Hello.

I learned from Ferris Online, ELLLO because my weak point is listening skill.



a... The theme was "Green's Concerns in Bangladesh."



b... In Bangladesh, there are many environmental problems. For exemple, siol contamination, air pollution and water pollution because of tanneries. The soil contamination caused by being used a lot of polythene bags once. Still, many polythene bags stay in the ground now because the soil loses its fertility. Also, the air pollution caused by many transports. Recently, the government imports second hand cars which couldn't be older than 6 years. Also, the water pollution's situation is really bod. The people can't drink water, so the government is finding out the solution.



c... We always confront with many kind of environmental problems. Especially, above-mentioned three problems are serious. I feel that the soil contamination part was difficult to understand because I didn't know a relationship between the soil and polythene bags. I doubt why people bury the polythene bags. In contrast, the air pollution problem was easy for me to grasp. The reason for this is that I always worry about the problem. I move by using my car. However, cars discharge exhaust, so we should bicycles or walking when we go out.



d... Words

contamination : pollution

polythene : a strong light plastic used to make bags

fertility : richness

purification : cleaning up, purge

mandatory : compulsory, obligately

b... Cathy and Tetsu talk about wedding and June bride. Tetsu said June is rainy season in Japan. However, Cathy wants to marry in June in another country where it is fine.

Hello.
I learned a reading section from ALC Net Academy.

a... The theme was "classroom collapse" or "gakkyu hokai."

b... Theachers in contemporary in Japan are distressed by a classroom collapse. This means that the teachers aren't able to control their students. The students are noisy and ignore what the teacher is saying. This problem is caused by education in Japan. For example, children aren't being taught to show respect for other. MEXT says that children should appreciate that the feelings of others are as important as their own. Also, another problem is their parents' way to bring up their children. They are neglecting the responsibility of their children.

c... I think that recent Japanese schools have many problems. For instance, the problem of bullying, refusal to attend school, monster parents and so on. These problrms will bring about classroom collapse. I feel that we won't miss even any small things. Also, some children's parents are selfish. They complain of the school or the teachers to the teachers. I heard that the teacher are in trouble. Therefore, I want to be adult who has a common sense and my responsibility.

d... discipline : train, tack
properly : rightly, neatly, tidily
burden : load, worry
appreciate : understand serious or important problem
conservative : not liking cgunges, modest

From November 20th -preposition-

I answer the follow three question about preposition website.

(a) Was it helpful? Why?

Yes, it was. This is becasue I faced a lot of questions which I did't know about preposition. Also, I was easy to understand becasue the questions separate some sections.

(b) Did you learn anything new?

Yes, I did. I didn't know the details about preposition. For example, the preposition changes whether a specific noun or not specific one.

(c) Would you like to work on this website, or a similar one again in the future?

Of course. I want to learn the grammar by using this website. I think that my grammar ability must be developed!!
