  Therefore, in my opinion, making phone calls is not only difficult but also makes me feel happy.
