1. I think my essay writing skill improved through this class because I could learne how to write essay more than before.
2.I enjoyed your reading class. I had never thought reading class was fun before but I could enjoy discussing with classmates in this class.
3. As I wrote in #1,I feel Icould understand how to write essay.
4.I have to try to speak English positively during the class in next term. Though I tried to speak English in this term too,I sometimes chose speak Japanese because it's easier way to tell my opinion.
1. Maybe writing skill. Because, when I wrote an essay last year at the English writing class, it took very long time. But, now it took less than one hour and I feel it is very fun to write an essay.
2. I love the class which I learned about how the news is making. The teacher used be an announcer in NHK, she taught us how to interview a person and how to take video. One day, NHK producer came our class, and he talked about what we should do to be a TV worker. It was really interesting. It helped me a lot to think abut my future.
3.Well, I think I can make right way of making structure of the essay. Introduction and conclusion that kind of things. When I learned about it in high school, I couldnot understand...But I wrote so many writing staffs from then, I got how I should write.
4.I should say reading. I don't like to read neither Japanese nor English. When I took Toefl, my reading score was less half of my speaking, writing and listening score. I will try to read something.
①I think I could improve my reading skill because I read so many writings in this semester. B efore this semester, I was not good at reading, so the score of the test giving in June was too bad, especially the reading skill was bad!! However, the score in June is better than last one, and the reading score is very good for me. Then, I think I could improve them by the grace of your class! Thank you.
②In this semester, I took "Global Issue" class by C.Prichard. It was so nice class because I can learn the facts of global issues. We learn about food, consumer, urban and NGO issues. There were many thigs I haven't ever known.If he will have like this class again, I wanna take!
③I think this posting the blogs was nice because we could practice writing much times. In usual, we can't have any chance to write English, so I could have more chance by writing this blogs. Moreover, by reading my classmate's blog, I could know their situations. It was good because we could talk about that more after finishing the class.
④In next term, I wanna improve my speaking ability because I can't speak well with foreigners. For example, when I talked to you or Pricard, I couldn't speak English fluently... Then, I always felt shocked. In next term, Yukari Tamasaki will teach us the speaking class. I know her because she taught me last year. Her English is so good! I wanna practice speaking with her more and more!
Thank you for your teaching for one year, from last semester to this one. I can really enjoy these! I hope I could improve my English abilities more and more!!
1.I think my writing skill improved most in this semester, but it is still not enough. I need a bunch of time to write. It is my biggest problem so far. I need to remember vocabularies as many as I can to write faster.
2.I liked the group discussion(being a teacher) most. However, the preparation was hard, I could enjoy the discussion with my classmates. Especially, some questions that each classmate gave were interesting.
3.I can't use any difficult vocabularies, so my writhng is probably "easy to understand" to everybody.
