Off to a good start!

This class seems to be off to a good start with the blog. Several of you are veterans already, and you know how much fun this can be. Do visit some of the other blogs around the Internet (especially the other English learning blogs) and don't be afraid to leave comments. Internet blogs allow us to contact people all around the world, or even other parts of Aomori prefecture.

Be sure to leave messages about what you want to do in class for the rest of the semester and especially if you want to have a class party for cherry blossom viewing. Cherry blossoms during Golden Week are one of the nicest things about Hirosaki.

If you take an interesting picture, be sure to upload it to the blog so the rest of us can see it, too. If you find any interesting links, be sure to tell us about those, too, especially if they are about English learning. I just learned about the ELT Podcast site. If you don't have an MP3 player, maybe you can listen directly on your computer.

Hello everyone!

My name is Hirono Sasaki. I'm glad to join in this blog again. Let's enjoy this blog together from now. My English skill isn't so good yet. So I'l try to practice and practice to improve.

I joined Welcome Party last friday. It was very fun and I made a friends. I became friends with Becky from New Zealand, AUT! When self introduction time, she sang a song of Michelle Branch and showed pictures of New Zealand behind her. That' s very impressing for me. Because I like Michelle Branch too!

Takashi, I agree with your opinion. Only writing and reading are NOT english. Listening and speaking are rather important to study English. And your boss thinks only about paper exam, I thought. Japanese English education system is still incomplete. I think.

Mizuki, if you have something to know about my visit, please ask me. I' ll take my picture to school tomorrow.

Anyway, Let's discuss a lot of things in class, thank you.

Today's Dinner！

By the way, today after finishing classes,I made curry and rice with my friend. We used many ingredients, which are eggplant, shrimp,ground meat, fried egg, natto! and so on.It was very delicious(>_<)!! Because we were very hungry!NO!no! It was really good! (^_^)I want to add the photo,but I couldn't do it because I'm not good at using computer... sorry.

Well, We have our class tomorrow! See you and good night!zzz...

Listening skills

Good evening!!
I have a topic I want you to think.Please give me your opinion.

I teach English to junior high school students as a cram school teacher.
Today I had a meeting about this years' curriculum,and we discussed about steps of listening test.Our boss told us like this.

"We don't have to take steps to cope with it.Because if we take steps or do not,students' score doesn't become better than now.Instead of it,it is more effective to make students practice writing and reading."

I didn't agree with our supervisor.What do you think about it?
Let's discuss about it in our class.

See you next lesson!

Good evening

Hi! My name is Mituki Okubo.
Today, I went to a high school and participated in a election. It was my first time I vote someone. The election room was very silence. But there were several watchmen. I feel a bit of tenseness.
I think it is good thing we can elect a leader by ourselves. Because we can join a politics by the election indirectly. I wonder why there are some people who don't participate in it. How do you think about it?

See you next class!

Hello!

Hello!
Nice to meet you, brand-new people.
and nice to see you again , people I met in L3 class!
I hope we can enjoy the L4 class and improve our English.

By the way, I went to the welcome party on last Friday.
I enjoyed it very much. I thought self-introductions of international students
were awesome! I especially loved canadian's one. That was so funny.
Did anybody go to the party? How did you like it?

Then, see you all on Tuesday!
