今後の予定について
今日はいつもの教室でWhat did you do over the weekend?や2年以降のゼミの選び方などについて話した後に、パソコン室(1446)に行って、Lang-8を使わせました。今日、quizをしようと思っていましたが、来週(5月31日)まで延期することにしました。quizの範囲はMama Crowに関するものになります。テキストを読むだけでなく、音声も繰り返し聞いた上でquizを受けてほしいことを改めて伝えました。
今の予想では、6月7日ごろからゼミの仲間を箇条書きのレジメ(outline)で紹介してもらいます。その準備の一つとして、紹介の際に使いたいような英語の言い回しをLang-8で添削してもらっておいてください。

[TEXT OF VIEDO]
Today we heard a couple of crows making a lot of noise near our house. Then, Mariko heard a noise by our backdoor where we keep our trash. She took a look and found this crow sitting on top of the trash can. It seemed to be struggling so I thought it had gotten caught in the netting in back of the can. I got some gloves to protect my hands and picked up the lid to see if I could help it to get free. To my surprise, it didn't try to fly away. I slid it off the lid onto my glove where it seemed remarkably content.
Meanwhile, two other crows seemed quite upset about what was going on. We think that the two crows are the parents and that the crow we found on our trash can may be too young to fly.
We put it down and then it hopped to our front yard and climbed up a tree. It hasn't moved from the tree for several hours and the parents continue to keep watch.
I think this has been a hard Mother's Day for Mama Crow. Like many mother's and father's she can't help but worry about her offspring -- even after they've gotten pretty big.
