Precious experience
I went to New Zealand Film Festival 2006 in Tokyo on last Thursday.I really enjoyed it!! I watched River Queen which is directed by Vincent Ward. He made A Map of the Human Heart in 1993, What Dreams May Come in 1998, also earned a writing credit for Alien 3 in 1992, The last Samurai in 2002.
And do you know Temuera Morrison? If you took Modern Oceania lecture last semester, you should have watch Once Were Warriors. He is the part of the Jake in the movie. This time his part was Te Kai Po who was the head of Maori tribe. After watching the movie, I could ask some questions, take a photo and get his autogragh!! It was beneficial for me to talk with him!!

Today was great!
Everyone has gotten in a new group, and sooner or later all the groups found topics they want to report about. For the next few weeks you will have to research your topics. Some of you will have to do a lot of research in English. Others will have to do a lot of translation from Japanese, but either way you should be working on your English vocabulary.
Please tell the rest of us what your group decided to report about and how you plan to research it. Keep us informed as you find more sources and information. If you have anything, any websites or other information, that you want us to know about, please contact us.

Mother's Day!!
How are you everyone?I'm a little tired becouse of classes and part-time-job(-_-)
By the way,last Sunday,we had Mother's Day.
Did you say thank you to your mother?
In my case,I always couldn't be obedient to my mother,and though I live away from her,we often have arguments, so this time,it's a good chance for me to say thank you to my mother.I sent flower and message for my mohter(^_^) I hope she understood my feeling.
Well,how about you??
Then,see you tomorrow!

Weekend
Hi! How was your weekend?
I really enjoyed this weekend.
On last Friday, I joined a birthday party for three international
students. They mostly talked in English, but they sometimes talked in French, German, etc.
They seemed to be able to use more than 3 languages! I was very surprised and stimulated.
And another thing I found is, when I drank, I feel more comfortable to speak in English! That may sound strange, but that's true. If you feel nervous to talk in English [I think there aren't so many in this class...] , it's worth trying!
See you in tomorrow class!

How to memorize new words
Next month, I will take TOFEL exam.
So I try to memorize 50 words per a week now, and every Monday I have to take a check test prepared by Mr.Sawada.
But it is tough for me to memorize 50!!
Lets discuss how to expand our vocabulary in our class.(I discussed about it at applied linguistics class on last Monday, but I want to get more opinion.)
