Hi everyone,
We're heading into the home stretch (the "home stretch" is the area between third base and home plate in baseball". This idiom means that you are almost finished something. In this case, we are almost finished out course. American Slang: Since we've finished all of our course requirements, we had a lesson on American slang today. When you use slang, makes sure you are using it in the appropriate context (e.g. who you're speaking with and the type of situation). We learned these verbs: 1. ditch: I'm going ditch class today. 2. hit up: I'll hit you up after class. 3. bomb: I totally bombed my exam. 4. bounce: This party is boring. I'm gonna bounce. 5. hang out: I'm gonna hang out with friends tomorrow. We learned these adjectives: 1. shady: The man in front of the station is really shady. 2. ballin': She's wearing Prada. She must be ballin'. 3. down: I'm down with that. 4. lame: That's so lame. / He's so lame. 5. tight: That idol group is so tight. Discussions: Although your conversational style was a little low today (due to the difficult topics), discussions were up to 27 minutes today!! Also, group leaders include the majority of the discussion skills we've learned this semester, such as vocabulary teaching, checking understanding, agreeing/disagreeing, etc. Great work! Homework: 1. Blog Comment #11 2. Discussion Preparation 3. Journal Topic #9: festival experiences Blog Question #11: Tell me three plans you have this summer vacation.

I would like to tell you about threeplans during this summer vacation. First, I'm going to go to Oxford. I applied for Oxford University summer study. I spend about 3 weeks there and study in Oxford University, therefore, I want to do my best so as not to waste this experience. Second, I plan to go to Atami with my friend. At first, I planed to go to Hakone, however I changed the destination because of the risk of eruption in Hakane. In Atami, I will enjoy a hot spring and watch fireworks. Finally, I have a plan to barbecue with my family. I haven't barbecued with my family for a long time, so I'm really looking forward to this. I have many pleasant plans, therefore, I can't wait for this summer vacation!

I have following three plans for summer vacation. First, I'm going back to my hometown, Nagano, for a week. I can see a lot of my friends and relatives there. In addition, I'm planning to travel to somewhere in Japan for a few days with my brother's girlfriend. In last spring vacation, we were both students, so we could enough time to travel abroad. However, she is currently busy with work because she got a job. Thus, we decided to trip in Japan. The biggest plan is to go to Colorado in America. My father's friends, who have once come to Japan and stayed in my home, live there. I'm going to visit them with my friend. We intend to stay for a week in Colorado. The hot and pleasant summer vacation is coming soon!!

In this summer, I have two plans of the trip. The one is the summer training camp of my circle. We will go to Yamanashi. For 6 days, we play tennis and have a party everyday. The other one is the trip to Nagoya with my friend. Our purpose is to eat Nagoya food. They are, for example, hitsumabushi, misokatsu, tebasaki and so on. Lastly, I'll go back to my hometown, Osaka. I'm planing to play with a lot of my friends. Also, I'll go to dinner with my family. I'm looking forward to playing a lot in this summer.

First of all, I'm going to summer camp of my club. I belong to ESS, and I think that ESS's summer camo is the hardest of any other clubs. The reason why I think so is that all of freshmen have to sat up all night learning 4 skills in order to enter ESS formally. We, sempais also have to sat up all night teaching it. I do not go to camp, but it's obligation. Leave a Reply. |
