First International Conference in a While
Today, I participated in an international conference and made a presentation in English for the first time in about two years.
It was an online conference using Zoom, but I was very nervous. In particular, the problem was the question and answer session after my presentation.
I was not confident that I could answer English questions immediately and well.
Since the first question was simple, I managed to answer it.
However, I could not understand the intent of the second question.
Eventually, I had no idea what to say, and barely said "umm, it's a difficult question for me...," then the questioner said something like "okay" and the session was over.
I must study harder.

久しぶりの国際会議
今日は、約2年ぶりに国際会議で英語で発表しました。
Zoomを用いたオンライン会議でしたが、とても緊張しました。
発表はなんとか終わったものの、問題はその後の質疑応答です。
英語を聞き、即座にうまく答えられる自信がありませんでした。
1人目の質問は簡単な内容だったので、なんとか答えることができましたが、2人目の質問はうまく内容を理解できませんでした。
結局、なんと言ってよいかわからず、" umm, it's a difficult question for me..." と返したら "okay" のように言われて、質疑が終わってしまいました。
もっと精進します。
