HI, everyone, I'm Joy.
Vocabulary: I learned about 60 new words. I had difficulty in remembering the word "maneuver" because the spell was a bit difficult for me. I took mistakes many times. I would like complete this word by using in conversation and writing.
Listening: I listened a TED talk ehose title was "THe silent drama of photography. The speaker was a photographer. He had taken many pictures. At first, he showed his picrures. They brought me home that it was important to protect our nature. He said that the development of his country caused destroy of forests. I looked at the picture which was the wilderness. When I looked at that, I felt sad. I learned the importance to live with our nature through his speech. At last, he showed two pictures. They were the pictuire that he took before his movement to plant trees and after the movement. The latter was full of trees. It was wonderful. I also would like to protect our nature and leave beautiful forests.
Reading: I bagan to read a book "THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA". I had watched this movie before and it became one of my favorite movies. Hence, I wanted to read this book. I still have read a few chapters, but I introduce about this story. The main character began to work at fashion magazine office. Her boss is so rigid and particular about beauty. The boss always commands her. I thought I wouldn't continue to work if I were she. There are many words about fashion, so it is interesting to read. I'm looking forward to reading the rest. Next week, I would like to write about this story in detail.
Writing: I wrote 7 types. I could write 245 words in one theme. It was my best score. The theme was "Why did you choose the Faculty of Liberal Arts program? Why?" I could write my opinion frankly.
The time we will meet is approaching! I'm looking forward to meeting you. Thank you.

Hi Joy!! I just wanted to make a comment about the vocabulary part, and how you said you had a difficult time remembering the word maneuver. I was thinking about it, and this may sound a bit ridiculous, but maneuver sounds like "man over."
Sometimes when I'm trying to learn a new word, I make stories or phrases that helps me remember them and its meaning. For example: maneuver = "man over" = when the MAN falls OVER there is MOVEMENT.
I don't know if this makes any sense, to you or to anybody who is reading this, but I thought it might help /or show a different perspective.

Good evening!
Vocabulary I learned 25 words. When I memorize each words, I make sentences. This training makes good English studying for me.
Reading I read The World Is Yours to Change by Daisaku Ikeda. This book tells us why peace is important and how to make world better. I was impressed in Mahatma Gandhi's episode. When he was being attacked by a Hindu youth,he said, "Whoever the perpetrator might be, I wish him well." Gandhi hated violence. He always thought that nonviolence is the best way to stop violence. This book has 6 episodes. I will continue to read it!
Listening I listened voa. The tittle is Is the Islamic states truly Islamic? The news said that Islamic state destroyed statues which are not Islamic,this is not new case. Protestants destroyed statues which against Christian in the 16 century. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi claims that Islamic state to be the caliph of the re-established medieval Musulim empire. Jay Sekulow thinks that Islamic claim is real. Islamic state needs reformation,because they believe reformation is enlightenment.
Writing This week I wrote about 60 sentences. My best word count was 110. I will continue to write!
Thank you for reading!

Hello, everyone! I’m Michelle Vocabulary: I learned about 35 new words this week. It is difficult for me to learn the meaning of new words. Reading: Gulliver was grateful for their kindness in giving him food and drink, so he didn’t move. After some time, the king of Lilliput had decided he would stay in it. He would be kept alive. Food and drink would be brought to him every day from all the villages, six hundred people would be his servants, three hundred men would make me a new suit, and six teachers would teach him their language. I thought the people in Lilliput think he is very fear, because he is huger than them. And I thought they attack him. However, it was wrong. I read to here and want to read about a continuance. Listening: I watched a TED Talk entitled "Why I make robots the size of a grain of rice” by Sarah Bergbreiter. She thinks we can imagine all the cool things that we could do with robots that can run and crawl and jump and roll at this size scale. She said “Imagine he rubble that we get after a natural disaster like an earthquake. Imagine these small robots running through that rubble to look for survivors.” We've made some advances so far, but there's still a long way to go. However, I hope we can make those robots, which are to be wonderful things for us in the future. Writing: I did 7 quick writes this week 1 every day. I could write about 120 words. Thank you

Listening: I watched TEDtalks entitled "The courage to tell a hidden story"by Eman Mohammed.When she was 19 years old,she became the first female photojournalist in the Gaza Strip,Palestina.But perception of women in Gaza is passive, so she was insulted by people, and also phto agencies in Gaza refused to train her because of her gander. Neverderless, she keeps taking photoes to make use of her work.she said,"My work is not meant to hide the scars of war, but to show the full frame unseen stories of Gazan." I hope she keeps taking pictures not to be insulted by men. Writing: I did 4 quick writes this week. Recently I try to talk daily of the day by myself for 10 minutes.

Weekly Report Vocabulary: I learned 20 words this week.
Reading: I’m reading “Flowers for Algernon”. Charlie leaned comma. He, used, it, very, much, like, this, sentence. I think it is important to use what I leaned. I can remember what I learned by using it. I’ll use the words I learned in this pre-enrollment program.
Listening:I watched TED talks entitled “The small and surprisingly dangerous detail the police track about you”, by Catherine Crump. She said that police has a lot of information about each of us. They know where we are going. She said,” History has shown that once the police have massive quantities of data, tracking the movements of innocent people, it gets abused, maybe for blackmail, maybe for political advantage, or maybe for simple voyeurism.”I think so, too.
Writing: I did 3 Quick Writes this week. The best score was 160 words.

Hi everyone! I am Malia. I had graduated from high school last Monday. This week passed very fast because I was busy with preparing for living in Tokyo. So, please permit me not to study. I'm very sorry.
Vocabulary: I learned 10 words this week. I was surprised at difference of these meaning, "product" and "production". I thoght the word "product" was verb and the word "production" was noun. But it is a mistake. These two are noun both "product" and "production."
Reading: I'm sorry I couldn't read books.
Listening: I listened to VOA learning English. I recommend the program "What causes jet lag and how to avoid it" for everyone because we will face to this problem sooner or later. This information is very useful for us. According to this program, jet lag strongly relate with our biological clock. A mechanism of jet lag is difficult and I can't understand clearly. Maybe light and neroun So I teach you how to avoid jet lag. According to this program, there are 5 things to avoid it. 1, Try changing your meal and sleep time before you go. Several day before you travel, your meal and sleep time close to the time on your trip. 2, Start malking small changes while in flight. For instance, changing your watch. This is trick on your mind. 3, Arrive early. This meaning is just as it is. 4, Drink a lot of water before, during and after your flight. But avoid to drink alcohol or caffeine before you plan to sleep. 5, Move around. This meaning is also just as it is. I attempt to watch movies in English. I watched "Howl's moving castle" and "The king's speech." Watching movie in English is hard for me. I repeat watching same scene over and over; otherwise I can't understand. But I enjoy it!
Writing: I wrote 3 quick wites this weel. I started to type quick writes. I don't accustom to do yet. My this week average was about 140 words.
I forcused on listening very much this week. I will study good balance, vocabulary, reading, listening and writing. Next weekly report is the last. I work hard for writing good repor next week.
Malia

Post by Isabella on Mar 20, 2015 23:16:25 GMT 9
Good evening everyone!
Vocabulary:I learned 13 new words this week.
Reading:I'm reading the book called ''The Alchemist''. It was written by Paulo Coelho. The books he wrote had been sold in 168 countries and translated in to 73 languages! Anyway I'll talk about the story. The main character's name is Santiago. He is a shepherd and traveling all over the world. At first his parents wanted him to become a priest. But as he gets older, knowing the world become more important to him than knowing God and more. Then he talked about what he wants to do to his fater and his father said''The only ones who travel are the shepherds'' so he decided to become a shepherd. One day, when he went to the merchant's shop to sell some wool, he met the girl. She was the merchant's daughter. Since he met the girl, he was feeling something he had never experienced before... I've read by here. I'll keep reading this book.
Listening:I listened 6minutes English entitled ''How quickly can you learn English?''. According to the trainer in speaking English, the most important thing to be good at English is to have a good range of vocabulary and grammer because the more words and grammer you know the more you can explain yourself. However pronounciation is not so important. You don't have to try to speak like a native speaker. Futhermore some experts say it's common for children under 11 years old to be very fluent in English in about six months!
Writing: I did 4 quick writes and wrote about 150 words this week.
Thank you

Hi,everyone! This is my weekly report.
Vocabulary I learned new 50words this week.
Reading I’m reading a book called “Love Story”. This is Oliver and Jenny’s story and they fell in love. I read from chapter1 to chapter3. Oliver loves Jenny, but she isn’t interested in him and hates his character. Their love is not still developing. I’ll keeping on reading next chapter.
Listening I watched a ted talk which is “How autism freed me to be myself by Rosie King” She is autistic and she claimed that people tend to fit themselves into “a little box” with a label that “I am normal” and “I am not extraordinary”. Being autistic makes her be herself. She loves herself and her sister and brother who are also autistic. Even if people associate them with being different, she doesn’t care about that. Her speech was really moving.
And I watched “For more tolerance, we need more… tourism?” by Azu Abu Sarah. He has been dedicating building relationship between people who are opposing each other and telling tourism changes the world. When he was a boy, he lost his older brother because his brother was arrested and beaten and killed by Jewish. All he wanted was revenge to Jewish. But that changed when he met a Jewish. They shared loving country music. Although that is small, that is connecting with each other and creating friendship.
Writing I did 7 quick types and wrote 180 words this week.

Hello everyone! I’m happy for finding effective way of speaking English !! Do you practice speaking English? Vocabulary: I’m learned 176 words this week. It’s hard to learn words, but I could read long sentences little by little. Reading: I’m reading “Skyjack!” by Tim Vicary. I really recommend you to read it! It’s so exciting! I found a hijacker’s purpose. It was liberation their members who were in jail. They killed a passenger because Prime Minister of this country didn’t bring their members from a jail. They declared killing other passengers if Prime Minister continued ignoring their request. They were vicious indeed, I thought, but I laughed reading it at once. Harald and Carl were passengers. Harald took Carl’s passport and poured coffee onto it. I confused. Why did he it? Next, Harald ate Carl’s passport! What’s the matter!? I couldn’t understand him behavior. Harald ate it in 10 minutes. It was bizarre because there were some hijackers. Listening: I watched some TED movies, I especially could be exited “Why the buildings of the future will be shaped by…you” by Marc Kushner. He introduced about the last 30 years of architectural history. He said architecture works on the principle of a pendulum. 70’s architectures were new technologies and typologies, but 80’s them backed to old-fashion like ancient Geek architectures because people didn’t like the newest them in 70’s. However, recently, architects and clients connect through Internet, for example Facebook and Instagram, so architects can make buildings which have many opinions. Writing: I did 4 writes this week. I wrote 150 words on average. I want to reach 200 words, but I have never written.

Hello, everyone! I'm sorry that I send my report an hour later.
Vocabulary: I learned 20 words this week. One of the words I learned this week, "defense", has made me confused because I don't watch any sport. In sports, there are "defense" and " offense." I don't use these words, so I think they are distinguishable. But I know their meanings this week.
Reading: I continued to read "Because of Winn-Dixie." The hero is taught about his mother by his father, the preacher. The preacher told him 10 things about his wife. She likes funny things, and know a lot of constellation, and love her son and so on. But she doesn't like to be a preacher's wife. I think she likes being free. A preacher's wife has to behave seriously. I don't hate to be live seriously, but she want to live like a girl, I think. The hero remembered 10 things because he want to see his mother. I'm looking forward to reading their encounter.
Listening: I watched "The courage to tell hidden story" by Eman Mohammed. She is a photographer. In Gaza she is the first woman photographer in Gaza. Women has no power not only in Gaza but also all over the world. She was criticized and threatened by her colleagues. But she found her own mission as a woman. She can enter places which refuse men, so she can take photos of women's lives. At one time, I thought what is equality of the sexes. There are many differences between men and women. But I'll say that equity of the sexes is that all humans can find their missions and do them. And I listened the CD attached the text "Sokudoku Eitango." This book were distributed all students in my school. TED is a little difficult for me. So I remind my original intention and I learned this CD.
Writing: I wrote 3 quick writes this week. I wrote 111 words about Volunteering. I think volunteering is one of the actions we can expressions of kindness. We have to not only hope but also act. I wrote 162 words about my experience with my best friend. I graduated from high school on March 16th. That day I talked with my friend. We realized that we had hidden our hearts each other. We could have gotten ourself away. Our relationship got better. I wrote 135 words about my scary experience. But I don't often fear. I've never been in any traffic accident. I like insects. If I had to compare them, I'd say that I fear ghosts. I don't believe in them. I fear scary things made artificially. I don't like horror movies. But I watched a horror movie with my friends. The fact that it was fiction made me frightened. I don't understand why human make things to make others frightened.

Hi! I'm Yogi. This is my weekly report.
Vocabulary: I learned 20 new words this week. The word " swear " is my favorite word this week. Reading: Sorry I had forgotten borrowing a book. But I read some English articles. Next week, I will go library. Listening: I watched a TED Talk entitled "How we found the worst place to park in New York City". The speaker speaked very fast. So I couldn't hear enough. This video is about New York's geographical features. I learned standard of rushing in New York. This video said if average of car's speed were high, it would vacant. But if average of car's speed were slow, it would be crowed. I think this thought is useful in America, not useful in Japan. Because America is much larger than Japan. Writing: I did 4 quick writes this week. I could write about 130 words. Thank you!
