Sentence Stress in English Pronunciation ― Riri Matsushima

    Watching the video, I noticed I didn't understand exactly what is stress. It is pronouncing some words, which is content words, loudly, clearly and more slowly. And pronouncing some words strongly also means that I have to pay attention to the unstressed words. That information will be helpful for improving my speaking skills.

    I found what sentence stress is from this video, too. I spoke English vaguely before I watched this video.

    I want to pay attention to the unstressed words, not only stressed words when I listen to someone's English.

    I think it is good way to speak English better by considering the sentence stress.

    Indeed, there is no concept of stress in Japanese, and I thought that many Japanese do not understand what stress is.

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. In case of on the street at night, the possibility of happened to meet suspicious person would be rise.

Surveillance Technology-Nagisa Kanakubo

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.
