I'll use English for...

I'm sorry I couldn't write for this blog last week.
Now,let me write about this topic.

In the future,I want to be a elementary school teacher.
In Japan, some schools begining the teaching of English.
So I want to put my knowledge and experience of English to account.

Also I want to use English for various scenes.
For example,foreign travel,internet,
communication with overseas student,and so on.

Last message

OK, it's time for your last blog message. Please put your best assignment from this semester up on the web for the rest of us (and the rest of the world) to review here.

If you can put up a picture, please illustrate your paragraph or essay. Try to find some links that would be good for your essay, too. In other words, make it into an Internet essay, not just a class assignment on paper.

Here's a photo of my daughter and me some years ago when I visited Professor Jan Vansina of the University of Wisconsin. He's from Belgium and is one of the founders of African history.



BTW, my grandmother went to the University of Wisconsin but she didn't major in history, she studied economics. The economics department at the University of Wisconsin was very famous at that time, when John R. Commons was the head of Department.

***I'll use English for...***

I would like to use English for my job.

Because I want to work in foreign country someday.

So I think I need speaking skill at first.


And I have promised my best friend to bring her to US.
She and I had studied English together when we were high school students.

But she is in another univercity and she doesn't study English now.


I'll study hard to go US!

English and Me in the Future...★

I want to be a police officer, because American army has come to my hometown in last year for operating X-band radar. Therefore, it has decided to establish special police box there. So I want to work at there. Police officers who work at there need English ability. If I can be a police officer and work at there, I'll use English. So I need all skills , but especially need speaking skill, I think. Of course,I must speak formal American English.
I also want to trip many countries. I may trip to abroad this spring vacation. But it's not sure.....I want to go !(><)

I want to use English for...

English will become more useful in future. And I want to acquire English skills for my future.
When I guraduate from school, I would like to become a lawyer who can speak English highly. The world of tomorrow is, many people will come into Japan. I think people from Asia will increase, then the problem which involves them will also increase. I want to talk to them when they are in trouble. So I think learning American English is better, because American English is used by more people.
Of course, if I can do it, I'm going to learn both English(^^)b!

my situation...

May be, I will mainly use English to reseach something.
Also, I will communicate foreigners with English.
However, I need special English to reseach.
For instance, Words that I recently learn are quantity number, orbital, reaction progress, etc.

I can study the special English when I am third years in this university.
I am looking forward to the class from now.

Anyway, I will use English in many cases.

luck

We have only two English classes. Oh, the test will come. It's very pitty.

In the future it is easier than now that we travel around the world. We can go to America,the United Kingdom, French and other countries. The time for moving will reduce greatly. In the near future, we can go to America within 1 hour.

If the situation comes true, the chance we meet foreign people will increase. so we must use English. we will use English for talking. We must learn English and improve English skill until we can speak Englis fluently. So I think the most important English skill is speaking.

And we should learn formal English. British English is being used most abundantly in the country which speaks English. And we, Japanese soeak it easier thanAmerican English for its accent. I think it is easier to learn British English than American English.

So what should we do next?

There will be only two blog assignments after this. I know what I want to make the last assignment, but I want to think of something that will make you want to write comments on others' blog entries. You haven't left many comments on each others' blog entries even this week, although you did leave more comments this time than you have before.

This week I want you to write about how you think you might use English in the future. Will you use it for travel, at work, or on the Internet? What skills do you think you will need to use most? Listening, writing, speaking or reading? What kind of English will you have to use? Formal British, formal American, or some dialect? What special vocabulary do you think you will need to learn to use?

This may take some thinking, because most of you are just starting college, and not all of you have given much thought to what you will be doing after college, much less what kind of English you will be using then.

Some of you may be planning to study abroad. Tell us if you plan to go to an English speaking country, or if you expect to use English in other countries. Some of our students didn't expect to use English when they went to non-English speaking countries, but English is now the world's leading lingua franca, so more and more people are learning it.

thank you a lot m(__)m!!

I wrote "I`ll make efforts to improve my english skills" in this blog.
But ,honestly speaking, i could not do so much(~ ~;).
Despite it, everyone stimulated me.
So i`m thankful to have classes!
Thank you very much(^^)!!

to Ikumi :
I want to visit Nordic countries someday.
Because maybe we can see aurora there,and spend white nights.
It`ll be amazing~!!

to noriko :
I like japanese foods the best(^H^).
Sure I like chinese,italian,russian food ,too.

to Masanobu :
I rarely use PC.
But now we`re needed PC skills as well as english skills.
So I should use PC more like you(>_<)!!

I like all of you!

Now I am impressed with my days of English.
I enjoy this English classes, and my English skills are little improved by this. And everyone, you are quite nice classmates. So I want to say "thank you, I could spend good time because of you".

Now I remember, my crisis in last Autumn.
I was late to hand in the survey paper, which was needed the person who wants to take English classes. I paniced and paniced!! Can't I take EnglishⅢ classes? No, I don't want that!
...After all, the teacher permitted me to join this class. If I couldn't take part in advantage classes? Sure, I wouldn't meet you.
So,I am very pleased to be able to spend these days with you.

That's all...I want to say for you(^^*

☆FOR CLASSMATES☆

Today is January 25th,so we have only a little class left.
How was the EnglishⅢB class?
At the begining,I was really nervous
because I had not confidence im my English ability.
How about YOU?

Oh,as Rina saying,
Almost students of this class taking the same EnglishⅢA class!
The debate in English was a little bit difficult for us,
but through these debates,we could cooperate each other.

So,I have only a little opportunity to see YOU in this class.
I feel pity a little...
Let's enjoy the rest(^^)

What I Want Ask You.....

I want ask you what food you like the best all over the world .
When I was a junior high school student , I went to Russia . I visit many places and ate many kinds of Russian foods. In those , I like piroshki very much. It is made with the paste which made from flour. And the paste wraps mincemeat , onion and some other vegetables.
It was very delicious. So I like it very much!!
In Japan , we can eat many countries food. Last year , I ate the meet of dog for the first time(^^; If you had eaten some countries food or have your favorit food , please tell us!!

Thank you, everyone☆

We had some debates in EnglishⅢA class.
I am happy because I have talked with almost classmates for that.
I think each of you have some good points in your character.
The debates needed strong teemwork and I think we did it well even if we couldn't win in the debate.
The reason is because all the members supplemented a weak point by his or her good points, and it helped each other.
Thank you for all of you!!

And
we are going to do last debate two weeks later.
Let's make the debate splendid!!


Of course,
I thank all of you in this class☆
The exchange of opinions about each other's writing helps me understand the right way of writing very much.
I hope to see more of you♪

Would I like to say?

Now, I am sitting in front of a PC.
Also, I have many such time in a week.
Recently, our society can not deal with a lot of things without computers.

Therefore, I want to ask you "How many time do you use a personal computer?".

need

First, I answer to Ikumi's question. I want to go to Australia.

I don't like winter but like summer. In this season, the season of Australia is summer.

So we don't afford to remove the snow and can swim sea.

Therefore I wnat to go to Australia.

By the way, I write the theme that "what would you like to say to the others in the class"?

・・・How do you spend holidays? Do you often spend inside or outside?

I often go to Hirisaki civic library and read books and make report.

***I would like to ask...***

I would like to ask you that what the sountry you are interested in?


I really want to go Itary.

Because I'm interested in Itarian cooking and culture, and so on.


So please tell me Why do you like the country.

***My club***

I belong to 2 music club.

One is Hirosaki University's club "LMC", and the other is my dormitory's.

I play the bass and sometimes sing.

Most of my friends are belong to music club.

They are so funny and we have very good time every week.


Next month, I have 2 concerts. But I haven't started my practice yet...

So I have to do it as soon as possible!!!

The next blog assignment

This week I thought I would leave it up to you. What would you like to say to the others in the class? Don't forget that it's up on the Internet, so anyone in the world with Internet access can read it. But mostly it will be read by your classmates, so write something that you think will interest them.

See if you can put something up here that makes the other students interested enough to write a comment to your message. See if you are interested enough in anything the other students post here to write a comment. I'm curious to find out what you think the other students in the class will be interested in.

Next Class.......

Recently, I'm very tired. Because I must be apresent classes after school !! It's very hard......

I want to learn about "Relative Clauses" in chapter13. I don't understand these well...So I am sometimes confused about the way to use relative clauses. In paragraph, we must write without omission. Therefore,I think it is important to know them well. But other chapters are also important. After English ⅢB classes finish, I will read and learn this text by myself.

Next class...

The topic on this week is ...
"Which chapter in the textbook should we do next?" isn't it??

I think the CHAPTER5 is best for us.
Reasons are almost same as opinions written by other classmates.
In CHAPTER4,we learned about Logical Order.
And through the CHAPTER5,we can practice using them.

Also I think it is better for us to do the page 51 to 53 again
at the beggining of class.
We would finished these pages as a home study...but
I think that look back about Logical Order before we study
the CHAPTER5 is more effective!
