Reflection of ゛Fishbowl " on May 11

(Central America) Yuriko Ishihara

I think it was a good practice. Japanese has a tendency not to interrupt a speaker at the conference or a panel. However, this time, you suggested us what question we should ask during Fishbowl practice. That really encouraged us to do it.

We tried to listen to the presenter very carefully, so we could have the chances to ask the person. If there wasn't any suggestions, we might hesitate to interrupt.

On the other hand, we didn't know how long the presentation would continue, so we worried about the timing to ask.. In case the presentation is shorter than we expect, we may loose the chance to ask.. In addition, if we know the contents of the presentation, we might be able to do better questions at better timing as a practice .However, this practice will be the first step for us to negotiate each other.

Thank you.
