Hello,
My classmates’ presentation was easy to understand and I learned lots about British.
I knew that there were two parties of the Whigs and the Tories in Britain, and each of roles.
Also, I was able to remember occurrences in those Japan.
I felt that mini-lecture by teacher was difficult.
So I think that I try to search little about the key points.
Thank you.
