I kept in touch with my friends in class to keep a record about what was going on in the class. Day 1 topic was all about small talk, which I am really good at. But I am sorry for not being able to be present.]]> 2018-05-31 16:00:13 UTC https://padlet.com/sumiaya_seham/9qdjhi9l9nwi/wish/264826016 sumiaya_seham https://padlet.com/sumiaya_seham/9qdjhi9l9nwi/wish/264826846 We had a discussion on favorite food and how to prepare it. We also had a lecture on how to make convincing arguments, which was a very good topic. We also discussed more about the differences between discussion and argument. Next we formed groups and discussed about what we did in class on the Day 1. We also practiced mirroring, ie; asking the other person to repeat or clarify part of sentences. At the end of the lecture, we were given task to come up with a town hall project for the town of Jyvaskyla. ]]> 2018-05-31 16:04:10 UTC https://padlet.com/sumiaya_seham/9qdjhi9l9nwi/wish/264826846 sumiaya_seham https://padlet.com/sumiaya_seham/9qdjhi9l9nwi/wish/264829843 We talked about suggestions and presenting our ideas. After a general briefing and correction, we started presenting our project ideas to other groups. After discussing all of the suggestions and ideas of other groups, my idea of the amusement park was finally chosen with a bit of twist here and there.
After this, we were asked to list three places in this town Jyvaskyla which people should visit but are not so common. ]]> 2018-05-31 16:16:18 UTC https://padlet.com/sumiaya_seham/9qdjhi9l9nwi/wish/264829843 sumiaya_seham https://padlet.com/sumiaya_seham/9qdjhi9l9nwi/wish/264832672 Today, we went for a walk around the town, to those places which were discussed on Wednesday. We spoke to many new people, like strangers, with whom we have never spoken before. We could not visit all the places which were listed on Wednesday due to lack of time.]]> 2018-05-31 16:27:32 UTC https://padlet.com/sumiaya_seham/9qdjhi9l9nwi/wish/264832672 sumiaya_seham https://padlet.com/sumiaya_seham/9qdjhi9l9nwi/wish/264833602 The last class of this course was really interesting. Overall the course taught about HOW, WHAT & WHERE conversation should be done. I clearly understood that I should pick my words very carefully. Picking words with care will not only make my conversation strong but also make me feel comfortable while speaking and in front of others.]]> 2018-05-31 16:31:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sumiaya_seham/9qdjhi9l9nwi/wish/264833602
