Hi everyone,
Wow! Can you believe this is our fourth lesson already! One month has already passed! I hope everyone is enjoying the semester. Speed Discussion: At the beginning of our lesson, we had our speed discussion activity. Today's new vocabulary included: a. capital punishment / death penalty (n) b. hanging (n) / hang (v) c. victim (n) d. bi-racial (adj) e. sports day (n) f. phubbing (n) / phubb (v) Vocabulary Teaching: We had a short activity to review how to teach vocabulary. When you don't know a word, you can ask these two questions: 1. What does this mean in English / Japanese? 2. How do you say ... in English / Japanese? When you teach vocabulary, remember to teach your group both the Japanese and English meanings. Opinion Presentations: Although three presenters didn't come to class, I was really impressed how today's presenters gave their presentations and led their discussions with five members in their groups. Everyone prepared, and knew their topic well and didn't need their worksheets. During your discussions, many of you nod your head up and down to show interest. This is normal in Japanese conversational style. In Anglo-Saxon conversation style, you need to verbalise (=say something) to show interest. You can use these expressions: a. I see / Uh-huh / Mmm-mm b. Really? / Are you serious? / No way! Homework:
Blog Question #4: When you were a child, what was your dream? Has your dream changed? (If yes, what is your dream now?) * Write 12-15 sentences. * Use capital letters, punctuation and spelling correctly. * Submit by Wed., Oct. 14 by 6:00pm.

When I was a child, I wanted to be a dressmaker. My grandmother was dressmaker. When I was young, I went to her shop and helped her to sell clothes. It’s very pleasant for me. When I saw her who made and sold clothes, I thought that she was so cool. I thought that I wanted to be like her. However, I changed my dream now. It’s because I have diverse interests. For example, I interested in sports, psychology and volunteer activity. I don’t know still my job which I become in the future. Therefore, I can’t decide my dream now. However, I think that I want to find dream which becomes me in the university.

When I was a child I had a dream to become a professional baseball player. I loved baseball when I was a child. I often watched a baseball game on TV at home. Also I sometimes went to stadium to watch a baseball game with my father. However I gave up my dream when I became a junior high school student. Because I understood that I can't become a professional baseball player with my ability. And then I decided to be a high school teacher. Because if I become a teacher I can teach baseball as a teacher of club activities. So I have a dream to be a high school teacher now. I want to be an English teacher. It is difficult to come true my dream. So I want to make a big effort to come true my dream.

When I was a child, I wanted to become a picture book writer. I liked drawing in old days. I did drawing with a friend every day for the lunch break. In addition, I liked reading a book. Therefore I longed for the work called this picture book writer who used two things. I still long for the work. However, I do not read a book and do drawing recently. Therefore it is difficult to already become a picture book writer. I study pedagogy now and I am interested in a kindergartner. However, I want to do other work. I have time for around one and a half years. Therefore I wanted to look for the dream that I wanted to grant most between remaining college lives.

When I was a child, I wanted to be a calligraphy teacher. I have studied calligraphy since I was an elementary school student. At first, I didn't like it so much because it was difficult for me to write with writing brash. However as I had a higher grade, I came to enjoy it little by little. After I noticed the interesting, I was drawn to being a calligraphy teacher. Because I thought that I whould like to have a lot of people know about the interesting of calligraphy. But when I was in the third grade at junior high school, I quited studying it. So I also gave up the dream. Now, I'm interested in a lot of jobs such as a counselor, a public employee, a journalist and so on. However I don't decide clearly. So I try to inquire into these jobs in detail. And I want to think seriously about my future job while I'm an university student.

When I was elementary school student, I want to caretaker of penguins. Because I liked zoo and penguins very much. But I think that penguins smell bad, and it is hard to take care of penguins.

I heard that I said to my parents “I want to be a dog.” when I was three years old because I really wanted to have a dog. Next, I wanted to become a vet when I was in a kindergarten. Because I love animals and I thought doctors are cool. I had many dreams when I was an elementary school student. For example, a fashion designer, a singer, an illustrator etc. I wrote that “I want to run a dog-friendly café.” in a graduation texts collection. I got a dog when I was in six grade. I went a dog-friendly café with my mother and dog, I was impressed that human and dogs can eat same foods. However I don’t like math and I need to get many qualifications. So I let's be realistic though, I give up my dream. I was looking for a dream when I was a junior high school student. It was difficult to decide my future path. I read some books which written about jobs and I talked with my parents for many times. And now, I want to be an elementary school teacher since I was in second grade of high school.

When I was a child I wanted to be a bus driver. When I was 9 years old, my family took me to Disneyland in Florida in the U.S.A. It is so huge that people use a bus to go to the park from their hotels. People on the bus looked very happy. All the people from all over the world laughed together every time the driver told jokes. I remember I wished this ride could last forever because the atmosphere was full of peace and happiness. It became my dream to make people happy by driving my bus. Now I would like to be a kindergarten teacher. I love little children. I would like to give everything I have to my students. I will tell them that everybody was born to be loved and each one is special and important. I would like them to share their sadness and happiness with me and friends. In my opinion, that is the most significant education.

When I was a child, I wanted to be a nurse. Because I wanted to help the person who suffers. When I was young, I often falls down. I had been carried by an ambulance to a hospital once. A nurse soothed me who was worried and afraid gently. Then I thought I'd like to be the person who can take someone's anxiety, too. However, I changed my dream now. It’s because I'd like to take the work to make the people happy immediately. For example, I'm interested in work of Disney's cast in particular. I'll be Disney's cast, and would like to be the man such hospitality which can be glad about person's delight sincerely overflows. While I'm university student, I'd like to experience variously.

It is to work at psychology area. When I was a junior high school student, I sometimes see bullying and bullied person. In addition, I heard my old friend was bullied at her high school. In my class, there is no bullying, but I want to help people suffer the bullying. This thought made me interested in a school counselor. After I entered Aoyama university, I learned a lot of the field of psychology; for example, criminal psychology, social psychology, educational psychology and clinical psychology and so on. Among of all psychology field I knew, I took an interest in criminal psychology and clinical psychology. But I must graduate from graduate school to get a qualification as a clinical psychologist.

When I was child, I had a lot of dreams. I wanted to be a pastry chef, I wanted to be a florist and I wanted to be a shop assistant of the pets shop. I had infinite possibilities. And I was interested in various things. Now, I can't have dream. There are two reasons for this problem. First, I don't know what job cut out for me. To check that, I am going to start various part time jobs. Second, I worry about welfare program. Some day, I will be married with someone. But if the welfare program is not enough, I can't bear my child. In my opinion, it's very difficult to work for women in Japan. Any way, I have to find my dream. I am going to try various things.

When I was a child, I wanted to be a trainer for dolphin. I like animals, especially I like dolphin very much. My parents sometimes took me to an aquarium on a holiday and we watched a dolphin show every time. I watched not only dolphins but also trainers. They looked happy with dolphin. But it is very difficult for me to be a trainer for dolphin. Because I can't swim at all. I have been poor at swimming since I was a child. I was afraid of soaking face in water. If I practice swimming very hard, I may be able to swim. But I gave up this dream. Now I don't decide my dream clearly. But I intend to get a license of kindergarten teacher. So I may be a kindergarten teacher.
