Farewell Party

Last week, I went to farewell party for exchanged students. I felt one year passed so fast. I met them at English Weekend for the first time. They are good friends, so I am so sad. They gave me a lot of things. They taught me English, their culture, and became friends. However, I needed more time, and I could make better relationship with them. What could I do for them for a year?? I always recieve their kindness.

Now, I can only to say appreciation to them. It is so woeful... but, I'm really really happy because I could meet them. Thank you very much!!

Tests!!!

Today was hard day... because I did three subjects test. I had to memorize many things but all of them were important for me, so I did my best on Saturday and Sunday. I didn't go out from my house for two days...

First, "history of American literature" test was second period. I also had to write report about "Huckleberry Finn" until today. I think my study was not enough. I could memorize author and their novels, but I couldn't learn their characteristics. I was disappointed.

Second was "English linguistic". It was difficult to study. It was take much time. I take notes again what teacher and text book said. I tried to write sentences for the test many times. Then I took the test in fourth period. I could did it better than first one, but I didn't satisfied.

Finally, I took Japanese teacher's seminar test in sixth period. I thought Japanese language from point of foreigner's was difficult, but I could do it best of three.

Today was hard, but my test still continue. I have eight more tests. I couldn't well two tests today, so I have to study harder!!

My First Teaching

Last Monday, I had a Japanese teacher seminer. I did the simulation class. I mean I taught Japanese in the class. It was about thirty minutes class, and I taught to four classmate. Today, I will talk about my first teaching.

First, I will talk about before the class. I had perpared for the class for a long time. I handed out my teaching plan the two weeks before the day. At first, I couldn't image my plan by myself. My teacher gave me some advices for me about the first plan. I improved my plan, and sent e-mail to my teacher again. This time, I created my imageand I could wrote most of idea for the class. However, I thought it was boring. It has too simple and I couldn't make my originality. I met my teacher four days before. I told my opinion, and talked the matter over with her. Then, I made the plan again along with her advices. I increased conversation with student because conversation is good training for learning languages and one-side talking is so borinf for students. Besides, I made a lot of letter cards and picture cards. And then, I drew a few pictures on my own. It took much time. I took for about fifteen hours all of my preparation.

Finally, the day when I had to teach came. I was nervous. I practiced two times before the class, but I didn't thing it was good. Howevver, I imaged the real situation. If I express the tention, the foregin sudents might be confused. Therefotre, I took deep breath, and tried to be calm. When I started to teach, I was almost OK. I could do it smoothly. But, the happning was occured. I skipped a few plans. I had to do more practice, but I cut them. I thought what I should do at the moment, and continue the class, because if I returened the practices, the students would be confused. They could have not understand what they had done.

After that, I made a small mistakes, for example, I missed the pronunciations. I useally speak Owari-ben because I grow up in Aichi prefecture. However, I could finish my first Japanese language class. I was busy, so I thought I couldn't prqactice enough. If I had practiced more, I would have been clam more. I learned that it is difficult to teach Japanese. I need many preparations in order to do good class. I will have one more class in fall semester. Next time, I will do better class than this class.

Lovely Tales(BR 1-15)

This time, I read "American Folk Tales". The reason why I chose this book is I was attracted by this book cover. This is funny, isn't it? This book was written by George Gibson. There are three short American tales. I could read easily. I will talk about it!

First tale is "The legend of Jhonny Appleseed". This title is so funny, but I couldn't understand why George Gibson tiled like this at first. However, I noticed soon. Johnny's real name is John Chapman. He planted apple seeds all over America. He loved tales, animals, and their adventure. He liked people, and everyone liked him even animals. He traveled all over America and helped many people. I was moved by his life.

Second story is "Pecos Bill". Pecos Bill was boy's name. He separated from his family in the forest when he was a baby. However he was raised by coyote in the forest. That mean he spoke animal language, ate food like coyote, walk with his arms and feet, and so on. One day, he was found by a cowboy. He told to Bill that Bill was not coyote but human. Bill was so shocked, but he decided to live as a human. The cowboy traveled with Bill and Bill hoped to be cowboy. In the end, he could be a king of cowboy because he can talked with horses and he have courage more than other people. He thanked his coyote family.

Third is "The Tale of Brer Rabbit and the Tar Baby". This was a battle of wits between a Rabbit and a Fox. Their exchange was so funny. Rabbit always ticked many animals, so the Fox was annoyed. One day he made his mind to revenge to Rabbit. He made a "Tar Baby", it was a strange doll. He put it on the road, and waited for the Rabbit. Rabbit through the road, he spoke to the doll, but of course, it didn't speak anything. The Rabbit got angry, and attacked it. The doll tangled him, and the Rabbit couldn't move anymore. The Fox was happy because his operation succeeded. However, the Rabbit wanted to ran away, so he told the FOx, "Please don't throw me into the briar patch!" . However, in the fact , he wanted to do it because he could ran away. The Fox thought the behave was terrible for the Rabbit, so he did it! As the resalt, theRabbit won the battle.

This book was made for children I think because the tales funny and maybe many children like them! It makes me heart warming, happy, and pleasant. my favorite is first one. He was alive for the others and he could live full of life. Many people were saved by him, and happy, I thought. Besides, this book has many extra pases. I could learn aobut American life in this book. This book has many pictures, colors, diagrams. I could enjoy reading all of this book. For example, about American food, Settels, Foxs, Cowboys, and so on.

I didn't know about America before reading this books. If you are interested in American history, culture, life and so on, you should read this book. I can recomend this book all of my friends!!
