Hi everyone, 皆さん、おげんきですか。

In my classes, apart from regular learning activities of speaking, reading, listening, writing and dialogues making/speaking with use of the course books, the classes learned many verbs, their conjugation, esp. polite form, affirmative forms, negative forms, present tense and past tense, and use of the verbs in sentences. Many of the verbs (over 20 verbs) will be included in the Written Test of both classes this month after the classes will resume for this year.) (The written test is given at the final week of 10 weeks’ course in my teaching.)

Also, classes continued watching (and commenting) a DVD “Rekishi Kaido” (the info. can be obtained at www.rekishikaido.gr.jp). It showed a variety of historical and beautiful (and even enlightening) places in Nara, Kyoto, Osaka, north-western part of Japan and the world’s longest and beautiful bridge built between Hiroshima prefecture and Ehime prefecture over a few decades ago.

Pre-Intermediate 1 class will have the Written Test on 9 Jan. 12, so the class did revision in the last lesson last month.
