About the Videos

There are a great deal of videos in this unit taken from an actual interview of two high school students in Japan. There are eight topics in this unit, each with responses from our two high school students.

Please while watching these videos, think about the differences and similarities between their feelings on these topics and yours. Also, try to place yourself in their situation...What would you do if you were a high school student in Japan?
