Our Great Class "English ⅢB"! by Michiko

In April I was looking for a class that I could learn how to write down academic English essay, for my graduation thesis and TOEFL test. Fortunately Prof. Philips told me about this class and I could take a writing class finally! Before I went to study abroad, I took an Advanced English ⅢB that Prof. Philips taught, but at that time I couldn’t understand what he said and even the contents. I was just sitting in the class and pretended as if I understood. However, after coming back I could listen to English, understand about the contents of the class and use the knowledge of writing English essay. When I was in NZ I took a writing class as well, but the class was too many students to ask questions in class, so I always went to my teacher after class and asked some questions that I had. The goodness of this English advanced ⅢB class in Hirosaki uni was very small class and it was relatively easy to ask questions rapidly. We leant not only academic skills of writing but some interesting topics such as about linguistics, international problems, and movies. I strongly recommend that students in Hirosaki uni take this English class for their English improving! Thanks to this class, I learnt the difficulties and the importance of English writing. Sincerely thank you so much for Prof. Phillips my classmates. Have a nice summer vacation! Michiko Nara

Lotta Love

When I was a elementary student, I was impressed Mather Theresa. I met a book written by her at library. I couldn not understand well, but I thought just "I want to become a like her!!!"

I love her. She makes peace for poor people and gives love them.

She has a lot of love and never forget saying "Thank you".

I really respect her still now.

 

 

"Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love"

 

"If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other."

 

"The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread."

"Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own."

 

 

Don't forget telling love.

Don't be affraid giving love.

Love yourself.

 

Thank you! Love Tsuzura

Wonderful Class ⅢB

I'd like to introduce about my advanced English class ⅢB! This class is quite small class because the student is only three, but the class contents is really deep about writing!!

Actually, I'm not good at writing and I had never studied about formally essay writing. However Prof. John Philips taught us this in order really thoroughly, so I learned to write essay formally a little.

In addition, I could learn the writing style in essay is quite different between Japanese and English. I thought the difference in the composition of the sentences is involved in  writing style difference through this class.

Also Prof. philips told us a lot of interesting talk about movie or African culture or interesting news paper and so on. So I had interested in old American movie, I want to watch these when I have a time!lol

I enjoyed my class! Thank you Prof. philips and my classmates!!
