Favorites

Favorite book, favorite song, favorite memory. These are the topics that attracted more than one student to suggest them. This week you should write about your favorite something. What is your favorite (book, song, memory, activity, etc.)? Tell the rest of us why you like it and why it is interesting to you.

I'd like to introduce my favorite rock group, since you probably don't know about them.

My favorite rock group is the Grateful Dead. They were together from about 1965 to 1995, which is an eternity for a rock group. I first heard of them when their first album came out. My friend played it for me and said "Listen to this rock group that plays jug band songs." (I was into jug band music then.) I was amazed.

The musical influences on the Grateful Dead were very eclectic, and I have eclectic tastes, so I always enjoyed listening to their music. The members had backgrounds in folk, jazz, blues and even classical music. Many of them began playing together in a jug band, which was one reason they often performed many jug band songs. They had such different musical backgrounds, and they improvised so well, that the audience never knew what they would play next. Even they didn't know what they would play next. They just made up each concert as they went along, rather than playing from a standard list the way most musicians do. Their fans started following them around from concert to concert because each concert was so different. The Dead recorded each of their concerts and encouraged members of the audience to record, too. That attracted more people to each concert, and more of their fans began recording as many concerts as they could, because each concert was so different. It got to be a joke that you didn't have to advertise or even do preparation for a Grateful Dead concert because they not only brought their equipment, they even brought their audience with them. The audience kept growing and growing until they were the most popular concert musicians in America. Now more and more of their concerts are being released on CD.

New topic

Hello.

New topic I suggest is "Treasure". Treasure I suggest in this blog does not mean precious or expensive things but what important for you.,For example, family, friends, pets , a memento of you and so on. Moreover, I want you to write your memory or episode about your treasure.I think your treasure shows what you are like.

I hope my suggestion is adopted.

New Topic!

How about talking about ‘Globalization’ or ‘Internationalization’? Many people use these words in recent years, but what is ‘Globalization’? What is ‘Internationalization’? A person who has the ability to speak English fluently is a global person? What do we need to become international? I think this topic is difficult to find answers, but we can debate this topic deeply from many different viewpoints. Let’s talk about this!

New Topic

I think "the earth"is a best for new topic.Now,we have a variety of problems for living on the earth.For example,there is a problem of global warming,a lack of natural resources or food,the destruction of the ozone layer by a chlorofluorocarbon and so on.We must solve these problems surely for the future of the earth and we must do whatever little things we can.
So let's talk about the earth.

New topic

I think "favorite books" is the best for the next topic.
We need to read many books because we can acquire knowledge,but we don't have much time for reading. I want to know about books that you have impressed and I want to read them. We can save time to choose what books we read and it prevents us from reading boring books.
Why don't we write about this topic?

New Topic !!

I think "respect person" is the best next topic.
Because I think everyone has respect person. For example, your families ,your teacher,your friends, etc.
So, let's talk about this topic !

My suggestion!






My suggesting topic is "What dou you think of JAPAN?"


Now,we have more and more chances to talk with foreign people.
At that time,whether we have some opinions about JAPAN is very important,I think,
because Japan is playing a important role in many situations.
Japan is one of the world`s leaders,so we cannot ignore the influence of Japan.
If topics are related with Japan,everything is OK!
For example,the character of japanese people or japanese language,japanese historical places,
Japan's government,politics,environment,incidents,economy.


Let's talk about Japan!!



New topic

I think favorite song is good new topic. Because songs have connection with memories, hobbis, feelings and so on. For example, if I listen to one song, I will remember one event, and it will make me happy or sad. And then I think that everyone has each favorite songs, so it is suitable for new topic. Therefore, talking about favorite songs means introducing oneself.
What opinion do you have about this topic?

New topic

I think favorite songs is good topic.Favorite songs are dependent on each of people's character.They represent each of people's thinking and view. So,this is very interesting.

How is the topic?

New topic

I think 'favorite book' is best for new topic.Many people probably have read a lot of books.To introduce their favorite books is very useful for many other students. In the world there are many valuable books but there are also many boring books.It is a waste of time to read boring books.However to read valuable ones is very important for our life.Thus to introduce favorite books each other is the best for new topic.

New topic I suggest

We wrote sentences about a lot of topics, but I have a topic I suggest. The topic is “your best memory”. The topic we wrote is “favorite food”, “movies”, “hobby” and so on, and these show your present interests. So I’d like to know your past too. When you introduce yourself, I think that to tell your memory is a good way.


Moreover, this topic, or your best memory, makes us happy. This is because the best memory doesn’t mean an unhappy memory. When you write the sentences about the topic, you will be pleasant and can write English happily. And when we read what you wrote with English, we can also feel happy. This is very fantastic! In other words, your happiness makes many people happy.


Therefore, “your best memory” is a very good topic. So I suggest it as the next topic.

New topic

I think each person's best memory is the good topic!! For example, your junior or senior high school life, child hood, your birth...etc. Anything is okay! Most of us met each other for the first time last month, and so we've not understood each other well yet.We've experienced many things until now. Memories have an influence on one's life and tell about oneself clearly, I think.

New topic☆

I think "dream" is the best next topic.

Because I think each person's dream express each parson easily. And maybe all the members have a dream. So writing is easy!
Also I expect that knowing other's dream stimulate us.

Why do you think??

my favorite movie

My favorite movie is Back to the Future.Back to the Future is a 1985 Academy Award-winning science fiction–comedy film directed by Robert Zemeckis and produced by Steven Spielberg.
The film's basic storyline involves the premise of time travel being used to breach the generation gap. It is so funny for me.So I like this movie.

New Topic


I suggest environmental issues are good for the next class topic.


There are many environmental issues happening these days such as the rises of the sea level & average temperature and abnormal weather and so on, though it is something to regret. There are many kinds of problem, and members of the 3B class choose their themes in the topic. Then there'll be many contents about environment.
So it'll become interesting! I think it is more interesting than fixing the topic narrowly to make 3B members determining their own theme free.

How about this proposal?
