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
I studied listening fluency from ALC Net Academy.
I studied level 2 easier than my listening ability. First, I listened to it slowly, and gradually a speed of listening up.
a... The theme was "June bride."
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.
c... Exactly, many girls admire for June bride. On the other hand, many men is unromantic.
I don't think about which is right, but a wedding is a chance of lifetime. Therefore, I want to get married in June!
d... Nothing.

From 4th December class
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

According to Jess, in Europe, Paris was the most expensive. However, brillant French wine was really cheap and huge variety.

My goals
1... My language goals are going abroad to learn English and to become an English teacher.
2... My English skill is so-so. I'm good at reading and writing. However, I'm poor at listening and speaking a little. Also, I'm practicing pronounciation. I like studying vocabulary, idiom and grammer. I'm good at learning them. Moreover, I'm also good at reading fluency, but I'm not good at listening to English fluenc.
3... I have to learn English everyday. For example, reading newspaper in English, talking with friends in English and watching TV in English are important.
4... In this class, we will learn English by using computers, so I think that reading, listening and writing abilities are accomplished. Because of using computers, I can review over and over again. I will stick it out.

I learned ALC Net Academy reading section from October 16th.I practiced reading as fast as possible, in other words, "fluency."
a... The theme was "Football players and DNA."
b... Top American football players have good DNA. The reason for this is that their ring fingers are longer than their index fingers.The material of hormone testosterone. Testosterone helps parts of its body grow. For example, heart, lungs, brain and fingers. This hormone builds muscles.
c... I was surprised that the ring fingers are longer than the index fingers. It may be unbelievable, but it is true. I think that not only football players but also other sports players should have good DNA. Football players' DNA appears as fingers, on the other hand, other sports players should appear as a part of body. I was amazed at a powewr of DNA. DNA will bring out our power and potentiality and so on.
d... I didn't know following three words.
testosterone : the hormone in males that gives them their male qualities
lung : one of the two organs in your body that you breathe with

ALC Net Academy Listening from October 9th
Hello.
I studied ALC Net Academy, listening section from October 9th.
a... I worked on a theme "Across the Atlantic of Lindbergh."
b... In 1927, Captain Charles Lindbergh began to get himself ready for the flight in his plane, "Spiti of St. Louis." He was to fly alone, nonstop, 3600 miles across the Atlantic to Paris for the first time. The interest of this flight was enormous. Later, at last, he reported that he could see the lights of Paris. A number of Parisian people warmly welcomed Lindbergh.
c... I think that Lindbergh has emotional strength and strong patient power for the first reading. The reason for this is that he put up with staying at monoplane alone for a long long time. The gap between the spiritual elevation of the people in Paris and Lindbergh's problems, difficulties and troubles during his flight must have been fierce. That's why I think that he is very strong mental power.
d... I didn't know the following five words.
aviation : the science or practice of flying in aircraft/the industry that aircraft
epic : a book, poem, or film that tells a long story about brave action and exciting events
reverlry : wild noisy dancing, eating, drinking and so on. usually to celebrate something
privation : formal a lack or loss of the things that everyone needs, such as food, warmth, and shelter
turn out : to gather, come together, crowd together

ALC Net Academy Reading
F class Mayu Kobayashi
I studied reading by using ALC Net Academy.
The title was "Why do people believe the UFO?"
I'm interested in this theme very much.
○Summary
Nowadays, it is easy to make a fake UFO photo and video. It was problem.
The experts cannot explain this problems, so many people believe it is true.
However, there is a huge distance between Earth and another planet, so it is unlikely
that UFOs are piloted by alien astronauts. People are skeptical about it.
○Vocaburary
・inquire : to ask someone for information
・spacecraft : a vehicle that is able to travel in space
・pilot : someone who operates the controls of an aircraft or spacecraft
to guide an aircraft, spacecraft, or ship as its pilot
・unlikely : not likely to happen
・originate from~ : formal to come from a particular place or start particular sitiation
Through this story, I think that there are many fake information about UFO.
However, many people believe that UFO or alien exists. The reason for this is that
there are some scientific evidence. My idea is also it exists.
I'm interested in this problem in the future.
