On last Monday, we had again a great
lecture, this time from Ms. Hibiya, the president of ICU! It was really
impressive for me, well, probably for all of my class mates. (Needless to say, the
lecture from Mr. Kitashiro was also very interesting!) I'm really proud of myself
in last November, who chose LITDY for my RW:))) And of course, thank you Ken for giving us a
number of wonderful opportunities to learn from great leaders!
Just like many of my class mates already did in their
blog, I'll also briefly write down some of the important points given in the
lecture from Hibiya Sensei, in order not to forget about.
1.
Study another language
If you learn another language, you'll be able to communicate with more people, so you'll be able to know more various ways of
thinking = It broadens your perspectives.
2.
Study abroad
Even though it is very hard to live in a different country, never
give up, tough experiences make you develop. Don't be afraid to put yourself in
a hard environment.
3.
Find your passion
You major at this university may not directly connect to your job in
the future. Find and Do what you really want.
4.
Money is not such a big
concern
Don't give up trying something because of lack of money. Money is always
in somewhere, so seek it.
5.
Keep doing something regularly
in order to keep both your body and mind healthy.
Finally and most importantly...
6. Anything is possible!（you can do it!）
"できる！"
Speaking of learning another language, I'm now wondering which world language class to take in next term, French or German... maybe I'm more interested in French "culture", but only for the "language" itself, I'm probably more interested in German.
However, I have two Swiss friends who speak several foreign languages (including French and German) and both of them says "German is definitely more difficult than French". In addition, when I was a high school student, I studied both French and German a bit in the lessons provided by the school during summer vacation, and I noticed that I'm better at pronouncing French than German......
The Course Sign up starts on 18 Feb but I can't decide!!!><
Hi, Maya!
返信削除Your post about Hibiya sensei's lecture was nicely summarized which helped me to keep in mind key points from her lecture ;) Thank you!
I like how you said "I'm really proud of myself in last November, who chose LITDY for my RW:))) ", that I also think exactly the same way!
It is really nice that you have some experiences leaning other languages, I am sure you will do well whichever you choose to study. Go for it! できる:)
