my poor writing

In last class I felt so awkward .
I thought both cases would give us some influences by each ways.But I hoped to watch movies(especially musical!), 'cause I was afrad of silence.
We can talk with each other easily in Japanese,but when we discuss in the class (or sometimes even talk in the small group),we zip up our lips and look down.
I talked about this problem with some classmates a few times,and found we had some common reasons for silence:

We don't know What to say(means "I have no idea!").
We can't make ourselves understood in English.

So these make silence, and silence makes us feel SO nervous.
However,whether we have much English vocabulary is not really the point,I think .It depends on our will.It isn't bad not to understand.If anything,we should say BY OURSELVES,"I have no idea."or"I can't undearstand what you mean." and so on.So we can put in a few words to help each other.
This is one style of the communication with others,isn't this?

I wish I could have exprss my opinion by myself in last class!!(＞＜)

We have two classes left!

In today's class, we talked about the last two classes. Some people want to watch movie. other want to discuss something, (Ken wanted to study language history.)
In my case, I want to talk in small group. I want to discuss something. I think we have little chance to talk with all classmate in this class. So some people must have classmates who haven't talk yet, I think. (Of course ,we talked each other many times on this blog!!) That's why I want to talk.
However, whether to watch movie or discuss, both of them will make our English skills improve!! so I also have the idea that I want to watch movie....
If anything, I want to talk!!!!!!Talk and talk!!

Today's class...

Today's class left a bad taste in my mouth. I couldn't speak out at all.
To tell the truth, I didn't have firm opinion in my mind.
When we talked about what should we do in the last two classes, I said I want to watch movie or TV program in English. But this reason was not to practice listening skills. I said that because I just thought watching movie looks easy to take class. This is disgraceful and cheap reason...
Now I think, I should have think about "what is my priority in this class" from the beginning. My priority of this class is improving communication and speaking skills. So for me, I need more practice communication in the last two class.
Anyway, although this comment is shamefulness , I feel fine rather than keeping regret only in my mind.
In either case (watching movie or discussing in small groups) , let's enjoy the last classes. See you on Monday.
