Welcome Back!
Amity will be opening for regualr classes tomorrow!
I'm sure the students are eager to get back to their lessons and learning English!
It has been a wonderful and fun week off and I am so excited to hear about how
students spent their week! It should make for some interesting conversations!
This holiday has been really interesting! Seeing and experiencing new things around Japan!
I hope the students were able to enjoy their Golden Week and I look forward to hearing all about it!
This week, I will be doing "Share Time" in all my lessons, so students have the opportunity to share and listen to
stories about Golden Week! I also want their take on some of the traditions of the holidays during that time!
I'm looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!

Not long ago we faced a scary earthquake that had many of my students talking.
Thankfully everyone was safe and sound, But I used the chance to talk to some of my students about what to do when scary things happen.
Everyone had many ideas about what the best thing to do was,
One of my highschool students, R, was even able to give detailed instructions on what to do In many kinds of emergency and explain why.
I had never thought about many of the things she said, but I feel so much safer knowing how clever and prepared everyone is!
It`s very important to talk about these things, so I`m very glad.

みなさんこんにちは！
今日は小学校高学年のプライベートクラスでのお話をいたします。
小5のHくん。
現在はプライベートレッスンで英検に向けた読み強化を行っております。
前のレッスンは、職業のお話だったため、あるアニメキャラクターの話をしながら彼らの職業を言っていく練習をしました！
また、家族のことも聞いてみたうえで、それを英語に直し、発話練習もしています！
自分の家族紹介ができるって、とても楽しいですよね！
今度は親戚にも話を広げていって、いろんな職業を知っていきましょう！

Golden Week is a host of traditions, celebrations and interesting festivities!
I am looking forward to asking my students how they spent their week
and what festivals and events they went to!
I am hoping to teach them some more vocabulary so they can share with
me and the class all the fun things they got to do!
Golden Week is great opportunity to give the students more interesting topics to
speak about during our open discussion sessions but also a great way to get to know them better!
I am also really keen to share with them some of my Golden Week memories
as it will be the first time I am traveling around Japan this year!
I am so excited to teach and learn new things!

Now that we are in our Golden week \vacation, I think it is a very good time to think about travel, and that means Maps!
In my P5 class, I have been teaching my students about many different countries and continents, and one particular group on THursdays, D, Y and K have done an specially fantastic job remembering them all.
Geography and maps is a very difficult subject to learn, but all three students have shown they can confidently call out the names of every country and continent we have studied, D and Y even blew me away by pointing each on out on our world map as soon as I put the picture on screen, and K was able to match countries to nationalities and even tell me a little about some of them, like what foods come from there.
Every time I learn something knew from my students I feel so happy!

みなさんこんにちは
今日は個別のセミナーレッスンのお話をいたします。
小3のYちゃん。
現在はスピーキング・読みの強化をしています。
まずは自身のことについてたくさん話せるよう、"ALL ABOUT ME!!"という自己紹介ポスターを作成中です。
その中には、名前、家族構成、誕生日はもちろん、好きな色や食べれるもの、食べられないものを絵と文章で書いてもらっています。
個別セミナーならではのものづくり、一緒に完成させてお母さんの前で発表しようね！
そして、また今度、外国人の先生やお友達に会ったときに、英語でもっとお話ができるように練習しましょう！

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.

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！

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!
