Ayumi likes shopping street because she can communicate with town peopl, so she doesn't agree with building the depertment store. However Gyatsby thinksdepertment store is boring.Kaori thinks that even if the new depertment store are constructed, many shops of shopping street will not keep present state. However Ayumi doesn't agree with Kaori's opinion.In addition, Shoko said that people live in near shoping street area, it is hard to come new depertment store, so constructing new shopping center will be no effect on the shopping street. And Gatsby wants them to think his nationality. He is Indian, so if he will become no regular work, it is hard for him to get a new job. That's why consensus was that they will not construct the depertment store and they will make new shopping street. And Gatsby willopen his new book store there.

The topic of the discussion was the disposal of pets.
There were 5 panelists; Mariko, Chiaki, Inukai, Tomie, and Natsuko. Mariko is housewife and she has two children. She agree with killing pets. Chiaki is a university student, and she disagrees with the disposal of pets. Inukai works at public health center, so her job is killing many dogs and cats at work. But she doesn't want to kil them. Tomie has a dog. One day her dog left her house and her dog was almost killed, but he didn't be killed. Then she felt scary, so she wants to not killing the pets. Natsuko agree with killing dogs and cats.
Some people said they didn't want to kill them. Inukai is always said a claim because she has to kill them at work, but in fact, she doesn't want to do such things. However Chiaki said when she walked at a park, the dog came by her, then she felt scary, so she wants to kill them. She might think it is better killing pets than being wounded herself. But Natsuko thought they could find another way to solve the problem. She suggested that they find foster parents. In addition, Tomie said they could call for volunteers of health center staff. Inukai said what they can do is asking the owner to keep their pets have their baby, and the owner have to have their responsibility to raise them.
I thought these positive idea is very important, but I thought it would be impossible not to kill the pets because of there are a number of them in our town. Inukai said 100 pets is killed a day. I surprised at the number of the pets killed in a day.
From the above the consensus was that we should operate them not to be able to make their babies. Maybe that takes a lot of time to reduce the number of disposal of the pets, but we gradually have to make our life comfortably by doing that.

She disagrees with making hot springs.
They worried about the safety and the number of people who move out from hot springs spot. Dissenting opinion was that they thought they don't need to move their hometown. On the other hand, consenting opinion was that the hot springs sources available.
I thought both opinion is reasonable, but I thought they might have made the hot springs, because it is good not only the people who lives in the town but also the people who lives another places.
The consensus was that they will make the hot springs when Tatsuo will be died.

Statement of topic was to improve bird's problems.
There were 5 panelists; Toshiyuki, Kiku, Yuri, and Eriko. Toshiyuki likes bird watching, and he disagrees with setting machines to reduce the number of birds. He thinks people cut down threes, so birds can't live there. That's why there are a lot of birds in thins town. Kiku is 17 years old, and she agree with that opinion. Etsuko is years old and has 2 sons. She agree with that opinion, because she thinks the smell of birds is very bird and she concerned about her children's health. Yuri is university student. She thinks that it is difficult to clean the town every day. She works at downtown until midnight. She is surprised at sounds of birds, so she think people can't sleep well. Yasuo has a lot of pets. And many birds eat vegetables and feeds.
I think the outcome of the disscussion is clear because they came to a good conclution. In my opinion, Haruna played a key role in this disscussion. If they had explained that topic at first, the disscussion would be better.

reflection of my presentation

     Many people write my slides of presentation is so colorful, so they can enjoy seeing and listening my presentation. But some people say it is too colorful for them. And some people write it is hard to see geography of South Africa, so I thought I should have used more simple geography.

after class reflection

     I didn't gave a presentation. I thought everyone made a unique presentation, so I enjoyed them. Some people make it about South Africa. I made South Africa's one, too. But they reserch in detail.
      When I made my presentation, I knew the mean of national frag for the first time. So I was enjoyed making it.

13: Super dog

The "Dog of the Year Show" was on television. (p.1)

 
   This story was interesting, because I like the animal's story. There is a dog. He name is Floppy. He did various things, for example, playing, ding mischief, chasing a bag snatching, and helping elderly people. I think he is clever and curious.

Tomei's class

     I described my best friend. She has a bob hair and her good points is kind, funny, and optimistic. I met her in high school. In this class, I thought that finding my friends' good points is good. I felt being happy then.

Tomei's class

     I did the Bingo game. First, Mr. Tomei described certain creature's feature. Then, we put down the creature's number in the box.  That was interesting.

Tomei's class

      I wrote in the class about my family. I described my uncle. His appearance is little fat and personality is very kind. He is very good person and I like him very much. Else, I heard about my friends' relatives. It was difficult for me to describe the person's character and personality.

Tomei's class

     We had a class that drew compound pictures about vegetables and fruits. I drew 'stroccoli', which means strawberry and broccoli. That picture's good point is funny looking and bad point is maybe bad taste. I was excited this class.

My goal

     In the distant feature, I'll become a junior high school English teacher. Why I want be  the teacher, first of all, I like children and English. And I respect all of my teachers. Especially I was influenced by a teacher when I was a junior high school. I think teacher is very hard, but I think it is a rewarding job.
     In the near feature, I want to be able to communicate with other country's people well. I'm going to go to England this summer, so I will study daily English conversation and I want to make a lot of friends.

     Ai works at restaurant. She did internship last summer, and she worked with a local legislator. She had a good experience there, and learned many things. The local legislator took her various places and some companies. She had a chance to talk with the head of a firm. She learned that it is important to have relationships to people so as to be known by many people. That will lead to succeed us. Moreover she learned that when we do something, we should do different things from other people. For example, if we make our card, we should make curious cards. We can illustrate or paint, and that can impress people our character.
I learned many things by her. And I thought if she speaks more loudly, her presentation will be good. But the contents of her presentation was good.


     Kazuyo wants to be a English teacher. She majors in English for 4 years, so she likes speaking and writing English. She thinks our life will become fuller by studying English. Moreover she loves children because she think that the children have the energy so they encourage her. In fact, she works a cram school, and she feels satisfying. She says if the students don't understand English, she never gives up. So her job helps her dream.
     I thought her efforts are great. If we have a dream, we should make effort like her. I thought her presentation was good,


     Iyo works at a cake shop. She had a lot of experience there. A shop manager is strict person, so she thinks her job is hard. In her opinion, the most important thing about the job is our working environment. We need to the working place that we can relax.
     I agree with her opinion. I feel good about the working place now, but I hated it when I　worked another shop. If the environment is not so good, we couldn't continue to work. I want to hear her idea more detail, but I like her way of thinking.

12: Rescue!

Whilf had a bubble kit. He and Biff were blowing bubbles.(p.1)

     It was easy for me to read and understand this story, so I was interesting. When they were blowing bubbles, suddenly the magic key began to grow, and they were took to a flat rocky place. They met a Prince of Aisha and she had to find her sister and get to her sister away safety, so they started to help her sister. There were something to hard, but they managed to found her sister and got free. At last, they met her country's people, and they were helped by the people. That was an exciting adventure for them.

Mai Ikematsu describe

We can see two people. There is a man at the right side and a woman at the left side in my picture. A man puts on a black suit and gray tie. She puts on a red dress and pierced-earrings like the diamond. Their hair style looks formal. And the woman holds him with her both arms from his back. And I think they are 35years old.

The quest

"I'm writing a story about a quest," said Wilma. (p.1)

     This book was interesting because there were various situation in the story.

     Two children wrote a story about quest. Whilma told Biff  about her story. This story was very fancy. Then her father came into Biff's room. Biff and Chip had to go to the dentist for a cheek-up. After Biff had gone, Whilma picked up her pen and began to write her story about the quest. Suddenry, the magic key began to glow, and Whilma was taken into a magic adventure. Various things happend around Whilma. Then Biff came back, Whilma turned real life.

What is success?

1. What is success for you?

     In my opinion, success is to achieve my goal by my effort. Making effort is the most important to achieve the goals. If we ask for help to someone, that would not be good experience. To achieve our goal, we need to accept the other’s idea, I think.

2. Do you like competition?

     No, I don’t. But I think competition is important because we can develop our possibility. In general, Japanese people don’t prefer to competition, so a lot of people tend to have same ideas. I think it is not good.

3. What kind of people succeeds?

     I think that person who has positive idea can succeed. It is very good for us. We tend to action as we think, so I think we always should have a positive idea.

4. What is the key to success for you?

     The key to success for me is to make efforts and to thank people around me.

     Atsuko thinks that it is important to make efforts by ourselves. She thinks we shouldn't rely on our friends too much. I want her to speak more loud voice, and her presentation will be better. I think her contents of speaking is very good thing.

     Sakurako thinks nobody knows what is success because success means our whole life. However in a narrow meaning, it is our conditions, for example, people feel being happy. Moreover she doesn't think having much money can connect directly assuring success. I think her presentation was little short, so if she thinks more her idea in detail, it will be better. I like her way to think that money is NOT the most important thing.

     Shino thinks that no rule can't succeed because rule based on our moral sense. I think her idea doesn't  little make sense. It was hard for me to understand. And when she talks English she stammers, so if she practices speaking, her presentation becomes to easy to listen. I think her idea is different from other people's one, so I want to think another point of view like her.

     Ayamasa thinks that what he wants to be in the future is important. His success is to enjoy his whole life. I like his way of thinking. His idea is very positive, but I think I want him to think more in detail. I want to know his idea more.

     Yuki thinks that she thinks enjoying her university life is important. She thinks enjoying something can connect being happy. I like her idea, but I want her to think her idea more in detail. 

Survival adventure

     Wilf took a tent round to Chip's house. (p.1)

     This book's story was very fancy, so it was interesting.

     Children tried to do camping aound thier house. Bur while they were in the tend, suddenly the magic key began to glow. The children were pulled into a new adventure. The situation was like dokodemo-door, so it was intersting! They did camping in the another world. They cought a fish and made a fire, and put up the tent. Then they ate a fish. They enjoed camping.

The photograph

"On Monday and Tuesday next week we are going to have lessons in the Hall," said Mrs Patel. (p.1)

     This story was interesting. This book's story was peculiar because when William saw the old picture, he went to the age across time and space. He attend a class in old age, and he took picture there. After he tuned back this age, he could see that there was him in the old picture!

The lady in the lake

     This story is the murder story. There are a lot of characters in this story.

     Private detective Marlow was asked for looking for the wife of Derace Kingsley. However hard Marlowe looked for, various affairs happened, so he was difficult to solve a problem. But he was clever and had tenacity, and he talked a lot of people, eventually he solved the problem.

     It was little hard for me to read this book, because this book's story was long. But it was interesting.

William and the pied piper

"This evening, said Mrs Patel, "We are going to put on our play again.(p.1)






     This book was very interesting because this story is fancy. William and Hamid found themselves in a strange place, and there were a man who has magic pipe. As soon as the man began to play a strange but beautiful tune, rats ran out of all the houses. Around the man, various things happened.

The emergency

                   William and Hamid were in the park.(p.1)

 

This book was interesting. It was very nice story.

In the end, they had to run all the way to Hamid's shop. Then their grand mother got better. One day on the way of getting home, they had seen certain two men fired public phone. The men were in the public phone box. Suddenly William and Hamid's dog putting a dog on a very long leash and the dog rushed around the telephone box. Finally they couldn't go out of the telephone box, and were arrested.

jeff's class

     I think men and women can become best friend. In my opinion, men and women sometimes argue, but it is natural thing. Having a different idea is important. We get along with each other by saying our idea.
     Kazuyo thinks men and women can be close friend. Sometimes it is difficult for woman to understand men's idea, but we can be best friend.
     Natsumi thinks that men and women can be best friend because if we have a different idea and we conflict each other, it is natural for her to have different idea.
     Atsuko thinks that men and women can be best friends because, in fact, her mother has a best friend of man.
     Hitomi thinks that men and women can be best friend because sympathy is not necessary for us. She thinks everyone has a different idea.

The people who lived in the island are very kind. Wilf and Wilma wore the costume that Grandmother had made them. They were excited when they saw many people in their island's costume. They danced merrily. But, suddenly it began to pour with rain. And the wind had begun to blow and the sky had turned a deep grey. The next day, the storm hit the island. As soon as the storm was over, everyone went outside to see the damage. Some of the houses were wrecked and some boats had been swept on to the beach. Every one set to work to clean up the mess.

e3Mai

 Hello! I’m Mai I. I’m a university student and major in English literature. I’m 19years old. My birthday is 5th November. My family consists of 5 people, my father, my mother, brother, and my sister.

My personality is cheerful, not shy, and optimistic. So, I am not good at speaking

English, but want to try to communicate with you. I am very talkative. I want to talk a lot with you. I hope I will get along with you.

I love sports; basketball, soccer, badminton, etc. I love a lot of kind of sports. I belong to the badminton club at my university. My badminton club’s friends are very good persons. I want to tell you about my friends and I want you to know about my university life.

I also love shopping and eating! I want to buy something from your country and eat foods that are specific to your country. I would like you to tell me your country’s famous things and foods. I want to go shopping with you.

My goal is to be a junior high school English teacher, because, first of all, I like English and children. Then, I respect all of my teachers. I was influenced by them, so I want to be a teacher since I was a junior high school student. If I become a junior high school

English teacher, I want change way we teach English. In Japan, English class is low level, so students don’t study practical English. Many of students study English for entering high school or university. I think there are a lot of people who don’t like studying English. That’s why I will become a junior high school English teacher, I want teach students the fun of English. If the English I speak is wrong, please tell me the correct to say it.

Those are the things that introduce me.

cosmetic surgery

Atsuko talked about dangerous of cosmetic surgery. I thought that it was interesting when she said that there are the people who get cosmetic surgery so many times, which called surgiholic.

Sakurako talked about disagree opinion. I thought that it was interesting when she said that cosmetic surgery caused serious problem and many parents don't like it. Moreover doctors don't do after care.

Saori talked about risk of cosmetic surgery. I thought that it was interesting when she said that the person who gets cosmetic surgery has a risk of fail to get cosmetic surgery.

Shino talked about disagree opinion. I thought that it was interesting when she said that if we are not attractive in childhood, the possibility of accepting domestic violence.



I think it is important to have my opinion about something for the sake of doing presentation. Having my opinion is most important thing to explain what I think. If I don't have my opinion, I can't explain what I think logically. Moreover it is necessary that we speak loud voice and look at persons' face. These are the things that get good at doing presentation.

my favorite animal

　　　　　My favorite anamail is Koara because they are so cute. When I was a junior high school student, I went to Australia. And there Iwent to zoo, and I saw and touched them. I thought a coat of hair was not beautiful. But their sleeping face is very cute. I took a picture with them, but they never got up. Someday I want to see them wake up.

my tresures

My treasures are all my experiences. I have had a lot of experience in my life.
Especially I have three big experiences.
First, the experience that influenced my way of thinking was that I played basketball
when I was in junior high school. When I was a junior high school student, I was not
good at communicating with anyone. However my basketball’s coach taught me the
importance of communication with my teammates. Thanks to him, I learned to get
along with my teammate. So I respected him. Experience shows that to reveal what I
am thinking is important.
Second, the experience when I learned to have an international point of view is when I
went abroad. When I was a high school student, I went to Australia. I did a home stay
for three weeks. I had a lot of experiences there. I felt Japanese don’t show their opinion.
For example, when I was told my host mother to eat three sandwiches, I said “yes”
although I didn’t feel I wanted to eat that much. I learned that telling my feelings is
important in other countries. I spent a short time there, but I got along with my host
family and my school friends.
Third, my university life is a precious experience. Since I entered my university, my
everyday life has been happy. Thanks to my friends, I am always convulsed with
laughter. I’m lucky that I’ve had very good friends and teachers. I want to share a lot of
experiences with my friends, and know about them more. I belong to the badminton
club, so I want to enjoy the activity of the club.
These experiences are the precious things; to play basketball, to go abroad, and my
university life. These are my treasures that especially I want to tell you.

Pocket Money

    One day Dad had a big piece of paper, which is written that three children's name and list of jobs. Dad proposed his children that if they do hte jobs without fuss, they get extra pocket money. However, they

didn't want to do the jobs willingly.

     The next day, they went on a family outing to the beach, and where Biff found a fossil. Then she wanted to the fossil at the shop near the sea, but it wa very expensive for her. That's why she dicieded to do the house woke for money. She worked almost housework on her own, but her Dad said "I'm afraid I didn't recognize her hard work because the idea is that we share the jobs. So she was upset when they went to the beach the nezt day.

     On that day, a camera team was doing a fashion shoot. Then the children and Mum went to the littel rocky cove, and found a camera. The photographers must have left it behind! So, they tried to get the camera, and pssed it to the photorgapher.he took the picture of the family and gave somemoney for Biff. But she couldn't take the money, because she thought "I'm not sure what I would have done." Her Dat and Mum smiled at her and they gave their children some extra pocket money. So Biff bought the fossil she wanted.
