My Opinion
As the last Apollo citizen, I am very happy to be able to reach the group's first consensus. However I couldn't convey my opinion better than usual, I think it was my growth that I had the attitude to convey it. Bye bye Apollon, many thanks to all citizns!👏
In your first opinion, you said you almost agree with this topic. I thought you could answer more questions from audience because you did not completely change your opinion like from disagree to agree. You concerned about the merit of the work experience, so I surprised you answered questions related to the merit. But, at the same time, I also thought that you could have answered the question like that because you cared about the merit.
返信削除You seemed unconfident when giving your opinion. It makes you less confident and afflicts yourself. You should have expressed your opinion with intonation. That way, you can be confident in yourself and easily reach your audience. Thank you.
返信削除You may have confused your audience because you started talking before you had a chance to formulate what you wanted to say. If you summarize your story and then focus on the main points, you will be able to calmly say what you want to say.
返信削除I thought that you were talking slowly while the question time from the audiience. It is a problem because question time is important for audience to ask questions. I suggest that you try to answer questions more quickly. If you do this, audience can ask many questions. Thank you for your great discussion until now!
返信削除You were a little confused in this discussion. You speak to your audience's questions without consolidating your opinions in your head, so you don't get what you mean to us. The willingness to answer questions from your audience is great, but you should organize your opinions and say them. That will increase the number of people who agree with your opinion.
返信削除I felt you could say your opinion in the beginning but in the middle of the discussion, you seemed like quiet. This is a problem because each member should show their opinion or thoughts as same level as other members in the discussion. I would suggest that you willing to answer some questions or suggest ideas in order to show your opinion to other members and audience. If you do so, you can contribute to the discussion more. Thank you.
返信削除You spoke very positively in the discussion, and your ideas were easy to hear and understand. The point you answered to the questions of audience proactively was good. If I had picked up one, I wanted you to insist your first statement stronger.
返信削除You were a little quiet during questions from the audience. This is a problem because I didn’t understand your thought after you changed your mind. I would suggest that you tell why you change your mind. If you do this, I can know more deeply.
返信削除I thought you were a little quiet during the Q & A. That means you could reflect your only a little opinion when you, discussion members, adjust your initial proposal by the audience's questions. You should join the discussion more actively even though you should say something important that will affect your result. If you do so, you can get more chances to say something and the discussion may be deeper.
返信削除I felt that you changed your opinion so quickly. This was a little problem because the audience will be confused you have some questions about the topic after you changed your opinion. You should have had your own will and opinion, and insisted them. By doing do, the discussion will be more deepen.
返信削除I thought you could discuss the topic as a member of the discussion. But I sometimes could not understand what you wanted to say. It is maybe my fault, but if possible, you should change your expression more simple. Then everyone could understand your statement, thank you.
返信削除You were actively trying to answer questions during the question and answer session, but sometimes your answers were not clear. This is a problem because the questioner cannot understand your answers. You should think a little more carefully and answer the questions succinctly. This will make for a smoother question and answer session.
返信削除I felt like you were not answering the audience's questions very well. This is a problem because it means that your opinion will not be reflected in the discussion. So I suggest that you answer more questions. I think this would make for a more contented discussion.
返信削除The benefits of the receiving side were too vague. This is a problem, because I couldn't understand why you agree with it. You should agree with a more specific opinion. Then they could have shown more concrete benefits of the receiving side.
返信削除I think you were little quiet during the meddle of discussion. It is a problem because I couldn't understand what you wanted to tell the most. So, I suggest that you show your thought and idea more. By doing that, we can understand your idea deeply.
返信削除You tried to answer the questions and ask your member, but when you say the first opinion, you speak too fast to take a note. So you should speak more clearly and slowly when you talk, we can understand your opinions more.
返信削除I thought your first opinion was little bit rough and you changed your opinion so quickly. I wanted hear your opinion as a web designer. If you do so, people can feel with you and understand more clearly.
