Good morning and I really appreciate your visit to English Plus blog!
English Plus is a small language school located in Tamachi, Tokyo.
We're providing fun, student-centered, practical English lessons.


Today, let's learn some English vocabulary for Eiken exam.
At English Plus, we offer lessons for both kids and adults.
Currently, we offer weekly English lessons for "junior high school students" and phonics and basic English lessons for "1st-6th grade elementary school students".
Our lesson for elementary school students are not only focusing on Eiken exam but also acquiring basic English skills.
In today's blog, I would like to introduce some of the English words that appear in Eiken, which are also studied in our English Plus lessons for elementary school students.
This blog introduces 5 (10 with tomorrow's blog) English words that elementary school students should know for Eiken (especially Level 5 to Level 3), as well as example sentences appropriate for Level 5 to Level 4 of the Eiken exam.

English words at school elementary school students should know for Eiken exam

1. desk（机）
→ This is my desk. 　（これは私の机です）

2. chair（いす）
→ There is a chair in the room.（部屋にいすがあります）

3. blackboard / whiteboard（黒板 / ホワイトボード）
→ The teacher writes on the blackboard.（先生は黒板に書きます）

4. pencil（鉛筆）
→ I have a pencil.（私は鉛筆を持っています）

5. eraser（消しゴム）
→ Can I use your eraser? （あなたの消しゴムを使ってもいいですか？）

Please refer to tomorrow's blog for the other five too.
One point of study advice is that in Eiken Levels 5 to 4, you should use basic phrases such as "What's this? - It's a notebook."
It is also advantageous in the conversation part of the Eiken to be able to say not only words but also short sentences, so I recommend that you get used to using sentences little by little.
In our English Plus lessons for elementary school students, we will help them to build up their vocabulary through the four skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing (phonics).
We have an environment where even those who are new to English can start with confidence, so please feel free to contact us even if you are wondering if your child can keep up with the class.

Good morning and thank you very much for your time to stop by English Plus blog!
English Plus is a small language school located in Tamachi, Tokyo.
We're providing fun, student-centered, practical English lessons.


Today, I would like to write about "How to learn English for Beginners."
For beginner English learners, learning methods can have a significant impact on their motivation and results.
Today, as an English teacher, I would like to introduce some “effective and positive learning methods for beginners” based on evidence and my experience in the field of education.
I personally recommend these 5 learning steps for English beginners.

1) 【Start by listening】
Listening is a good foundation for listening and pronunciation.
When learning a language, human beings acquire it in the order of listening, speaking, reading, and writing, so let's start with listening.
Recommended learning methods are...
・Listen to simple English audio (e.g. NHK Radio English, YouTube's English for Children, etc.) for 5-10 minutes every day
・Pronunciation practice is recommended by “shadowing” (listening to English sentences and practicing imitation with a slight delay)

2) 【Learning Basic Words & Phrases】
To enjoy conversation, you must know basic words and phrases.
First, let's learn words and phrases that can be used in daily conversation.
In addition, it is more important to learn “usable words” (with priority given to vocabulary that is used frequently) than “words you know”.
As for actual learning methods...
・Use materials such as "word books" and "English conversation phrase books" that you think you can study by yourself
・Checking words (10 words at a time) every day with word cards or apps is also effective
・Memorize in patterns such as “I want to 〜” and “Can I 〜?”.

3) 【Grammar Study】
After learning basic words and phrases, it is also important to understand the sequence of sentences (grammar).
Start by reviewing basic junior high school English.
If you understand English grammar, you will be able to understand “why we say that” and be able to apply it, so let's study from simple English grammar.
The way to learn...
・Use the English materials you will study in junior high school and study regularly
・Do not try to memorize grammar perfectly, but understand it as you use it

4) 【Get used to speaking aloud】
It is important in English conversation to get used to actually speaking English, not just learning it in your head (brain).
By actually speaking, your memory retention rate will increase significantly.
In fact...
・Speak out even one phrase every day
・Talk to yourself in English (write a diary and say it in English, or try expressing something in front of you in English)
・Have regular opportunities to speak at English conversation classes, etc.

5) 【Devise ways to continue learning English】
Since learning a language takes time, maintaining motivation is essential.
"Continuation" is the biggest key to English language acquisition.
To do so, for example...
・Keep a study record (try writing down your daily progress in an app or notebook)
・Set small goals (e.g., learn 10 phrases in a week)
・Use your favorite English phrasebooks and movies for fun

【Summary of Today's Points】
1. Be aware of the cycle of “learning vocabulary, phrases, and grammar → listening → imitating → using” (memorization alone is not fun, so it is also important to devise ways to make learning fun)
2. Don't seek perfection, even little by little, and continue every day (continuity is key)
3. Find a style that is fun and suits you (the key is to find a learning method that suits you and is not overwhelming)

At English Plus, we check each student's progress and can give appropriate advice on each student.

Good morning and I appreciate your visit to English Plus blog!
English Plus is a small language school located in Tamachi, Tokyo.
We're providing fun, student-centered, practical English lessons.


Today, let's learn some English vocabulary for Eiken grade 5.
At English Plus, we offer lessons for both kids and adults.
Currently, we offer weekly English lessons for "junior high school students" and phonics and basic English lessons for "1st-6th grade elementary school students".
Our lesson for elementary school students are not only focusing on Eiken exam but also acquiring basic English skills.
In this blog, I would like to introduce some of the common English words that appear in Eiken grade 5, which are also studied in our English Plus lessons for elementary school students.

There are 10 English words that appear frequently in Eiken grade 5! 10 English words around us.

1. book（本）
→ I read a book every day.（私は毎日本を読みます）

2. door（ドア）
→ Please open the door.（ドアを開けてください）

3. window（窓）
→ Look at the window.（窓を見てください）

4. clock（時計）
→ The clock is on the wall.（時計は壁にあります）

5. computer（コンピューター）
→ I use a computer at school.（私は学校でコンピュータを使います）

All of these words are frequent vocabulary for Eiken grade 5.
When memorizing them, do not just memorize the meanings of the words, but practice reading them aloud with example sentences to help your memory retain them.
The key to remembering these words is not just to “memorize the meaning,” but to actually read the example sentences aloud to learn how to use them.
In English Plus lessons, these vocabulary words are firmly established through the four skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
Please refer to tomorrow's blog for the other five too.

Study Advice for Eiken grade 5:
✅ Make time to come into contact with English, even if it is only for 5-10 minutes every day
✅ Memorize words by “meaning + pronunciation + example sentences”
✅ Try to find things in your home that you can say in English (“What is this in English?” - the habit of thinking “How do you say this in English?”)
✅ Try to challenge past Eiken questions and listening questions

We have an environment where even those who are new to English can start with confidence, so please feel free to contact us even if you are wondering if your child can keep up with the class 😊.

Good morning and thank you very much for your time to stop by English Plus blog!
English Plus is a small language school located in Tamachi, Tokyo.
We're providing fun, student-centered, practical English lessons.


Today, I would like to write about how to finish the reading section of the TOEIC exam.
Completing the TOEIC reading section in time is a major challenge for many test takers.
In fact, we often hear from English Plus students that they have trouble finishing all the questions.
So today, we have compiled a list of effective strategies and practices to help you finish the TOEIC (Reading) test in time.

1. set a target time for each Part
Part 5: about 10 minutes (30 Questions)
Part 6: about 10 minutes (16 Questions)
Part 7: about 55 minutes (54 Questions)

2. Develop skills to process Part 5 and 6 quickly
・Grammar or Vocabulary questions should ideally be within 20 seconds per question
・Immediate decision making through pattern recognition (e.g. vocabulary questions, tense, parts of speech)
・Train grasp of sentence structure (quickly recognize subject, verb, object)

3. Time-saving techniques for Part 7
・Practice skimming and scanning
・Practice “not reading everything carefully” is important
・Training to find specific information quickly
・Don't focus too much on one sentence, skip sentences you don't understand

4. Devising the order of questions in Part 7
・Solve Single Passage first
・Try “Triple Passage” last with time in mind
・Start with relatively short passages or advertisement or email format is also effective

5. Practice and develop the habit of time management
Make it a habit to time and solve mock exams as you would in a real test

Other tips to maintain motivation:
・Record “the number of questions solved in time” little by little each time to realize your progress
・Even if you are not good at Part 7, you can recover by creating a scoring source in Parts 5 and 6, so be conscious of “getting a balanced score rather than a perfect score” in the real exam

✅ Summary: The golden rule for completing the reading on time:
1. Set a time limit for each part and observe it
2. Don't focus on difficult questions, but look at the whole picture and proceed
3. Get used to time management by repeatedly practicing in the real test format

We provide TOEIC lessons on Saturday, and if you are interested, please take a trial lesson.

English Plus is a small language school located in Tamachi, Tokyo.
We're providing fun, student-centered, practical English lessons.


Today, let's learn some English vocabulary from English Plus lessons.
At English Plus, we are currently offering weekly 【English conversation】 and 【TOEIC test preparation】 lessons for adults.
In the English conversation lessons in particular, different topics come up each time in the conversation among the students.
The topics of conversation are very varied, such as weekend topics, recent news, current trends, hobbies, travel, and so on.
Therefore, our students use various vocabulary words.
One of the words, which I often hear from our lessons, is ending in the suffix “-ism” that are commonly used in daily conversation, in the news, and on the TOEIC.
Words ending in “-ism” often express principles, ideas, concepts, and customs, and many of them are commonly heard in our daily life.
Today, I would like to introduce some frequently used “-ism” English words.

・optimism = 楽観主義
・pessimism = 悲観主義
・militarism = 軍国主義
・globalism = グローバリズム
・conservatism = 保守主義
・liberalism = 自由主義
・commercialism = 商業主義
・professionalism = プロ意識

After checking the English words above, read them aloud.
At English Plus, we offer some English lessons to help our students improve their basic English skills.
