Summer plans

Today I would like each of you to write the following about what you would like to do this summer:

• Two things you want to accomplish
• Two things you want to enjoy
• Two places you want to go

Then, in small groups, put all of the information together in an outline that you write on the blackboard. However, you may NOT use the categories of "Things to accomplish", "Things to enjoy", and "Places to go" to organize your outlines.

Hi!

From now on, I will use this blog as my "入門セミナー" page. Before I type a new assignment, I'd like to post the last assignment I gave you here. Here's what I wrote on June 24, 2009:

Hello everyone!

Today there are two types of sites (web pages) that I would like to introduce to you. The first is a mailing list. Please click here to look at a mailing list I started called Kumamoto-i. This might be a way for you to meet foreigners who are living in Kumamoto.

By the way, if you need to use a dictionary as you are reading any of the sites I am introducing to you today, please click here to find links to some dictionaries I recommend. This page also has links to sites that give you both audio and text that you can use to study English.
