“When in Rome, do as the Romans do.”
That was the topic of the seminar.
This time, not being a host, I could participate in the conversation as everyone else did. In the seminar, we discussed adapting to another region or nation’s lifestyle or culture, such as dark tourism; whether to adapt to a place’s culture if it’s bad and should try to change it; and whether to solve local problems when traveling.
Before the seminar took place on Monday, I was, unfortunately, a volunteer at the Science Week exhibition, and therefore, I missed the English class on Friday. Even worse, I forgot to check Managebac on the weekends, so I came on Monday unprepared. On Monday, I came in having to do everything extemporarily.
When the seminar started, I was surprised that I generated some good points, and got a relatively good score. I noticed that Joshua made fascinating and original points, so I want to congratulate him here for doing a good job.
Honestly, my impression of this seminar is not as clear as that of the previous discussion. Perhaps it’s because I did not participate as much as when I last did.
In conclusion, this seminar was an interesting and casual debate about clashes between cultures. Many people came up with different perspectives, and overall it’s beneficial to those who listened.
I like how concise and sincere you are when you recap your performance. It’s a pity you attended the seminar without sufficiently preferred preparation. I like your invariable title.
Well, no language problems except that I think your impressive vocabulary item ‘extempore’ should be ‘extemporarily’, or in any case you’d need an adverb form of the word.
Yep, not a huge amount of detail. Let’s hope your memory is better in the next seminar, or maybe it is your destiny to take notes?
I know this is not detailed, but I can’t improve much as I don’t remember much that day. I have no idea why my memory went bonkers, too.
Fair enough 🙄
