In this lesson, we continued from last time and talked about our experiences while traveling.
We talked about what kind of irritation we get when traveling, but when traveling by plane, there is a lot of discretion, so it is inevitable that problems will arise.
However, when a typhoon hit once and other airlines' flights were canceled, our plane still departed and we were told that our luggage would arrive on a later flight, which made me very nervous.
Looking back, it was a valuable experience, but one I hope will never happen again.
Today we talked about travel.

When asked to choose from five factors that are important to you when traveling, I said that I choose safety and reliability over price, which he said was a very interesting answer.
I think that Japanese people would probably give similar answers to mine, but hearing the teacher's reaction made me realize once again that this is where people from other countries have a different perspective.

As homework, I handed in essays about the company I work for, and in today's class, Teacher Steven corrected them.
We mainly talked about the company's revenue and competitors, and also about business developments over the next 1-2 years.
As we talked, the conversation turned to the corporate culture that is common not only in the company I work for, but also in Japanese companies. It was a valuable conversation that made me realise once again the gap between Japan and other countries.

In today's class, Teacher Steven introduced me to a website that shows how the same English word is pronounced differently depending on the region.
I also re-learned the difference between the present simple and the present continuous.
I realised the importance of continuing to study tenses, even though I felt it was difficult to understand them.
