Where, What, When, Why and How!
Hello Everyone I hope you have had a great week
Today we are going to discuss the common question words and how to use them to practice English.
They are very important to learn as you will have to use them in every conversation. They are also very useful for helping you understand the question you are being asked. If you know someone that speaks English consider asking them questions to see how they will respond.
Here are some common questions you can ask.
Who is your favourite (sports team)?
What (sports team) do you support?
How often do you (watch football)?
When do you (watch football)?
Why do you (like this team)?
Another way to ask is to make a statement. If you are familiar with asking questions then making statements will make you sound more fluent. For example;
You look like a Man United fan.
You like Liverpool, right?
I take it you watch football a lot.
Weekends are the best times to watch football.
Real Madrid has an awesome line up.
You can get the same information with these statements as with the questions above, the difference being that the interaction will feel smoother and more native like.
The great thing about questions is that you can ask them to yourself. Making them easy to practice alone.
Thats all for today I hope you have a splendid week!

日本語と同じ「ことばの基礎」が作られる前です。
赤ちゃんはお母様のお腹の中におられるときからことばを聞いています。もちろん生まれたばかりの0才のお子様がことばを聞いてすぐに発話するわけではありません。しかし、この「ことばの基礎」を日本語と一緒に英語でも作ることにより、日本語に近い形で英語を身に付けることが出来ます。大きくなって「僕は日本語ができない」なんて言うお子さまがいないのと同じで、英語も日本語と同じように触れさせてあげることがとても大切なのです。英語に触れる時間が限られている日本だからこそ重要になるのが【指導力と内容】です。アミティーの「将来を見据えた英語力育成カリキュラム」を一度体験下さい。
Hi everyone. How are you doing? I hope your are having a great day.
You might be wondering why Santa is on the title. Today, I am going to
introduce a very interesting seminar that is available this November.
This seminar will give the students a chance to write and send a letter
and receive a reply from Santa. The students will learn how to write an address
and make sentence, they will also get a chance to design the letter.
The letter needs to be written as early as November because it will be
sent to the Canadian Post which takes time.
However, rest assured you will get a reply on Christmas (Dec. 25) any day
in December.
A fun event that will definitely be meaningful for the students.
So what are you waiting for? Sign up now!

Are you excited for the upcoming Halloween seminars at Amity?
If you are, here are some Halloween traditions that we will learn soon.
1. Carving Jack` Lantern- The term Jack o` Lantern is said to have originated from Irish folktale
about a man name "Stingy Jack". In order to keep the "Stingy Jack", ghost and and evil spirits away,
people started to carve scary faces on pumpkins and
started calling them Jack o` Lantern.
2. Spooky Costumes- This must be one of the
greatest part of Halloween. In this tradition people
compete or put a great effort in making the scariest
costumes. However, some people also prefer to stay
unique and cute and usually chooses to wear
costumes of famous Tv, or cartoon characters.
3. Trick or Treating- The most anticipated part of
Halloween but do you know why people say trick
or treat? Trick is an action one makes in order to
deceive someone while treat basically means snack.
In conclusion people say it to ask if owner of the
house wants to be pranked or not.
