Sorry for late.. >3<
【5 QUESTIONs】
★ABOUT THE FINAL EXAM★
Q1. What did you think about the role-plays?
A1. That's killing me! before starting role-plays, i just imagined i overcome everything. i thought that was good for me at that time, but i noticed i've taken matters easy after finished. actually, from the moment i was given a paper, my brain wasn't working. haha... maybe.. i was bit upset then. now i don't come up with any good comment... after role play, you said to us like this.."i think it took long time for every student to understand the situation not only you guys."
but i feel it's awful wwwwwww>3<;
it's completely different from Eiken. i just only speaking, but this time i have to be careful for listening to other people said. [wait - listen - understand - speak] this process was the most important thing for the conversation, i learned.
Q2. What was your overall impression of this class?
A2. that was creative!! if i say "that was easy" then i'm a liar, but that's true your class was nothing without fun!! and i'm also appreciate it that you commented almost every time. you're first person who i could talk earnestly. i have several friends i've kept in touch for long time. but i noticed this is the first time ...
i think you're always helpful for us without last class becuz of role play. ^3^/
Q3. What problems/mistakes did you hear?
A3. although i didn't understand the situation well, i started the conversation. as a result, our first conversation was completely brokendown... i'm sure that was my fault. so i have to apologize for Arika. actually i totaly bad speaker that day.
sometimes japanese people say "ことばのキャッチボール" is the important rule when they talk together. now i know the most bad point was... i couldn't catch & throw words between me & her.
Q4. What did you do well?
A4. uhmmm... almost nothing! but if i could say anything... this! when Arika stoped speaking or thinking long time, i could help her by say something. even if that was trivial matters. i try to continue conversation.
but unfortunately ..That's all.
Q5. What could you have done to prepare and performe better?
A5. our tern was almost last. but i think i couldn't do any special without imagination. usually we were speaking as looking at paper. but this time we had no paper. it means we have to create our conversation moment, we had to extemporize.
if we made mistake, never go back. that's big different point between this time and usually. usually we could go back and recreate other one.
if we would be in a deadlock we have to break that by using any other easy words.
"you can say freely! Go speaking!" when i'm said so, i can't keep speaking. this situation like my final exam. haha!!
anyway, "What's done cannot be undone" according to japanese proverb, now i have to progress with my English.
P.S. thank you for kind of us, i had a good time★ ＆ Have a great summer vacation!

★Dan's class ~part 14~☆
【Go~4QUESTIONs】
Q1. What did you do in class today?
A1. at first, we were explained about the final oral exam. after that,we had to choose one from four situations, and started making script for role play for 35 min.
next, we made group in several people and discuss who is next James Bond.
Q2. Did you enjoy doing these activities in class today?
A2. yes, because many students were in a fever of James Bond.^3^/ one person said "he is so macho, he has to be Bond!Hu~Hu~ >▼of course we could discuss how peeson should be Bond. but the most interesting was... I heard many unique opinions from other group. haha!
Q3. Did you think these activities were easy or difficult?
A3. i was a OYAKATA. so actually it was difficult to choose just only one cuz each peorson had each opinion. oh~ my gosh! finaly, we decided "Charles Fox" by a majority vote. hahaha~! i thought Sam Landon is the best actor as James Bond...ノ3\;
Q4. What did you learn?
the number of people is the number of opinion... and preparing role play, it's not good for me.笑" i noticed through this long thinking time in class .. i'm not good at exchange opinion each other. now i have a big problem>3<; i can't digest her opinion, and i think she also can't do that. we will need to have a rethink on our script together by Tuesday.
we've had presentation many times in this session, actually even had we wanted to make same sentence, we couldn't do same word for word cuz we have different structures when we make sentence even just only one sentence. when i write "i have to go to school today because i have a test.", other person write "i should go to school today because i have a test." and may be it's also ok this"i have to go to school because of a test" meaning is same, but there are different types.
therefore presentation make me a little bit nervous!! (;>3<#)
sincerely,

☆Dan's class ~part 13~☆
【Go~4questions】
Q1. What did you do in class today?
A1. first, we did role presentation. caller speaks very well, but responder can't undersatand that English. this was a situation. Next, we moved on to part8, and we thought about "How decisive am I?". we answered 7 questions, then compared each other.
Q2. Did you enjoy doing these activities in class today? Why? or Why not?
A2. yes! every time, you make us enjoy. as you said in class, we always say "BIMYO~". when you asked me about question G,i answered "more no"!
but actually i was not sure cuz i have no certain reason. i judged from just imagining the situation. i couldn't explain with words. through this work, i found who i am. that's so funny work.
Q3. Did you think these activities were easy or difficult? Why? or Why not?
A3. it was easy to think about me cuz i am the most professional about me. but it was so difficult to explain me to others with words. of course,there is a language barrier.
Q4. What did you learn?
A4. usually, japanese people think that Asisn people always could be shy for everything. on the other hand, most Europe American people know who they are. that's why there is big defference between both. we have an indecisive decision, i think that's true. but some of us understand when should they make a perfect decision, when should they escape that. generary, people who tell their opinion are liked by all. but why can't people in japan say decision? i think the one of reasons is feeling. when their friend is very very very dissapointed... if they think it's completely their friend's fault, they can't say "that's your fault, so you need to apogize first!!". they have a deep feeling for the sufferings of others.
but it doesn't mean that foreign people don't have much feeling. actually it's comfortable for me to be with my foreign friends cuz their response are sometimes clear but very kind. on the other hand japanese sometimes give me a irritation answer. therefore, what is good response, bad response ..? it depends on the situation. >3<*/
but if i'll be asked again, why japanese people make indecisive decision?, then may be i'll answer like this. "we don't notice the necessity of knowing about us yet. because we went ok everything without decisive decision in japanese society. if people notice that it's important to describe us, new type of japanese born!!●^▽^●”
anyway, after answering each question on page45, i fonud!! ⇒my answers were "more~" except for F. i think i'm so decisive person☆ (/3\;)
have a nice weekend!! i look forward to seeing you & my classmates.
sincerely yours,

☆Dan's class ~part 12~☆
【GO~4QUESTIONs】
Q1.What did you do in clas today?
A1.first, we discussed the star festival(七夕). socond, we check the poem and the meaning of complicated words. neaxt, we listened to three unexpected phone calls on page41 continued from last class. finally, we started to make the presentation about handling calls.
Q2.Did you enjoy doing these activities in class today? Why? or Why not?
A2.yes, i enjoyed very much. especially about the star festival. i haven't considered about it before. what is the connection to stars? i'm not sure. i'm so confused cuz it's normal for me as Japanese, but for you it's mysterious thing, i noticed.
Q3.Did you think these activities were easy or difficult? Why? or Wht not?
A3.for me alittle bit difficult. "you said if ever i was in Rio you'd introduce me to your boss." Oh ~ my gosh~!! i could catch just part of this sentence...you said if... ...Rio you'd... ... to your boss. i missed the important point.
Q4.What did you learn?
A4.we shouldn't do "make caller waiting,breaking down communication,being annoy"in phone call. and we learned some expressions when we have to contact to caller again."Could you call me back?" "i'll speak to you later" "i'll get back to you tomorrow" ...whatever...
P.S. 【**star festival**】
in Japan, everybody believes that their dreams come true when they wish upon the stars. this is a never come true story. one day, Vega & Altair are falling love. but Vega's father was so stubborn person, he kept objecting against their love with any reasons. he separated them(Vega & Altair)into two worlds. so they were placed different world. then Galaxy was placed between them. they still can't be together. but they have only one chance to meet each other once a year. that is on July 7th.
once upon the time(may be, about one thousand and three hundred years ago), people started hanging the oblong paper to get better writing & sewing. but now, the meaning was changed. if people know that they have no possibilities for their dreams,it doesn't matter. when i was a child, i wrote the paper "someday i will be able to talk to alien★" of course that's impossible i knew then. but even that funny story is very important to hand down the story from generation to generation.
i can't explain very well... but if i could help you to know about Japan,i'm so happy.
*** thank you ~***

★Dan's class ~part 11~★
【Go~4QUESTIONs】
Q1.What did you do in class today?
A1.we started today's class with pair work. second, i made a asking question & answering question with polite sentence and presentated it with my partner. next,we listened one unexpected phone call and match it to its description. finally, we check a poem at the office.
Q2.Did you enjoy doing these activities in class today? Why? or Why not?
A2.actually, it was hard work. ＾○’recently,i've been interested in listening because i noticed that i can't keep my concentration for all listening time. i found my half of brain was working for understanding what speaker said, but other side was thinking about another thing at the same time.(haha... so also in class,i was happy for listening time. every time is very important for me to improve my skill.
Q3.Did you think these activities were easy or difficult? Why? or Why not?
A3.mmm~ i'm not sure... but sometimes i was bit confused about even simple question.
question was clear and simple at time first i heard, but while i was making sentence itwas getting gradually complex for me... what was happened in my brain??
Q4.What did you learn?
A4.i learned asking politely like "I would like to ask you for a big favor.---Could you~?". that's so easy expression with easy words. but when i have to say it con i do it properly? -may be not... in this situation, i will not be able to come up with this expression quickly because i will be really upset. i can do just reading and understanding it. but i'm not good at speaking. that's my problem.
anyway, i enjoyed the poem at the last of the class. it can be said with rhyme like japanese haiku. so funny~★
i'm looking forward to seeing you and classmates on this friday again.
thanks~♪
your sincerely,
yukako★
