Hello Amity Mito students and families! ✧。٩(ˊᗜˋ )。*✧
Autumn is a wonderful season for reading. With cooler days and more time to relax after school, it can be nice to find a quiet place and enjoy a good book. Many students in Japan also have opportunities to visit the library, read during school activities, or choose books for their own reading time.
This week, try asking someone,
"What is your favorite book?" It is a simple question, but it can lead to some very interesting conversations.
You might hear answers like,
"I like adventure stories," "My favorite book is about animals," "I like funny stories," or "I enjoy reading manga." You might even discover that you and your friend have completely different favorite books!
Students, if you don't know the English word for your favorite book, that's okay! Try explaining it instead. You can say,
"It's a story about..." or "It's funny because..." Explaining your ideas is great English practice. Parents, asking
"Who is your favorite character?" or "What happens in the story?" can make reading time into a fun conversation.
At Amity Mito, we believe that books help us discover new ideas, new words, and new worlds. Reading in any language can also give us something interesting to talk about in English.
Amity Mito Weekly Thought:
If you could recommend one book to your teacher, what would you choose? Tell us about it during your next lesson!
If you have a question about English, school, or even your teacher's favorite book, try asking in English during your lesson. You might just earn a special sticker for your effort!
Sincerely,
Your English Teachers at Amity Mito (^ ▽^ )/♡
