Ok, sounds good Shunsuke.
In my opinion, I'd like to discuss "First impression".
What is the first impression, how important it is for you guys, sth like that:)

Thanx,

Shino

Hi!!

Hi, how are you?

Shino, I think you are right. Tomorrow, we have to do discussion(debate??), maybe.
We had better decide a topic, but we have little time for preparing. So, an easy topic is good!!

For example, How about Communication??(what is good communication?, How to ice-breaking, How to communicate people who you meet first time...etc). But this is a little bit difficult topic...;;
Though I suggested, I don't reccomend...

So, do you have any other ideas?

Gd evening:)

Hi, how's going?
What are we ganna talk about tmr?
I mean we're going to have discussion tomorrow, right?
we have to decide the topic tonight...well, do I misunderstand?

I hope someone will reply for me;)

Shino

Hi, there^^

Hi guys, you had a good weekend, didn't you?


my opinion what we do after watching the Simpsons is debating about Japanese culture.
actually i just combined you guys' ideas...
coz we are gonna watch the Simpsons, the story is about visiting Japan.
we will know what foreigners think about Japan.
we will realize there are many both good and bad japanese culture or habits.
also,we may be able to get many opinions from Mr,Philips and Tsagaanaa:)

during the kind of debate, we should use new vocabs that we get them from the movie.
.....

that's my opinion:)


Saya

Good evening

Hi!
I forgot my password, I couldn't write article.
Now, I get new password. Be careful so as not to forget your password.

By the way... I think what we sould do next English class.
Watching Simpsons is good idea becouse we like Simpsons and animation can remind us easier what they do and what they say.
If we can't understand perfectly what they say, we can imagine them from scenes.
The result of watching and hearing , we can study vocabulary or idiom, I think.
I want to more increase my vocabulary...

And I think listening to news is good, Shunsuke. I wanna lisning to English, too.

Thanks:)

About Tomorrow's Class

Hi,

I don't have any ideas yet, but I think watching Simpsons is a good idea. I agree with Shino.
And, Tsagaanaa's idea(Talking about some topics) sounds good, but there is little time for preparing for the topic. So, if we do that, we should choose easy topic (introducing our hobbies, how was our weekend, ...etc).



...How about listening training??
That was done last class, but I don't think it was enough.
So, I want to do that again!!!!
If we do it, I'd like to listen to more News.

Do you have any ohter ideas????

Hi

Hi, how are you today?
Tsagaanaa, you had a good weekend!
That sounds really fun;)
I think I should spend my time outside more.

It's rainy, and I'm so cold today:(
I know some people get sick 'caz of the weather, and can't attend their classes.
Please take care of yourself, don't catch a cold;;

Well, I have thought of the next class, what we should do on Tuesday, but haven't come up with any ideas yet.
I think Tsagaanaa's idea is good:)

We'll watch the Simpsons first, and then talk about sth...
Well wait, if we do that, we should've decide the topic, and look over it, searching on the Internet or books to spread our knowledge out in advance.
Umm...oh, it maybe depends on the topic...:(

How about writing?
Mr. Philips said we've done well on the writing test on that day.

I also look forward to hearing from other people about the class.

Thanx,

Shino:)

New Monday

Good morning
How was your weekend ? (i believe it was awesome ;) )
For me, it was so fast  because Saturday was Wednesday class.
Yesterday, I went Totemachi to watch Yosakoi Tsugaru festival. This festival was very exciting and awesome. I really wanted dancing but i wore skirt lol ...so i couldn`t  - yeah it was my fault : ( (I should have worn trousers). By the way, last year I was member of Yosakoi circle (sakuru) Hirosaki university and i participated this festival.

Next, want to talk and discuss tomorrow English class
what shall we do ?
Is there anyone who wants to do someting tomorrow. We should decide it until today`s evening. But there is not any idea.
In my opining:
Let`s talk about what you want to know from others. Ex: what do you think about god? , Do you think we should speak in english like native speakers?, What do you think about refugees? 
It is not like debate, just know someones idea, but maybe depends on topic it will be like debate. Of course if you want to debate that time on that topic, Why not? :)  I think it is good for our speaking and listening.
So prepare your question and of course your idea.

how about it, what do you think? it is just my idea.
I`m looking forward your ideas.
I will check blog every hour.

Good Evening

Everyone wanna watch "Sympsons".

Good evening!

It's me, Shino.
I thought it's better if I write this here rather than writing Saya's.
I also know that movie which Saya's already mentioned.
I said I wanna have the another one, but I'd like to change my opinion.

"Simpsons in Japan", I wanna have this one.
As you know we didn't choose it, but why don't we try it this time?
I hope that'll be good for all you guys.

Thanx.
Shino:)

oops...

well,well...I know it's too late,but please let me introduce myself a little bit...


My name is Saya,and I am a native Tsugaru-ben speaker!!lol
However, usually,I try to hide my accecnt, so I believe nobody notices that I am from Hirosaki...lol

Um..I have nothing special to introduce about me...but I just love my cat, UK/US rock music, live, teddy bears,drinking,chatting, and English!

Let's go for drink before this term finishes if you guys like it...

Tuesday lesson

Hi, everyone
On Tuesday, i want to watch "Constant gardener".
-----It tells the story of Justin Quayle, a British diplomat whose activist wife is murdered. Believing there is something behind the murder, he seeks to uncover the truth and finds an international conspiracy of corrupt bureaucracy and pharmaceutical money.The plot was based on a real life case in Kano, Nigeria. ------

It seems very interesting.

How about you guys, what movie do you want to watch on Tuesday?
