We have started giving out application forms for Eiken Jr this week.
Many students did very well last year and I hope that they can do even better this time round.
We have issued a small challenge to all the students to not only level up if their score was 80% or
higher but also to get the higest possible score they can!
I am excited for all my students to try their best and rise to the challenge. Most of them seem to be very excited about it,
especially my student "H", she thinks it is going to be really easy!
I am looking forward to this year's test and hopefully the Challenge will be accepted!

雨降って地固まる。This simple Japanese proverb (ame futte jikata maru) is a perfect example of the experience of learning English. The literal translation is "the soil hardens after the rain". A similar proverb in English is "There's always a rainbow after the rain." For English language students, the "rain" is grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and listening training and the "hard soil" is being able to express feelings, ideas and opinions in English; the joy of communication. - Michael.
It's hard to believe that we have already reached September!
Nine months into the year!
It feels like only yesterday that I was speaking to student about their cherry blossom-viewing picnics or their excitement for the start of the new school year.
In English we have a saying "Time Flies when you're Having Fun" and I feel like this year has marked that saying perfectly, every lesson and all the time spent with students has been so interesting that many times we have looked at the clock and realized 'oh! it's already time to go!'
I hope that the rest of our year can be just as interesting as it has been so far!

It's Raining, It's Pouring
The storm has touched down and we're seeing a lot of crazy winds and lots of heavy rain have been lashing Kure and the areas around.
The weather can be pretty scary sometimes, but mostly when I have asked my students they have only told me about how annoying it is! One student complained bitterly about how he couldn't play sports with his friends this weekend.
Another shared her frustrations at the wind and humidity ruining her hair and making her feel uncomfortable.
However I think the funniest reaction will forever be my older student 'M' lamenting at how the weather smells like "a wet dog". It is so interesting the way some students use English to express their ideas!

Even though the typhoon warning promises bad weather, my P1 student "K" makes the weather bright and sunny!
She is such a bundle of smiles and energy! She is now able to read along with me and mom in her storybook!
She continues to surprise me with how well she remembers everything we learnt!
She loves to sing and it is always such a happy time when I see her. She never fails to make all of us smile!
She had a makeup lesson yesterday and the first thing she did was give me a hug before going with the other teacher!
It really was so cute! She is always happy!

I was truly impressed with the effort and determination of all the students taking the TOEIC test at our school last week. It was inspiring to witness how they were able to understand challenging reading and listening activities. In fact, it's inspired me want to resume studying Japanese again. - Michael.
