HIROKO:Well,to speak frankly,I read my notestoo!At the time,it was a relief to do it this way,butactually when I had finished,I didn't feel any realsense of satisfaction.I didn't feel positive about theexperience at all.
SPIROS:That's a pity.You know,although I waspleased with my presentation,I am not so pleasedwith my actual performance right now in thetutorials - during the whole semester I've not said anything in our tutorial discussions.Not aword.
HIROKO:Really,Spiros?Why's that?Do the other students talk too much?
SPIROS:It's partly that,but it's mostly because I have had no confidence to speak out.Theirstyle of speaking is so different - it's not the style we were used to during the course.They useso many colloquialisms,they're not very polite and sometimes there seems to be no order intheir discussion.Also,they are very familiar with each other,so because they know each other'shabits,they can let each other into the discussion.
HIROKO:You're right,Spiros,I've experienced that too.
