電気通信大学 AWE II: Lifestyles & differences・ライフスタイルの違い

Hello! 

How are you? Let's look a little more at questions of the future, and future lifestyles and ways of living. 

Take a look at the picture of Tokyo above. As you saw in the previous blogpost, while we are all here now, and many of you are living here for your studies here at UEC, can you see living here in the long term? Is life in a big city for you? 

Let's look at the whole idea of lifestyles, and different ways of living our lives. 

Activity

Look at these pictures below and talk - and make some notes - about them. What kinds of lifestyles can you see yourselves having in your future? Which ones attract you? 

Living in a small mobile house 

Living in a home repurposed from another use (such as a shipping container)

Living in a luxury house

Lifestyles can also include things like diet and health routines. For example: 

Eating a vegetarian diet

Doing yoga

See you next time!

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!
