Today's speaking was orginesed very well so I could speak more fluently and confidently, even I joined this speaking lesson a bit late. Additionally, activities were chosen properly which I was able to understand definitions of some words

I felt comfortable during the lesson and everything was organized very well. Follow-up questions made our speaking easier, it was like a roadmap that lead us to our destination. Most importantly, i was able to use a new app which I have never seen, even heard before.

Maybe, it would be better if smtng should be added to make speaking lessons more natural and comfortable for students. I mean, to grab their attention, one hook maybe a good way. Anyway, i liked the lesson)

1. I felt a bit nervous at the beginning, and even a bit anxious, because I didn’t know O’g’iloy. I also had no idea what the speaking class would be about or what we were going to do, so I felt unsure and uncomfortable at first.

2. Speaking became easier once I knew she’s an Uzbek girl. She was really kind and open, and shared her experience about studying abroad and getting a scholarship. Because of that, the conversation felt more natural, and I felt excited to keep talking.

3. I think it would be better if we had a little more time to talk. That way, we could get to know each other better and feel more comfortable, which would make the activity even easier and less stressful.

4. I would say 10. O’g’iloy kindly shared everything I asked about, and she was also interested in me and my major. The interest was mutual, not one-sided, which made me feel very comfortable and confident while speaking

When I was asked to speak in class today, I felt a mix of nervous and confident. I felt nervous because the topic, reflections on shopping habits, is something personal and I wasn't sure how to articulate my thoughts clearly. However, I also felt somewhat confident because we had just listened to an audio recording discussing the advantages and disadvantages of online versus offline shopping. The audio helped me to organize my ideas.

What made speaking easier today was definitely having that audio as a starting point. The two speakers presented very different viewpoints, which helped me to understand the nuances of both online and offline shopping experiences. The first speaker's emphasis on convenience and selection in online shopping resonated with me, as I often use online platforms to save time. The second speaker's point about the importance of physically examining products, especially clothes, also made sense.

If I could change one thing about the speaking activity, I would have liked more time to prepare a detailed outline. While the audio provided a good framework, I felt slightly rushed in organizing my own experiences and opinions.

Overall, I would rate my comfort level speaking today as a 7 out of 10. I was able to express my ideas relatively clearly, thanks to the audio recording, but I still felt a little hesitant due to the lack of preparation time and the personal nature of the topic."
