[TITLE]About Today's Presentation
My male cousin has a qualification as a first-class registered architect.  So, I'm going to get him to design my magnificent house in the future when I get married with someone, because someday a Prince Charming riding a white horse is going to come to take me away. In that case, I'll refer to today's speech!

I was very inspired by his spirit. Building a house is impossible, I thought, but he built a wonderful house by himself. It was really nice, and I want to live in a house like that! What he said to us "You can do anything" impressed me and I'll never forget it.  Life is short, so we have to do what we want to do right away if we don't want to regret our life. I was given vigor in life from him. Thank you for a great speech.

That was a very interesting story. No one around me has ever talked about "building a house by ourselves." I have never thought of building my own house for myself, though I have been interested in cooking meals for myself. For example, we can buy many cans of pasta sauce, but instead of them, I'd like to make my own sauce which nobody else can make the same way. I guess it's kind of D.I.Y., isn't it?  I'll do it myself in my favorite area.

I was amazed with his energy and curiosity about doing something.  Even though it's cheaper to build their own house by themselves than to order some company to do it, most people couldn't decide to start it. He said it's good to make a big kitchen because people spend most of the time there. I think so too.  If I have children, I want to cook with my children and my wife. It's a good way to keep the family comfortable. I want to make something like a house or a dog house someday.

Thank you for your very interesting speech. I was so impressed. To tell the truth, I want to build my house by myself in the future. So it was a good opportunity to listen to your wonderful speech. You gave me a lot of ideas, hints, and advice, so I could have much better images and details. I know it's not easy to build my house by myself. But I will do my best, because life is too short. So we had better do what we love. Next Saturday, I will make a small house with waribashi, tsumayoji and takegushi by myself. This is my first step to build my house in the future.

The Japanese seldom choose the way they build their own house. Building a house is very difficult, but it is a good point that you can decide everything. Mr. Bufton made everything that he could make on his own. I think this is a very good idea. And also, putting garbage cans outside the house is a very good idea.

I was surprised that it costs much money to build a house. I liked the interior of the kitchen in Mr.Bufton's house, especially garbage boxes. They seem very useful when you cook because you can throw trash at once, and it seems easy to take out the garbage.
I was impressed by your words: "If you build a house, you should spend much money to make the kitchen." So, I decided to do that because I want to enjoy cooking.

Thank you for today's presentation. I envy Mr.Bufton because he did what he wanted to do.  And he looked happy during his presentation. I think it was because he spoke about what he loved. Life is too short, so I want to do anything I want to do.
I liked his stingy ideas. I respect him.

I'm so surprised and amazed that we could actually build our own house by ourselves.  My family was interested in building our own house because it got some damage by a typhoon this year. I really want to tell my parents that we shouldn't give up so easily.  I'm not sure if we will actually build. Although it's possible for us to do, I can imagine it'll be hard work. My parents and I think it wonderful to make something by our hands, and also it will give us some energy to start something new.

It was the most interesting speech I've ever heard in this class. At first when I heard that he built a house himself, I assumed that he designed it and asked somebody else to construct it. So, I was really surprised. Besides, he is a foreigner, so it must be tough for him to get lots of information and knowledge. But he did it.  So, I really respect him. And he said we often give up many things before we even try.  I thought about myself and I sometimes didn't try something when I thought those were difficult. But right now, I'm looking for a job and it's one of the turning points in my life. So, I'm going to do my best for everything.

I'm interested in the construction. I like to watch the TV about building a house.  For example, I often watched "Gekiteki Before and After" about remodelling old and inconvenient houses. I like it very much. Thank you.

I'm stingy, so Mr. Nicholas Bufton's speaker is very interesting and beneficial for me.  Today I found we really can do anything. Besides I was deeply impressed with his message -"You should do what you want to do!!" I am going to study abroad not for my future, but for my hobby. People around me ask me, "Why will you go there?" "Your studying abroad makes sense for your future?" So I have always thought "My selection is wrong?"  I shoundn't do it?" Therefore I was cheered up by his speech today!

Today's speech was very interesting for me and I was surprised at his story.  The most impressive words he said were "Life is short so you should do what you love." I was very much moved by these words. We can lead our life only one time so we shouldn't waste our time and we should do what we really want to do so as not to regret it someday.

When I saw his text paper, I thoght today's speech is difficult for me to understand.  But!! He was a very interesting man! and his jokes were funny!! He showed us his house.  It is a wonderful house. His pets were so cute. I love them.  If I build my house with my husband in the future, I would built a European house like his house.  His speech and pictures were beneficial for me! Thank you for your speech.

[TITLE]NICK'S HOUSE
I'd thought it was impossible to build my own house from start to finish. I think there are many advantages in building my own house. First, it's kind to nature to build a house on my own.  When I build a house, I can use natural materials. It seems bad for nature apparently to cut down trees.  but I think it's worse to use chemical materials. In addition, I can live more comfortably if I build my house on my own. I have no patience with building a house and I don't want to rob carpenters of their works, so maybe I will not try to build my house. But I agree with the idea that we can do anything because we can read and write. Books also make our lives comfortable.
