spring vacation☆

It was good for me to hear nativespeaker's speaking in this class. I think my listening ability grew. So I 'm very grateful to professor Philips♪ And I'm also grateful to all of my classmates. Thanks to all of you,I could enjoy class!
Now, we have about two months as spiring vacation. I'm going to read English novel and watch English movies which doesn't have subtitle on DVD. I bought new computer for it!
How are you going to study English in this vacation?
I hope all of you spend nice spring vacation(^^*)/
Well, see you again!

My regret.

I felt regret for a little speaking.
I couldn't speak English very much, because I was afraid of my mistake of using English.
I studied how to break a silent atmosphere in English Communication Level 2.
But I couldn't make use of it in this class.

I had to be positive, and I should used any words (easier words are O.K.!!) for tell you my opinion.
The level up of language speaking is PRACTICE again and again!!!

I will visit to USA, and do homestay in this spring vacation.
I want to study speaking English, so I must talk with host family.
If it's difficult for them to understand my speak, I will try using another words.
I think the more speak, the more progress.

I will grow from the regret.

Last Communication

I was in a trouble.
I couldn't contribute the blog.I don't know what's wrong.but,Mr Phillips gave me invitation mail again.so,I can write down the blog now.thank you Mr.

then,the foreigners came to us,and had a talking and drinking together.
I have no oppotunity to talk with native expect communication class now.so,I enjoyed that talk.

I thought that things by grace of communication class.
I was probably to be shy when I spoke in English.but I like to talk in English.
I wanted to talk with MORE people.I regreted this thing.

Good Luck on the next new step!

Good evening! How are you?
I'm fine of course , but feel loneliness a bit.
You know, our last class finished yesterday, and we can't meet so long. For some friends, it is hard to meet again...
I thought each friends in this class were so great. I felt a sense of belonging in this class.
In the next semester, we'll move up to the new grade, and walk each own way. But all of us are "English mate" , I think.
Thank you for enjoyable class , and good luck on the next new step.

Finally, I introduce my best home page, and then, say good bye.
This page is written in Japanese. So maybe, this do not match in here. But I can get energy, and positive attitude through seeing the page. See here as an experiment.↓↓↓

Good spring vacation, good next semester, good life for you.
See you again.

What I learned

I was sick and I couldn't join in. Sorry. But I learned from the class that expressing my idea or opinion correctly is important. I could speak only a little, but thank you.

The class ended.

I feel the second semester ended soon. Something I memorized is that I was tired very much on last October. As time passed, I came to recover little by little. But I will take a rest more in this spring vacation. And then, see you again everyone.

See you again

I could enjoy this class. As you know I am a fourth year student. I am gonig to graduate from this university in March.Most students in this class are two year younger than I. But I really liked talking with you. Thank you so much. I will continue to study English.
When you see me, please talk to me. Let's have a coversation in English. It will be a good practice.
See you again. Bye .

Dear my best friends!!

Hello:)) What's up??
Yesterday was very enjoyable class!! I think most of you could enjoy speaking English then. In my group(Kenichi, mika, yoshie) talked about part time job, dream,hobby etc.
Although I tried talking about Computer, other member didn't like that. So I gave up.
Anyway,Since Everyone spoke English so fluently, our group were always exciting.

I will become junior soon. And my seminor starts.
My major is English and Computer. Maybe yours are concerned with English too.
As long as we are atudying same thing, we are good friends and rival.
I'm not sure that I continue this class or not. Because I'm taking 2types teacher's licence(English and commerce). Whether I could take or not depends on the timetable in the next term.
I hope we can practice together again!!
Bye-Bye!!

Finished


Good bye everyone. I finished all classes to be an English teacher. At last, I can say good bye to Hirosaki university.
I will stay in Hirosaki, and study study study! I will take a test for teachers five months from now. So, my battle with English lasts forever.
See you again, my friends! Thanks a lot! Bye-Bye!

FINISH!!

 We had good times in this class!! I enjoyed English inside and outside class!! Thank you , everyone!! I like English better than before!!
I am sorry to join in the party. Because I had a part time job. But We may have chance to drink again!!! If so, I abusolutly go!!

Last class

I'm very tired because I had THREE tests today.
How is the results of your test?
I'm so-so.
Today is last class.
I don't know whether I take English L4 class.
But I really appreciate your kindness.
Many thanks to everyone.

about the class

To participated this class , I thought many things,but the thing I was impressed the most was your attitudes toward English.Many of you were positive and had clear purposes to study English. So great! Everyone spoke English fluently. Really wonderful! Attending this class,I really think I have to practice English more and more.I could learn a lot of things to study with you.Thanks a lot☆

we finished tests!!

I was so lazy. I left the message on this blog only once!

So today I try to leave messages as much as possible. I'm so sorry.

Today I felt a lot of thanks to everyone in my class!!
To the friends who have taken the same communication class since Level 1,
to the friends who I met in this class for the first time, thank you ..thank you so much!!!!

In Engrish communication class I've got many good friends!
So I'll take Level 4 class.

How about you? Will you take it?

Today's class.

We were divided into five groups, and talked about the college. Specially we talked about some class of the Humanities. We talked actively, we were always laughing (The contents is too real to show here, sorry). And we talk about snow.
Remembering about snow, this morning I was near to be under the bus. Going the class, I slipped on the road. Then bus stopped suddenly a few meters behind. Everyone, pay attention for the snow and car, please.

Full House

Today I want to introduce my favorite American TV show. That is the "Full House". Do you know this?
This is also televised in Japan (see 7 pm. Tuesday NHK educational TV) .
You can see friendship, family love, comedy, and so on in this drama.
When I feel down or want to escape from real world(especially on exam period), I see it and laugh and laugh!
I see this drama on DVD in Eglish with English subtitle. To tell the truth, I can't understand perfectly. Nevertheless, I can laugh and feel fun.
Here is Home page I found by google↓↓↓
In spring vacation, I suggest taking in this drama to you, not only for improve your English skills, but also for feel enjoyable♪

In this connection, my favorite character is Michelle. She is a so cute baby in this drama's season1. Do you know her? What do you think? I love her smile very much!!

my poor writing

In last class I felt so awkward .
I thought both cases would give us some influences by each ways.But I hoped to watch movies(especially musical!), 'cause I was afrad of silence.
We can talk with each other easily in Japanese,but when we discuss in the class (or sometimes even talk in the small group),we zip up our lips and look down.
I talked about this problem with some classmates a few times,and found we had some common reasons for silence:

We don't know What to say(means "I have no idea!").
We can't make ourselves understood in English.

So these make silence, and silence makes us feel SO nervous.
However,whether we have much English vocabulary is not really the point,I think .It depends on our will.It isn't bad not to understand.If anything,we should say BY OURSELVES,"I have no idea."or"I can't undearstand what you mean." and so on.So we can put in a few words to help each other.
This is one style of the communication with others,isn't this?

I wish I could have exprss my opinion by myself in last class!!(><)

We have two classes left!

In today's class, we talked about the last two classes. Some people want to watch movie. other want to discuss something, (Ken wanted to study language history.)
In my case, I want to talk in small group. I want to discuss something. I think we have little chance to talk with all classmate in this class. So some people must have classmates who haven't talk yet, I think. (Of course ,we talked each other many times on this blog!!) That's why I want to talk.
However, whether to watch movie or discuss, both of them will make our English skills improve!! so I also have the idea that I want to watch movie....
If anything, I want to talk!!!!!!Talk and talk!!

Today's class...

Today's class left a bad taste in my mouth. I couldn't speak out at all.
To tell the truth, I didn't have firm opinion in my mind.
When we talked about what should we do in the last two classes, I said I want to watch movie or TV program in English. But this reason was not to practice listening skills. I said that because I just thought watching movie looks easy to take class. This is disgraceful and cheap reason...
Now I think, I should have think about "what is my priority in this class" from the beginning. My priority of this class is improving communication and speaking skills. So for me, I need more practice communication in the last two class.
Anyway, although this comment is shamefulness , I feel fine rather than keeping regret only in my mind.
In either case (watching movie or discussing in small groups) , let's enjoy the last classes. See you on Monday.

Throw peanuts around !!
