The Three Minute Thesis Competition -- Yuri

 I watched and listened to two presentations carefully, but I could hardly catch the content. I really respect them because not showing any nervousness or they didn’t have nervousness. In addition, they were smile and did gesture very often. I thought it was amazing that they could express what they had done in a short time of 3 minutes. I felt very different the way I would give presentation. It is always difficult for me to do gesture or speak clearly in front of people.

Students at the school could learn how to cook, grow plants, make and fix things with some equipment and tools such as kitchens, electric drills, etc.). One of the advantages of this style is that the students would not tend to be bored because they...
