Hi Martha, Welcome to the FILA message board. Good job making your first post! I've never played soft tennis before. Are the rules different? Do you like to watch tennis on TV? Have you watched Nishikori? What is your favorite book? What is your favorite comic book series? We have several One Direction fans on the message board. Please read your classmates posts and comment on them. Thanks. Sincerely, Miyagi H

Hi Martha, I know a man named Steve who never had a chance to finish college but he wanted to change the world like you and he did. Do you know his story? When there is a will there is a way! The problem is often we don't know how to change the world. How do you want to change the world?

Hi! Everyone! Vocabulary I learned 30words this week. There was many what I didn't understand though I had looked.
Reading The book I'm reading is colled "Half Magic" by Edward Eager. This is a story of three sisters and one brother. I did not understand it very much. So I'll do my best more!

Hi everyone,
I am Rita. I'm 25 years old and I'm from India.
I have been working as a public relations consultant for the last four years in India. We do not have Soka schools or colleges yet in India but I do hope to see them mushrooming here soon. I love reading news and books. One of my all time favorite books is Matilda by Roald Dahl.
I got to know about FILA during an orientation programme of Soka University Japan in India. I felt that I wanted to re-start my education once again.
I'm very excited to meet you all this spring.
See you soon!

Hi!Everyone. I'm sorry for dalaying email. Because of I was very busy and I was ill conditioned this week.
Vocabulary: I larned about 15 words and I reviewed the English words that I learned so far.
Listening: I listened to "CNN Eniglish express" which is a magazine. A manuscript of the news appears in it. That was written for Japanese who is studying English. So there was many explanation. I was surpraised a story which entitle is "11-year-old Straight-A College Graduate". I am envious of genios so I was shocked that genioses are not happiness all of them.
Writing: I wrote 4 sentenses this week. I increased to 121 words from 79 words and mistakes of the grammar discreased.
Reading: I still read "Harf magic". I read about 25pages this week. I am confusing to change book because my friends borrow me some English books. But I also think I don't never give up to finish reading the book.
I am not good at using English so I want to stady English hard. But I want to do my best for graduation too. For the moment, I have to do my best not to say complaiants.

Hi Martha!
This is Malcolm, one of the FILA English teachers.
I hope you are recovering and will be back to peak health soon.
Good work with the vocabulary. Try using the new words that you learn each week when you write posts on this board or any time you speak or write in daily life. It may seem strange at first, but it does help you remember them. Maybe you have heard the phrase, "Use it or lose it." Using the words regularly with help you to remember them and keep them in your long-term memory. Then you can say with certainty that you have learned them.
Being a genius would definitely have its drawbacks. I can't imagine that he/she has had much of a childhood. What is he/she going to do now? He/She can't get a job. And what about friends? I think I would rather be average and have to work hard to learn. How about you?
Glad you are seeing increases in your writing speed. Don't worry about the grammar in the Quick Writes. They are about quantity not quality. Little by little!
This reading exercise is supposed to be enjoyable. If you find the book too difficult or you don't like the book; it is OK to change. You don't have to suffer through till the end.
We want you to do your best for graduation too. Study English as you have time.
Keep up the good work and take care of your health.
Malcolm

I am glad I achived it this week. Score of this week is 76,89,68,88and 94. It didn't become well. But, I continue to wrote over ten minute this week. Then I couldn't finish writing it to the last.
