3MT Competition - New

 3MT Competition - New


     Our class went to attend the 3 Minute Thesis Competition on 20th of July, 2025.  I think it was a really good opportunity to experience student’s presentations even though it was very challenging for me to understand their speech.

     In my opinion, Mr. Md Salauddin Saimunthe who was the fourth speaker had the most interesting ideas for me because he suggested that “The right to connect an internet should be human rights”.  Therefore, I personally agree with him because I think internet is essential for people nowadays as it gives more opportunities for us to have a better quality of life.  For example, children can use an internet to do self-study via online websites to improve their skills and knowledge.  In addition, people from remote areas can access to health cares in case of emergency such as they can get initial doctor supports before they reach the hospital which can be far away.  Moreover, it also makes our lives more convenient such as easily keeping in touch with friends and a family and have an online shopping.

     In terms of the most effective communicator, from my point of view, Ms. Kati De Roux, the second speaker, was the best presenter because even though she presented through Zoom application but she delivered her speech really well.  Moreover, she explained her research in an easier language.  In addition, the picture of a painting that she chose to use in her slide, she chose it really well to link with the topic of her thesis even though I couldn’t understand all of her speech.

     I think the challenges that I have learned from this session was in order to have a higher chance of understanding an English speech, I will have to study more vocabulary and collocations.  Therefore, I will have a wider range of vocabulary and it will increase my listening, speaking, writing and reading’s abilities.  Moreover, I will have to practice speaking more often so that I will still remember those words that I’ve learned even though, this is very challenging for me because I tend to get nervous easily.

About me -- Hanako Iwatsuki

My name is Hanako Iwatsuki. I’m from Japan.  I’m currently living in Andersons Bay with Hugh family, but I’m going to move to another house in St Kilda with Hogan family next week. Andersons Bay is a lovely place near a beach. I’m really enjoying in Dunedin so far. Initially I love animals and nature, so I have been interested in them in Dunedin. In here, the animals and scenery are completely different from Japan, so I get excited every time I discover them.  When I was a high school student, my favourite subject was Japanese because in this subject, I could read some interesting Japanese literature.  The reason I chose this course is to improve my English skills especially speaking and writing skills, and critical thinking skills.  As I said, I love animals and nature, and to record them I started to practice photography. In addition, I like music, knitting, and reading (recently). I often do these hobbies in my free time. In contrast, I do not like study especiall...

About Me -- David

My name is David Woodfield, and I live in Māori Hill in Dunedin with my wife, Patricia, our toy poodle, Neo, and our Birman, QT. I like Dunedin for its vistas, historical buildings & vibrant cultural life. My favourite subject at high school and university was the history of art. I like relaxing with a good book and a coffee in a sunny spot. The kinds of books I enjoy include biographies, explorations of Christian history and ideas, and interior design tomes. I also enjoy listening to a wide variety of music and watching romantic comedies and science fiction movies. My good point, I would say, is my creativity & my bad is leaving things to the last minute. My goal is to be the person God created me to be, one step at a time.

Even back in Japan, I often have opportunities to interact with people from other countries, so I’d like to develop my English further and broaden my perspective. I’m a generally positive person, though I can be a bit shy at times. I’m really looking forward to the next four months with you!
