Hey guys! Okay… Here we are on the last week!!!! Can’t wait to meet you all! Today I’m flying to Japan. And as you know, because you had probably been in the same situation, it’s been extremely hard to accomplish the self-study! Many of my friends came to my house to bring some gifts and I had almost no time left because I had to finish up my luggage… I'm posting my week report today because I don't know if I'm going to have enough time until friday... Dear Mr Miyagi and teacher Malcolm, please apologize me for not bring a great report. I’ll try to study during the connection! I want to be as much prepared as I can! Vocabulary: This week I’ve learned 3 words… :/ I’m bringing my lexical book to read during the flight, in order to practice words learned in previous weeks. Reading: I was looking for an interesting news to read… Something easy that would not stress me unnecessarily. So I’ve found this news in the The New York Times website. www.nytimes.com/2015/03/29/travel/getting-to-the-front-of-the-visa-line.html?ref=travel&_r=0What caught my attention was that I did not know that it is difficult to apply for visa to visit Brazil! As a Brazilian and knowing the reality of my country, I thought this visa process as something easy. Another good aspect of this news is that I could get some tips for my next application for visa! Good! Listening: And this week I’ve managed to watch one video which, by the way, is amazing!!!! Seriously, I believe everybody should watch it! www.ted.com/playlists/171/the_most_popular_talks_of_allSince I was a kid, I enjoy learning curiosities about common things in life. I would spend hours wondering about how is go on a dive and discover a completely different world in the oceans. And this video brings a lot of interesting facts and images… Just amazing! Writing: This week I could write 2 quick types!!! I kept the same pace from past weeks. One difference is that now I do not lose my focus off of the theme. See you all in a few daysssss!!! So excited!!!

Hi guys!!!!!!
Vocabulary: I learned 10 words this week.
Reading: This week, I read The New York Times: Zayn Malik Quits One Direction. I'm not crazy 1D's fan but often listen to their music. Also, I have friends who have been to their concert and I have heard story about them. So, it was surprised for me to know this thing. Zayn said " I want to be a normal 22-year-old... " I think he wants to be important his private time. Zayn decided to leave 1D but I'm looking forward to the forthcoming of their concerts and recording new songs.
Listening: I listened Ted talks entitled "The danger of hiding who you are" by Morgana a Bailey. I'm really worry about my university life whether fit or not. But I don't want to change an aspect of my behavior or my appearance. I think it's difficult to be myself. I don't even know myself. When I was young, I struggled to be myself. I want to make lots of friends in this university. So I want to make a choice to reveal a part of myself and talk to many friends!!! I'm looking forward to seeing you. Tomorrow I'm going to enter the dormitory. I'm a little nervous...
Writing: I did only two quick writing. This week, I wrote about 150 at most.

Reading: I'm reading "Skyjack!". The situatin becomes getting wrose. Terrorists killed a innocent man and requestied bringing their brothers who were in prison. The Prime Minister's husband is one of hostages. Terrorists want her to set prisoners free. She allows the request, but a car has prisoners has an traffic accident.

Hello everyone! I can't believe this is the final weekly report!
Vocabulary: I learned 18 words and made example sentence.
Reading: I'm still reading ''The Alchemist'' which was written by Paulo Coelho. The main character, Santiago had a same dream twice about a child takes him to Egypt and said ''If you come here, you'll able to find treasures that is hidden.'' Then he met the woman that can interpret someone's dream. Santiago talked about his dream and she said ''Then you have to go to Egypt''. After that Santiago met the old man. He introduced himself the king of Salem. He left some lessons. He said''Everyone when they are young, knows what their personal legend is. But, as time passes, a force that appears to be negative begins to convince them that it'll be impossible for them to realize their personal legend''. He also said ''Whoever you are or whatever it is that you do, when you really want something, it's because that desire originated in the soul of the universe. And when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.''The next day, Santiago decided to go to Egypt!
Listening: I watched 6 minutes English entitled ''Homesick''. When we're away from home especially in foreign country, we often het homesick. In this program, they introduce some ways to overcome homesickness. First, mordern technology has helped a lot of people to stay in touch with families or friends by using video calling softwere like skype of facetime. Another idea is to meet up with expact communities. Thay way, you can make new friends who speak your language. Last idea is to mix with locals in a new town or city. It's the way to stop feeling so isolates when you're in a defferent places. By the way there was a quiz in this program. They asked us ''What percentage of students typically suffer from homesickness when they start university?'' and answer was 70% of students feel homesick when they begin university. I'm sure that I'll feel homesick when I start living in the dormitory but at the same time I want to enjoy the new situation that will start from tomorrow!
Writing:I did 5 quick writes and worte almost 150 words.
I'm packing my luggage for entering the dormitory. I am extremely nervous but so excited as well! See you tomorrow or in few days guys!

Hi everyone, I'm Nancy.
I can't believe that this is the final report!
vocabulary I learned 25 new words this week.
Listening I watched a TED talks entiteled "What I learned as a kid in jail" by Ismael Nazario. He is a adviser for kids in jail. I thought children are very sensitive so the words are imopirtant "I need you." If nobody needed me, I would be really lonely. The feeling is same for every children in the world. I think it is important that adults believe their children even if there is any trouble.
Reading I am reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. In the story, I love four person who are Charlie's grand parents. When I am reading I feel their love for Charlie. They teach me that love is more precious than money. I can't read their talking without smiling.
Writing I wrote about 170 words this week.
Thank you for your reading.

Hi, I'm Joy. We eventually finished our task. I could enjoy studying English thanks to Mr Miyagi, Malsolom, and of course you guys! Thank you!
Vocabulary: I learned about 70 new words this week. I found one word which was interesting. The word is "discrete". The meaning is " clearly separate. However I learned a word "discreet" before. The meaning is "Careful about what you say or do, so that you don't offend, upset or embarass people or tell secrets. The word is homonym with "discrete". I would like to be careful when listening.
Reading: I read "THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA" this week, too. The main character was running around for her boss. I like the scene when she was carrying foods that her boss ordered. 'I'm doing everything I can', I growled, trying to balance the carrying tray and the bag of baked goods on one arm and hold the phone with yhe order. When I read this sentence, I imagined a scene involved in a carton. It is funny. Also, in chapters I read this week, I found the word "Starbucks". It attracted me and I thought I wanted to read more this story. Like this, there were many actual words in this book, so I was fascinated.
Listening: I listened a TED talk. The title was "The 3 A's of awesome". In this talk, the speaker talked about his life. It started with his parents. They came to Canade when they married. There were many new things for them. Through these stories, he spoke about hapiness of ordinery happenings. For example, one I sympathized the most was that we feel happy when we can stand in the head line nevertheless we lined up at the end at first in a supermarket. I often feel that in my dairy life. Through this talk, I thought I would thank for something I took granted for. At last, he stated 3 A's. They were attitude, awareness, and authenticity.
Writing: I wrote 7 themes. I couldn't write as many words as last week. Since my writing speed is not stable yet, I would like to continue to write the rest themes and improve my writing skill.
Thank you! I want to meet you as soon as possible.

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: War happened between Lilliput and Blefuscu.Lilliput escaped from a difficulty thanks to Gulliver, but there was gradually a crack from the difference in opinion with King of Lilliput between Gulliver.Gulliver decided to escape from Lilliput, and his trip begins from here again.

Listening: I watched a TED Talk entitled "The problem with "trickle-down techonomics”” by Jon Gosier.

Hello!
Vocabulary I memorized 20 words this week. Words like noun, I memorized cards, then put that to the things.
Reading I read Matilda by Roald Dahi. Matilda was brave girl, very polite and people loved her. But her family didn't similar to Matilda. Especially, her father and she didn't like each other. In the school, Matilda was most interegent student. Miss Honey who was her teacher took care to Matilda. Miss Honey had an aunt who was the principal in the Matilda 's school. Her name is Miss Trunchbull. She was feared to students and her niece too. But Matilda was not. She used her musical power and she intimidates miss Triunchipul. Matilda's family moved to foreign country but Matilda didn't want to go. So she asked to her perents that she want to live with Miss Honey. Matilda and Miss Honey lived together. This story is fiction but, I studied that wisdom and grim courage will be the key when people have to face hardships. Listening I listened Voa. The tittle is Overfishing opponent wins Environment Prize. American supporters who are support to prevent overfishing won major environment prize. Miss Lubchenco who was the head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration supported to catch shares. Catch shares means to set maximum levels fishing in the given areas. This program prevent fishermans to catch too many fishes. In my opinion, overfishing is not good for future environment, but fishermans will lose the job. Rapid change will give uncontrol economy. We should have adjustment between environment and economy.
Writing I wrote my parents. My best word count was 125. I wrote my diary in English.It was difficult for me but I will continue to do it!
Thank you for reading!

Hi, everyone! This is my last weekly report. I will leave my home tonight. It takes 10 hours to arrive in Tokyo.
Vocabulary: I learned 40 words. I have memorized the wrong spell of some words. I must pay attention to words spelling.
Reading: The book which I ordered can't be recieved yet. So I couldn't read a book, but I read some news in English. I read the aricle about cancer. Cancer treatment takes many money. Sometimes you should be bankrupted. I think cancer has not only physical difficulty but also financial difficulty. The woman who was diagnosed with cervical cancer said "I think it's obvious that the financial hardship creates an emotional hardship, but it has a lot of layers." I knew hardship of cancer was very deep.
Listening: I listened VOA learning English and watched two movies. One of the program I listened is gadgets, for example smartphones and video games cause painful of neck, arms and sholders. The reason why it causes painful is poor posture. I think I pay attention to right posture when I use gadgets. And I watched ”Maleficent” and "yes man."
Writing: I wrote three quick writes this week. I wrote 120 words on average. I want to write more and more!! But typing is quite difficult for me. I work more hard.
It was time to go to Tokyo. I am very sad that I can't meet my family for a while. But I am very very looking forward to seeing you soon!

Writing: This week I typed quick writes. It was little difficult for me. I typed 129 words about “How my high school is different from other high schools.” I think we can not only study but also other activities with all our strengths. I made efforts to study and drawing and so on in high school. I was helped by a lot of friends, so I could do many activities. When we do something, we need other powers. In my high school, every student are considerate of others and help each other. So we can do a lot of activities. I typed 122 words about “How I have changed from my junior high school days.” I changed my mind about study. I thought study is one of the tools to grow properly, but I think study is for happiness of people all over the world now. I typed 188 words about 2 things I am proud of. One is the art club in high school. I made the best friends and spent happy days with them. And I met the best teacher in my life. Another is my family.

Post by Mikaela on Mar 27, 2015 23:50:10 GMT 9
Hi, I'm Mikaela.
Vocabulary I learned new 50 words and made flash cards this week.
Reading I finished reading “Love Story”. They finally belonged together and get married. But there is a problem between them. Oliver hates his father who is rich and he doesn’t want to be like his father. He broke with him. Jenny doesn’t like his attitude toward his father and tried to convince Oliver to talk with his father. But he didn’t try. But the most serious problem happened. That is Jenny suffered from ill and she would die. After all, she died and Oliver was deeply down. His father heard that and ran to Oliver to help him. They held each other and cried. Oliver remembered Jenny had said “Love means you never have to say you’re sorry.” He realized he was loved from Jenny and his father.
Listening I watched some ted talks. One of them is “How I best stage fright” by Joe Kowan. He sings folk songs playing guitar and doesn’t seem stage fright. When he stand on stage to sing, he’s always nervous and shaking the whole his body and his voice. He couldn’t be used to singing in public in spite of performing many times. But the more he wrote the song, the more he wanted to sing. To get past nervousness, he started to write a song about having stage fright and decided to show the audience that. Although it was strange, he could turn his problem into something that was essential for his success. I was impressed that he changed his weakness into talent. Even if how to deal with it is not cool, it is important to try and work on overcoming.
Writing I worked on 7 quick types and typed about 180 words. In one of the topics, number of the words I wrote is more than 210 words. So I would like to try to keep on doing quick type regularly.
I’ll try to continue this self-study until 1 semester starts. See you in a few days!

Hello!
Here is my last weekly report:
Vocabulary: I made 25 vocabulary cards as usual. Although I've heard and used most of the words I've made vocabulary cards for, this time however I came across a word that I had never heard before; lexical.I am glad and look forward to learning new words as I begin to attend my classes at FILA!
Reading: This week I was in Japan, so I read the only book I had carried with me; 'A Youthful Diary' by Daisaku Ikeda. It was a gift and I have really enjoyed reading the first few chapters. It is a diary penned by Dr. Daisaku Ikeda, from the age of 20 onwards. Not only am I understanding the temperament of the author through the book, I am also learning a lot about the history of Japan, and the prevailing conditions after the Second World War. I have always been intrigued by history, so the book so far has given me powerful insight into the life of a common man, trying to survive in a post-war environment. It seems like a simple diary from its exterior, however the book is surprisingly multi-faceted. It also shows the profound connection between a man and his mentor, a person he has literally devoted his whole life to. At an alarmingly young age, he seems to view the world as it is, with a greater purpose for world peace that sets him apart. Even in the face of great adversity and dire financial straits, he remains unflinchingly calm, assured that it will all subside and that it is his sincere determination will ensure that it is possible. The reason why I have been so mesmerised by the book is because in some sense it's spirit is the same that I am trying to align myself with. Pure grit and perseverance is required in any activity of any kind, and coupled with passion, any task seems attainable. Although this is our last post, I will continue reading the book.
Listening: This week I heard a TED talk called 'How I work to protect women from honour killings' by Khalida Brohi. The speaker is a Pakistani woman who had grown up in a society where honour killings were part of old traditions and cultures. Honour killings are atrocities committed in largely patriarchal families where the male members of the family kill the females in cases where they supposedly bring shame to their families by either marrying out of their religion or to a person not approved by their families or even dressing in a manner not accepted by their society. At the same time, women were wrongly considered unequal to men in society. Traditionally in Islam, men and women were considered to be at par with each other. However, after centuries of misinterpretation, men were considered superior. Living in such a society greatly affected Brohi. In Pakistan, the birth of a girl was affiliated with sadness. Her friends were being exchanged or married off, sometimes even as second wives. She had gotten three marriage proposals by the age of two, and her friend was murdered in an honor killing when she was 16. Such events caused her to take a stand, and through Google and Facebook she connected with people all over the world and gained support to start a 'Wake Up' campaign against honour killings. She conducted rally's and strikes, however a big opposition consisting of members of her community stood up against her. They feared she was spreading western culture and unislamic behaviour, essentially challenging old customs. She was not defeated by the downfall and took another route. This time she decided not to stand against the core values of her people, and at the same time include those women who she had been fighting for. These women were oblivious to her fight and were still affected by the customs. She apologised to the community and instead promoted what her culture was proud of; their music, language and embroidery. She made CDs of their music, books of their stories and set up an embroidery centre to empower the women, and at the same time provide them with lessons regarding their rights and become independent by earning money. Even when the husbands of the women stopped their wives from coming to the centres everyday she was not defeated. She went to the fashion industry in Pakistan and set up her own fashion brand called 'Nomads' that featured clothes embroidered by the tribal women, and since they were now earning and contributed to the families, they men had to allow them to attend. She helped them become local entrepreneurs and empowered them to realise the innate potential they had to become leaders. She is currently supporting over 900 women in 24 villages across Pakistan and continues to branch out. She is an inspiration to many women across the world.
Typing: This week I could only manage 4 quick types. The word count ranged from 370 to 407 words depending on the topic.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to better my English skills and I look forward to our classes!

Hi, I'm Jamie. I am sorry to bother you so late at night:( We are finally starting college life! Of course, I feel anxious, but I'm looking forward to meet you!!
Vocabulary:I learned 50 new words. These words are often used TOEIC. Reading:I read "The Little Gingerbread Man". This story was unexpectedly sad, so I was surprised:0!! Listening:I listened to 5 Ted talks. The speech which I recommend the most is "What if 3D printing was 100x faster?" I felt higher expectations for the future. Writing:I wrote 6 quick writes. Best score is 179 words. I want to keep on trying this way of studying english!
See you!!

I'm Yogi. Nice to meet you. This is my final report.
Vocabulary: I learned 25 words this week. The word grateful is my best word in this week. Reading: I read "Hulk". This is sad story. Hulk has a great pow We as he can destroy many people. So army think that Hulk is useful to defeat enemies. Hulk don't want to kill people. Finally he got away. I learned great power is convenient, but great power is also dangerous. Listening: I listened TED talk which title is "It's our city, let's fix it". This video about many cities and people who are rich and poor. I learned one word "HDI". It's the first time I hear this word. After I watched I searched this word on the internet. This word is important I think. Writing:I did 5 quick writes. I wrote about 140 words.
Thank you!

Hello!! Sorry, usually I am able to post. It has been very difficult trying to find time to study and as well as find decent wifi while in Japan. Again I apologize, but I am here and I have arrived safely.
