We watched a video of immigration officers. They were dispatched to the site, and went through lots of difficulties, such as being attacked, getting involved in arguments, catch criminals phisically and putting into a van. If I were there, I would get confused and thought "They should've told me these risks beforehand...". This is what I'm going to do in the next lesson.

First I had my introduction part reviewed. I forgot to give the other attendees the power control, though I'm clearly comfortable with it. Then we started practicing the middle part. I explained what we could read from graphs (e.g., drop sharply, increase slightly) and ran out of time. Next time we're going to carry this on.

We practiced hosting MTGs in Enlglish following the last lessson. Sensei listed up five topics, and surprisingly, all have something to do with my job. It was really helpful. We just practiced the introdcution part for today, and next time we're going to practice the most difficult part, middle. I'm a bit worried about how specifically I can talk about the topics, but anyway give it a try!

We talked about Gordon Ramsey's YouTube videos. I'm trying not to watch YouTube as much as possible these days, but it's a quite nice place to learn English. While he was in the UK and targeting only UK audiences, he spoke much faster with much stronger dialect and much more UK slangs, but after he started targeting international audiences, his English became much easier for non-natives to understand. After that, we started practicing how to organize MTGs in English. When I organize MTGs, I feel more comfortable by giving attendees more power control, and there was an example of it. We'll keep doing this for the next lesson, too. I might be organizing a MTG in English in a couple of weeks, so this practice would help a lot.

I pracitced explaining a recipe of an omelette from start to end, following the "Introduction, middle and conclusion" structure. For a middle part that I explained what to do one by one following pictures, there were lots of words I didn't know (dicing veggies, cracking an egg, beating an egg, whisk...). For intro and conclusion part, I was able to be more subjective than before in order for (virtual) listeners to get interested. I finally started to get used to being subjective.

This was the first lesson after business trip in Bangkok. Thanks to weekly lessons with sensei for more than 1 year, I was able to talk with foreign colleagues much more smoothly than last year. Lessons definitely helped me lower the barrier of talking in English. During three days of business trip, there were classes for 8 hrs in English and I had conversations with colleagues during break times and lunch times in English, but I was not as tired as I expected. This was a huge progress for me. I can't thank sensei more. For lesson today, I practiced how to host English MTGs, following Behavious Panel style. The topic was Supernanny's video. I struggled a bit because I couldn't come up with simple words (e.g. offended). Next time I'll do it better!
