Sentence Stress in English Pronunciation - Emi Kawamori

 I learned about 'content words' and 'grammar words'. When I speak English, I don't have to say grammar words strongly, because we can understand the meaning of the sentences by the content words. It means that we don't have pay much attention to all the words what they say. I think it is an important point of increasing listening skills.

Japanese people hardly consider about the sentence stress when they speak Japanese so I think it is difficult for me to add stress on the sentences.

    I agree with your opinion. We don't think about sentence stress in Japanese. This may be one of the reasons why we think English difficult.

    I also think most of Japanese don't consider about the sentence stress, so we have to pay attention to word stress.

    I also learned content words and grammer words from the video. I think these are important for both speaking and listening.

    I totally agree with you. It is very difficult for Japanese to pay attention to stress, but it's important.

    It made me realize why Japanese people do not pay attention to their accents.

    I think Japanese doesn't need to be paid attention to sentence stress, so it is difficult for Japanese people to put stress on the sentences.

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. According to above, the technology of CCTV camera makes our life safer and thanks to it, we don't have to much scared of stranger. Although there are any benefit to us, I sometimes feel little scared of the CCTV camera. When I use the lift, there are often CCTV cameras on the wall. It makes inside of the lift safe, but we cannot know who is watching us.  I feel scared of been seen by someone without my notice. As conclusion, it makes our life safer, but the company which sets the cameras  should make it clear who is watching and how the inf...

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.

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.
