Finishing class

We only have a few weeks left, and on Monday I plan to have you practice some listening. This is your chance to tell me what you want to do for the final class meetings. What do you think we left out that is important? What should we do more? Which skills do you think we should have worked on more? What information about English, its history, its dialects, its grammar and its vocabulaty, its literature and folklore, or anything else there is about English, do you think I should talk about in the remaining few classes?

The movie 'Otokotachi no yamato'

I went to the movie-theater to watch 'Otokotachi no yamato' last week. Main actor was Takashi Sorimachi and Sidou Nakamura, but I don't know them very well. So I couldn't know which actors play whom even if the movie had ended.
P.S. Professor Philips. My computer was seemed to repair.
Today,we talked about money and food.Then,I remembered a birthday cake made by american woman for my cousin. It was big ,rectangular and decarated with colorful flowers(pink,yellow,sky blue,red and so on) made from sugar.It was so beautiful!Do americans eat such a lovely cake whenever they celebrate someone’s birthday? If so,it is wonderful!

Today's menus

I'm glad everyone seemed to like today's lesson, even though it was more of a lecture than English practice. I hope everyone will be ready this Friday for more practice with menus, ordering food, takeout, being a waiter or a waitress, etc.



Here's the website for Giordano's pizza in the Chicago area. Chicago has a large Italian populaion (Alphonse Capone was the most famous, but they don't like to talk about him much) so it is famous for Italian food.

Chicago is also famous for Greek food. I'm sorry I don't have a Greek restaurant menu for you, because I love Greek food but you can't find it in Japan. Even in Tokyo the closest I've come is a Turkish restaurant. Whenever I go through Europe I try to eat at a Greek restaurant.

What kind of food do you most like? What kind of food would you like to try?
