Tale of Mystery

-
"The sudden strength of the guest of wind that entered nearly lifted us off our feet. It was as stormy night, but it was beautiful and terrible at the same time. A whirlwind had apparently collected its force in our vicinity, for there were frequent, violent changes in the direction of the wind. The thickness of the clouds, which were so low that they were pressing upon the towers of the house, did not prevent us from seeing the speed withe which they crashed against each other."              (From The Fall of the House of Usher) 
 
  This book has three stories, The Fall of the House of Usher, The Oval Portrait, The Masque of the Read Death. These are mysteries but horror. I can read a lot of grotesque expression and the illustrations are also ominous. The book's writer is Edgar Allan Poe.

  Honestly, I don't like these stories because the stories scares me. So I couldn't enjoy this book.

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.
