Toyo Gakuen University FE4 - Speaking

This week our lesson was about meeting people. Therefore, I have posted a video to help you practice meeting people. This is a video podcast called The Daily English Show. It's done by a teacher from New Zealand. You can subscribe to The Daily English Show through iTunes. The show has four parts: The introduction, Stick News, Conversations with Sarah, and Question/Answer.

You can read the English script by clicking: http://thedailyenglishshow.blogspot.com/2006_04_05_archive.html

You can read the Japanese translation by clicking: http://plaza.rakuten.co.jp/dailyenglish/diary/200604050000/

Your homework is:
Follow the instructions in the third part - Conversations with Sarah.

  1. listen and repeat.
  2. practice the conversation.
  3. When you're finished click comment.
  4. Write a comment about the video.
  5. Sign your comment. Write your class name, your first name, the first letter of your last name, and your seat number.
For example:

Hi Mr. Stout. This homework was interesting and fun.
N05 Toyotaro D. 01


Your homework is due one week from your last class.

If you want you can get more practice on The Toyo Gakuen University English Lounge website, or just come to the English Lounge and have a chat. I'll be there at lunch time.
Enjoy!

    Hello! Mr. stout!
    This homework was very difficult, too.
    Though I do not understand a meaning of homework very much, I write comment about a video.
    Sarah is a very beautiful person!
    The word that I was used to that I called Shizuka Arakawa and Koizumi came out, and there was English conversation and was interesting at all.
    Then it is the next class again!

    Hello. Mr.stout.
    I'm Yuusuke.
    I don't adjust to computer, so I had difficulty for come to here.
    I think that I mistake English.
    Please forgive my poor English.
    Now, about the video.
    I understand video of structure. but I don't understand video of guts.
    I think that video introduces about Sizuka Arakawa.
    I feel that this inroduction is fast for me.
    About listen and repeat.
    I think that captin is good.
    because I can't listen well.
    I think that this kind of homework is very good to adjust English.
