A Midsummer Night's Dream

-
 "Puck: Through the forest have I gone,
           But Athenian found I none
           On whose eyes I might approve
           This flower's force in stirring love.
           Night and silence: who is here?
           Weeds of Athens he doth wear:
           This is he (mu master said)
           Despised the Athenian maid:
           And here the maiden sleeping sound,
           On the dank and dirty ground."
  The original story was written by William Shakespeare and you can read the story more easily thanks to the book I read. This book has both simplified texts and original texts so you can enjoy the story and the rhythm of the original texts. 

  Through the book, I was moved by the reason why the fairies changed the four lovers' love into hate and their hate into love. I also felt the rhythm of original texts was so beautiful.

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.
