GOLDEN WEEK HAS OFFICIALY BEGUN!
Wishing everybody a wonderful week of rest, fun and amazing memories with family and friends!
Amity will also be closed this week starting from today! Regular scheduled classes will resume on the 7th of May!
Like the students I am as excited for this break, as the year has already been so busy, with new students and classes.
I'm hopeful this holiday will be memorable for students and teachers alike! We deserve it after working so hard!
I hope everyone stays safe and has a really good time!
Let's have fun this Golden Week everyone!

Let`s Travel!
Today marks the start of Golden Week, A source of excitement for many students.
Normally I begin my lessons with a few questions about life, and lately I have directed those questions around travel and golden week,
What will you do? where will you go? and if you could travel anywhere, where is you perfect vacation?
These questions have taught me some interesting things.
Out of all countries in the world, the two places that My students want too visist most of all are Australia and Canada, and for a very similar reason.
It seems that nature walks and sightseeing in forests and mountains is a very popular idea.
I`m always excited to hear about these places from their perspective, and many of the questions I have been asked about Australia have made me appreciate my country in an all new way.
I hope that everyone can take the time to appreciate the places they have gone and will go, and see how wonderful the world is.

中学校3年生も英会話を楽しんでいます!
みなさんこんにちは!
今日は中学校3年生の会話レッスンについてお話いたします。
中3の四人組。
昨年から同じメンバーでいつも通りの光景ですが、内容がまた変わりました。
あるレッスンでは、レッスン内で出てくるキャラクターだけでなく、自身の家族の趣味の話をしました!
改めて考えると家族のみんな何が好きなんだろうと考えている様子が見られます。
今回のレッスンで家族のことをより深く知るいい機会になったらいいですね!
レッスンの初めには、お互いに質問を二個ずつしあって質問文を作る練習もしています。
高校入試でも自分で質問文を作りなさいという問題があるので、これからも練習を頑張りましょう!

Counting down the days!
Golden Week is almost upon us and I have started asking my students what their plans are.
A few of them said that they are too busy with homework, especially my Highschool students.
Who seem to be busier than ever! I really hope they can find time to enjoy this holiday!
I was hoping to start a countdown with them regardless, in a bid to get
them more excited about the break!
Many others will be taking family vacations all over Japan to see relatives and friends.
I wish them safe travels and hopefully they can make wonderful memories
they can share with me and their classmates when they get back!
Officially 3 Days left to Golden Week!

A Very Big Step
Today I would like to highlight two of my students who made a very big step in their English lessons.
H and S were P3 students last year and sat on marshmallow seats singing songs, They have now begun P4 lessons, sitting on big kid seats and learning more vocabulary and grammar than ever before. THis was a very big and scary change for them both.
In our first lesson both students were very nervous, S put on a brave face and pushed through but H became very overwhelmed and didn`t feel good about the lesson.
I was worried for both students, But now at the end of 4 lessons together, I feel confident that They can handle our lessons, S and H now understand the new way lessons work, and they are working hard to repeat long sentences and difficult vocabulary.
S is very confident and quick to answer questions, And H is incredibly sweet and dilligent, no matter what activity we do, both put in their best effort and get excited for our games!
I look forward to seeing how both Thrive throughout the year.
