<statement of the topic>
There is a factory in an urban area and recently waste products of the factory can't be disposed. Therefore, it's problem where to make a garbage dump in an urban area or a suberb area.
<introduction of panel members and their initial position>
Taiga: He is Russian. He lives in an urban area.
Mai: She is 25 and has two daughters. She lives in an urban area.
Chiaki: She is a Canadian and lives in an urban area. She wants to enter a university in an urban area.
Iku: He is Chinese and 42. He lives in a suberb area.
Riho: She is 60 and lives in a suberb area.
<important points of the discussion as you see it>
Three members agreed with making a garbage dump in an urban area because if the garbage dump is made in suberb, citizens in suberb have to leave their house and the factory have to pay for transportation. Two members agreed with making the garbage dump in a suberb area because if it is made in urban, many buildings have to be broke down.
<what the outcome was>
The members decided to make a garbage dump in a suberb area and a boss of the factory ensures stable living of citizens in a suberb area.
<my personal opinion>
I think there is a place in which no citizens lives in a suberb area and the garbage dump should be made in such a place. Then, the factory doesn't need to give citizens in a suberb area money for living. Also, it is a good way to offer a garbage dump in a suberb area to dispose waste products of the factory together if the garbage dump in a suberb area could.
<how effective the discussion was>
It was good that panel members had their own opinion with strong.
<how it could have been better>
I think a moderator not a panel member should have introduced panel members to citizens and said introductions of the members more slowly. It was a problem there were two moderators because citizens were very confused. Also, a moderator should not have suggested her opinion and should formed the member's opinion in the middle of discussion. In addition, some opinions changed to different ones in the middle. A panel member said there was no garbage dump, but the point changed to one that there was a garbage dump in an urban area in the end. So, they needed to decide the basic information in detail.

<statement of the topic>
how to solve the problem that the number of youg people who want to have a job of primary industry has been decreasing recently
<introduction of panel members and their initial position>
Mizuho: He is 55 and a farmer. His wife died and son has gone to Tokyo to work. His family has difficulty with agriculture.
Kyoka: She is 20 and a second-year student majored in design course at a local college. She wants to go to Tokyo to be a designer. Her father is a rice producer and yonger brother involves in agriculture.
Miyabi: She is 25 years old. She came to the city to marry with a man who is a farmer last year. She is loving country life recentry.

Asuka: She is 19 and a student majored in economy course at a local college. She wants to be a public service worker in the future. Her father is an employee, mother is a nurce, older brother is a office worker, and older sister is a student in Osaka.
<important points of the discussion>
There are some problems to the decrease of young people who are interested in agriculture. One of them is that farm family has little income. Also, young people don't think agriculture is worthwhile. In addition, aging of population is a bif problem.
There are some solutions to these problems. It's good to get students to go to a big city and to acquire higher education. And then, other solution is gathering many volunteers of students in the city or another big city to enjoy some agricultural activities. In adittion, holding a thanksgiving day is also good to gain attention to agriculture.
<what the outcome was>
Establishing an agricultural course in the college is the best way to attract young people to agriculture much more.
<my personal opinion>
Kyoka said there was not an opportunity to have another job not agriculture, so I thought it was not necessary to think about only agriculture. If the college gives students a skill of management, they might be able to have their own company in the city. I think it's good for students to take a class management.
<how effective the discussion was>
I think this discussion was coherent. The moderator summarized some opinions of panel members several times and asked various questions to the members, so I could understand well. Also, it was good for the moderator to persuade present situation in the city clearly in the first step. I think panel members expressed their opinion in detail and well.
<how it could have been better >
There were some of the members speaking a little faster, so if they speak more slowly, citizens can catch their opinion clearly.

discussion A
Members of group A discussed attracting customers to their arcade. Recently, a department store was built and sales of some stores in the arcade lowerd, so they have to think about attracting coutomers.
<About members>
Mariko: She is 37 and doesn't any children. Her hobby is listening to music. She works at a clothing store.
Sakiko: She divorced with a man and has children. She works at a liquor shop. She believes in Jobo Shinshu.
Chihiro: She is 28 and works at a candy shop. Her hoby is a flower arrangement.
Yousaku: He is 54, Korean, and has three children. He works at a vegetable shop. His hobby is fishing.
Atsushi: He is Taiwanese and works at a noodle shop.
<Important points of the duscussion>
Mariko: She recommended to make discount cards that customers can get one points a day and the deadline is one month. In this case, customers have to go to the arcade to buy something.
Yousaku: He recommended to give customers gift cards which is 500 yen off and for all shops in the arcade. If customers buy something which is higher than 2000 yen, they can get one gift card. In this case, even if a customer buys something which is 5000 yen, he can get only one gift card.
Sakiko: She suggested to hold a summer festival which has a shooting game, goldfish scooping and so on. The aim is to attract many people and get them to know various shops in the arcade.
Chihiro: She suggested to make a handmade original mascot of the arcade. It enables for customers to get the mascot by a gift card. In this case, it costs to make the handmade mascot.
<What the outcome was>
The members desided to hold a summer festival to attract many customers.
<My opinion>
I think the members should have used their identities. Yousaku is Korean and Yousaku is Taiwanese, so they can start a language class. In addition, Chihiro's hobby is a flower arrangement, so she can start a class of it. If many housewives go their classes at noon, vegitable shops can attract customers by a sale at noon. Also, it's good for restaurants to give a discount for students. Moreover, if there are few customers in a liquor shop at noon, it would be possible for the shop to change to a cafe to attract housewives who like chatting and customers who want to study drinking coffee.
<How effective the discussion was>
I think it was good to express their own opinion not just agree with other's idea without thinking something deeply.
<Has it could have been better>
If the group members speak more aloud, citizens can catch words in detail. In addition, I think the members should very often ask citizens a question about some problems. Moreover, they didn't solve a problem that some neighbors got angry with noise of a summer festival once. I think they should have solved this problem.

Last Presentation
This time, I talked about the topic that women and men didn't have the same job opportunities. I think it's important to create the society that both of women and men can have a job which they eager to. I managed to give a presentation without looking at the paper, but I looked at it.
Atsushi
He talked about his milestone. Now, he lives alone and he is happy with his current life because he can enjoy freedom. However, there is a problem that he doesn't worry about balance of food. He thinks being healty is important, but support of his parents needs for that. In fact, he caused a sick feeling twice a year. Therefore, he thinks living alone is good, but our parents are important for life.
Ryota
He talked about adult children. He thinks there are some people who can't work because of economic depression and the small job numbers. However, the people have to do their best without depending on society. Teachers and parents should teach them the importance of getting through the hard world. He thinks education is important.
Sakiko
She talked about fashion. She thinks we express ourselves through various fashions. If we change our hairstyle, it means that we clean up our act. It's free to express ourselves through our fashions. For example, wearing pierced earrings doesn't give so good impression to the society in Japan, but wearing them is not bad in America.
Takaaki
He talked about one-sided love. He thinks it is miserable for us. We seldom have the relationship with men or women because of falling in love at first sight because we can't understand one's inner faces. It's better to start have relationship with men or women after understanding one's inside.
Chihiro
She talked about work. She thinks we should work with purposes not for just money. In addition, we need to think about worth of money deeply. She also thinks money which has no purpose for using has little value.

Ideas about succsess
Yosaku
He understood the theme on ideas about success well. He thinks it's important not to give up the present problem to succeed. I think his voice was clear, but his eye-contact was focused on only one person. I think if he gives a presentation looking at all members, his presentation will be better.
Yukiko
She understood the theme on ideas about success well. She thinks it's important to spend time with regularity and not to sartisfy the present situation. I think if she gives a presentation with louder voice and looking at group members, her presentation will be better.
Riho
She understood the theme on ideas about success. She thinks it's important not to give up anything. I think if she gives a presentation without looking at the paper and with louder voice, her presentation will be bettr. In addition, if she talks about the theme more clearly, I can be interested in her presentation much further.
Ryota
He understood the theme on ideas about success. He thinks it's important to spend happy life, but we can't understand what is success forever. I think he gave a presentation with loud voice and eye-contact. In addition, he talked slowly, so I could understand his presentation well.
Asuka
She understood the theme on ideas about success. She doesn't know what is success, but spending happy time is important to succeed. I think if she gives a presentation with louder voice, her presentation will be better.
Me
This time, I talked about ideasto success concerning consistency. I think this presentation was better than last presentations, but I looked at the paper a few times. Next time, I will give a presentation without looking at the paper as far as possible.

Comments of my members
I will talk about Taiga's story's content first. His dream was becoming a Japanese teacher until he was a junior high school student. He was interested in Japanese literatures and he wanted to teach the fun of reading Japanese literatures to students. However, when he was a high school student, he felt pleasant with communicating with an ALT in English. And then his dream was changed to becoming an English teacher and going to another countries. I think he will be a good English teacher who is popular for students because he is interesting and kind.
Next is Mai's story. She dreamed of being a stage-actress from six years old to eighteen years old. In addition, she learned Japanese traditions of Classical Japanese dance and Tea Ceremony. When she was a high school student, she took a test to be a stage-actress two times, but she didn't pass the test. And she didn't give up being it even when she was seventeen years old, so she didn't study for the university entrance examination and she went to take a lesson every day. Then finally, she passed the first-stage test, but didn't pass the second-stage test. In the result, she gave up being a stage-actress. She seemed to learn it's important to do her best throught the fifteen years she tried to be a stage-actress. Now, her dream is being a Japanese instructor and going to foreign countries. I think she became strong emotionally through this experience and I want her to be a good Japanese instructor.
Last is Atsushi's story. When he was young, he helped his mother do household chores of washing dishes and so on with reluctance, because of her strict personality. However, he lives alone now, so helping household chores in the past is useful for his living. He seems to like his parents now. I think he is very kind, so his parents are also kind.
And I talked about how was my childhood and how did my personality changed. This time the listeners listened to my presentation with nodding my story, so I could speak with relaxation. Next time , I have to present my story with consistency.

Presentation for self-improvement
When I present my opinions in front of members, I care about voice and eyecontact especially. I think the points were good, but I sometimes presented my opinions looking my draft, so flow of presentation was not so good.
