Special Thanks
Let me begin by thanking my professor Yoshida and my
all teammates for allowing me to take part in the ASEP 2010.
Overview of the
process
At
first, when I heard that the theme of ASEP2010 is ga better world,h I had no
idea that what we can present. But our teammates in Taiwan (Rε{I{Ά) suggested us to make our theme gTrusth
and they also began making an outline for the presentation before we met so I
think we could make our one smoothly even we had a limited time to discuss.
English for
participants
The
schools from 5 countries in Asia take part in ASEP and the affinity of each of
us is that English is not our mother tongue. The point is the most important
thing in ASEP because in the conversation of the people who use English as a
foreign language, there will be a conflict and an incomplete understanding.
When we face such a situation, what the important thing is trying to tell what
we think with our own words and I think it is the essence of communication. However,
to communicate with other person in English is not so easy for us. Of course in
presentation, furthermore in meeting or in a daily conversation, we have to
understand what they say to me and we also should choose the words to make what
we say easy to understand for others. In a closing ceremony, a teacher said
that fluency does not mean how fast you speak, it means how much you can tell
or communicating with. I totally agree with his speech and I felt it in
reality.
Turn from gteammatesh
to gfriendsh
I
think that a good point in ASEP is not only get a
chance to use English but also have friends. I think when we overcome something
big trouble or a big project, we will get something
special in our hearts. It is gfriends.h I could be a friend of the students in Rε{ this year. Moreover, I corporated
with the students of OMhigh school last year, I still keep in touch with them and they are
really good friends for me even after over the presentation. I think that we
rarely get friends in less than 1 week and what make it real is ASEP. Through
the ASEP, we can get a great experience and friends. It is the enchantment of
ASEP and also the reason why many people miss it.

At
the love river with all my teammates.
