I am a person who would like to speak English well. If you go to a country where English is the first language, I believe you will learn more quickly, so I chose to come to the United States where I am taking ESL classes at a university. We have a lot of activities to practice speaking English, and I was impressed by one activity which was called “Electing a President and a Vice-President”.

When the teacher gave us the task, I thought it was a very good topic because everyone here is interested in this topic now. I thought it would be a good chance for us to learn more English because we would have to imitate both the dialog and gestures of the American presidential candidates (候选人)we have recently seen on TV.

We were divided into two groups; there were five students in each group. Each group selected candidates to run for president and vice-president. The other students in each group supported the candidates. All of us had to prepare speeches.

The president and vice-presidents had to give campaign(竞选)speeches. The other students also had to convince people to vote for their candidates. Speaking in front of the class and trying to persuade them to vote for our teams was an important thing we learned from this activity. We were learning to use future conditions. Here are some examples: If I am elected, I will fight for better education. If she is elected, she will give women more opportunities. Everyone prepared their work together. We helped each other. It made me happy.

On the presentation day, we were excited and had good luck. We had a good teacher to help us relax, and the presentations went well. We shared the experience together, and the teacher took pictures of all of us. We had a lot of fun.
