Is to pick a topic you know the teacher either has little wiggle room for choosing questions, or a topic that you know they'll know nothing about.
For me it was the first option. The topic I chose was about foods I liked and my cooking ability. Kinda results in a narrow field of questions. One of the girls in my class chose fashion and shopping, and our middle aged male Japanese teacher just sort of sat there mouth agape unable to think of questions about it. Poor guy.
Or you could get stuck with a sadistic teacher who likes to pretend that there is unlimited wiggle room in the questions. One of the guys in the class said he liked snowboarding, and was stuck answering questions, in Japanese, about why snowboarding was dangerous.
That had to be fun.
Today was the first time I went to a Senjinkai meeting from start to end, as I always arrived after class let out last quarter. It consists of a whole lot of planning on where to go, and a whole lot of me pretending to understand Japanese. Also one of the girls put the birthday hat on me and one of the other members took a photo of me wearing it and making a stupid face which, no, I don't have a copy of, and I'm afraid that I really don't want to see the picture myself anyways. Also, I wore my pretty piggy shirt, and apparently it's hilarious to people, despite the fact that I bought it IN Japan. I'm sort of confused by that. One of the Senjinkai members took a picture of the shirt and everyone has been asking me about it all day.
Somebody really needs to explain to me what is so confusing about a shirt with a pig flying superman style, wearing a cape, with the words Beautiful Pig written underneath him.
I don't think I quite get it.
