【Go~4 QUESTIONs】
Q1. What did you do in class today?
A1. at the beginning of the class, i presentated role playing.^▲^/ thank you very much for your kindness!!
next,we combined one sentence(prase)from three sections. we already gave subject"I", we had to choose one word from each section. next, we listened thirteen short conversations on business travelling. we had to judge which situation speakers are from six situations. finally, we matched the halves of the following questions based on the conversations we had listened to.
Q2. Did you enjot doing these activities in class today?
A1. yes!! i met a new expression at the first task in this class. ⇒"can't stand" that was this!! when Dan said to me "didn't you hear before?", i was a little bit surprised cus i could spend in abroad without this word. but now i think i need this phrase to get along with other people through natural conversation including this word.
Amazing!!
Q3. Did you think these activities were easy or difficult? Why? or Why not?
A3. most of words we learned in this class were easy, but some of them were never heard for me. but this section focus on the airport. i learned about airport cus i prepared for the tourism english proficience test. so it's not difficult for me to understand especialy listening. i don't know exactly but we need to deeply understand this section, cus when we're going to go abroad we face to here(airport)firstly. haha!
Q4. What did you learn?
A4. in just only short conversation, how can i say to communicate better, and what can i do for others on business.
that is necessary i learned. i attended to the lecture from the president of UNESCO, and i heard that Jananese are the most negative people for speaking English in all of advanced nations. oh~ my gosh~~~!! so airport is the first internationl place, that's why..we have to use many English expresions in here. i wanna study about business travel more!!
thank you every time, Dan!!#^3^#
best wishes,

Thank you for submitting your blog on time!!
ReplyDeleteYukako, thank you for your very specific comments. I know what it's like to study a language and then find out you haven't learned the really important ones in day-to-day speech. "I can't stand...." is one of those. When I visited Japan after studying the language for one year in a Canadian university my Japanese friend used カッコいい to describe a guy she met. When I said I didn't know what that meant she practically fell off her chair in shock. I never forgot the word after that.
Depending who you meet in foreign countries some people tend to "level down" their English when they notice that the person they are speaking to is not a native speaker. When they do that they "cheat" you from hearing some really common expressions.
