 Today, many people enjoy visiting other countries as tourists, and  they return with stories of interesting things in faraway places. Marco Polo was perhaps the first tourist - a traveller who came home after many  yeas and wrote a wonderful book about his exciting journey.
  We  know a lot of about Marco Polo and his travels. He came from a rich  family of merchants in the city of Venice, in modern-day Italy, and he journeyed to Chine and lived there for a long time. Most of these things are in his book, which is called The Description of the world. It became very famous in different countries all over Europe.
 But there are also many things that we do not know  about Marco Polo. For example, nobody knows much about his early yeas in Venice, and his family life fin Chine is a mystery. He lived there for seventeen years, but did he have a wife or a child there?

Lesson 3

-
  Today's lesson is about the effect of native languages. I was surprised that babies get rid of pronunciations which they don't need so we can't speak another languages well. I also think the differences between Japan and other countries in the class. For example, we usually take a lesson so quietly in Japan, but in America, many students tell others their opinions in a class. The culture shock affects learning other languages so we should not only practice to speak other languages but also study other countries' cultures in order to learn other languages.

THE CARIBBEAN FILE

-
'Take a look at these,' said Naylor.   He put two photos in front of Munro. Two men. There were names on the photos. One man was dark, Asian maybe. His name was Sam Tajik. The second man looked European - German or Scandinavian. Jonas Beck.   ' Sam Tajik. Jonas Beck,' said Naylor. 'Dangerous men. Terrorists.'   Naylor and Munro looked at photos which two men were reflected in. The two men are terrorists and they faced each other in the photos. Naylor and Munro felt that something bad would happen, so they looked for the two terrorists. What would happend? Could they found the terrorists?

Lesson 5

-
   Today’s lesson was about the way of studying foreign languages effectively. When teacher said repeating was good way, I remembered the way of studying English in high school. When I was a high school student, I had to take reading test in English class. It was we had to change Japanese into English. Of course it was difficult to do it instantly so I practiced many times at home and I took the test. I practiced it very hard at that time because I didn’t want to take the test again in teachers room if I couldn’t pass the test. However, I think the test was so effective to learn English. I don’t want to take the reading test forever but I should practice translating aloud like this test.
