特別ポスト: スピーキング練習のプレゼンテーションポスターズ

Hello!



How are you? Today I would like to show you some examples of the presentation posters you did on the topic of things that make you healthy and happy. These posters show your best advice on what you do to be healthy and happy, and what you believe over people can do too. 

You did a great job on these and I'm proud of your work. So here is a small gallery of your posters!













Good work and great job! Thank you for your hard work on the presentations, and I'll see you soon!

週1~5 - ECA (英語基礎表現) II (Super A): writing about places (Part 2)

Hello,



How are you? Do you remember the pictures I showed you in Part 1? I will now show you these pictures again, but with some links to background information about them.

Look at the picture above again. It looks like an ordinary country house or barn on the outside, but it has a unique story to it. Click on this link for more, and on this link here about the picture. 

Look at this next picture. It looks like a quiet beach now, but it was once a place where great history was made. Click on this link to find out more about this place.


Now look at this next picture again. This was the birthplace of a famous person from the 20th century. Click on this link here to find out about who the person was. 



Finally, while this final place has people in the picture, the place is very important. Click on the link here to find out more, and click on this link about the two people in the picture. 


I hope these are interesting for you. 

See you next time!

週1~5 - ECA (英語基礎表現) II (Super A): writing about places (Part 1)

Hello,



How are you? Today, let's look at how to write about places. 

Take a look at the picture above. What is your impression (感想) of this place? Think about it, then imagine a story about this place, and write a paragraph about it.

Do the same with these pictures as well. Imagine stories for each of these places, then write about them:





I hope these are interesting for you. 

See you next time!
