Daisy Miller

"What happened?" asked Mrs Costello.
"I didn't believe that she was honest and innocent," said Winterbourne. "Daisy sent me a message before she died. I didn't understand her words then. But I understand them now. She wanted me to like her, and believe her."

  This story is about Daisy Miller and Frederick Winterbourne. Daisy Miller is an Ameriacan woman and she travels Europe from America. On the other hand, Frederick is also American man but he lived in Europe for a long time, so he behaves like European people. Frederick falls in love with her and try to get along with her but his hope doesn't comes true easily. 

 I thought he is funny because he never gives up her easily even if a lot of people tell him he shouldn't love Daisy and Daisy herself makes a complaint for him. I also learned the differences about the behavior between Europe and America. This book is a little long but interesting. So, please read it!

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.
