Final Class


(i)
We learned Canadian cultures in August.
We experienced how to use money when we went shopping.
In Les's class, we studied songs, histories, pronunciation and so on in English.
We become useing English more than last month.

We liked to answer some quizes and  sing a lot of songs. It was fun.
We could learn English pronunciations in songs too. 

Our memories in this class are Les's personality and running dictation.
Les is always vigorous in our class.
About running dictation, we have never done like that game and we did it for the first time.
We had to memorize a few sentences, so it was difficult for us.
However, thanks for it, our skills of memorization became better than before.


(ii)
We will continue to learn English by reading some English books, watching movies in English and writing my dialy in English when we go back to Japan.
The different tool or technique we have learned in this month was to learn English by usinng running dictation. In Japan. We rarely do like that.

English fable you like

<About English fable>

The Ant and Grasshopper
http://www.longlongtimeago.com/llta_fables_antgrasshopper.html

The ants worked hard during summer for next winter, but grasshoppers didn't work any more and sang during all summer. When winter came, there were enough food for ants because they worked hard. On the other hand, there were no food for grasshoppers because they were lazy and did own favorite things. Thus, the grasshoppers died.
The story tells us that "It is wise to worry about tomorrow today"

about your own native country


The difference betweenJapan and Canada is the way have a meal.
Japanese usually use chopsticks when we eat, but Canadian don't use it every day.
Canadian always use forks, knives and spoons when they have a meal.

And Japanese traditional costume is Kimono. It looks so beautiful.
We put on a Kimono when we have a special event such as a marriage ceremony and a coming-of age celebration.

Our introduction



Hello I'm Akiko Yamasaki.
I'll talk you about myself.
I like dancing very much so I belong to the dance club in university.
When I was a high school student, I played basketball.
I'm not good at dancing yet, but I love it.
I want to dance with my friends, so I'd like to go back to Japan soon.



Hello, my name is Yuka Ozaki. I'm from Miyazaki in Japan and I am a student of you at VIU now. Let me introduce myself.
 First of all, my birthday is December 11th in 1992 and I am 19 years old now. I will be 20 years old this year and I will become a member of "adult".
 Secondly, my hobby is listening to music and singing songs. I love music and I always listen to music when I go to school and whenever I am free. Music makes me happy and enjoyable.
 Finally, my personality is shy and I am a person who gets lonely easily. I don't like to speak in front of many people. Whenever I do that, my face becomes hot and red but I like to talk with people privately. I like to talk with my friends because I don't feel lonely when I do that with them.
 This is me. I want to become a good English speaker, so I will do my best during this proglram.
 Thank you.
same age's dance member
