Q1
New thing that I learnt from pronunciation's class is that one word has a lot of ways to pronounce. For example, "g" has many ways to pronounce. "gold", "generally", "beige" and "gila" are all different pronounciations. In addition, some different words have a same pronunciation. For example, "share", "social", "suger", "ratio", "assure", "machine" have a same pronunciation. I am very interested in this, so I want to learn more about pronunciation. I learnt other things, but I forgot them. I have to learn a lot of things, because I will come back Japan on December. However, in this week the school was off on Tuesday, and I did not go to the school on Thursday. Therefore, new thing that I learnt is all.

Q2
I noticed that HELP program is very hard for me both in mental and physical. I like all of my friends and teachers in HELP, because they are all nice people. However, I am too self-centered, so I want to do what I like and I do not want to do what I do not like. In addition, I cannot help talking with somebodies. Therefore, I feel that lectures are so boring. In addition, I soon get weary of everything. My goals are to improve TOEFL score and to become able to speak English fruently. I just want to do about these things. I know I am bad, but this is me.

Q3
First, I read the reading from the beginning to the end once without stoping for general understanding. Second, I look for all the signal words before sorting them out and decide the pattern of the text. Third, I understand what is mentioned. Finally, I read it thoroughly.

  1. Hi Shinpei,

    Q2.
    I think you might have not enough rest at your leisure that you cannot have enough energy to keep your mind on the courses. You can try to decrease the number of your activity on weekends.

  3. Shinpeeeei! Let's speak in Enlish with me in HELP even in the students launge. However I think it sometimes makes stress. Also you have a tutoring lesson about speaking, so I think you are doing well. Don't think too much! mana
