Thank you

I worked hard today.
I took the patiants to the bath in the morning.
And afternoon, I worked hard .
When I came back home , I cooked dinner for my children.
And ran to NOVA.
The instructor said to me that I look tired.
He told, " You smile."
Thanks.

impossible

Believe it or not, I've passed the level up test last week.
I got on level 4.

Unbeievable!? But it's true.

I took my first lesson of level 4 last Sunday.
It's rather difficult to catch the contents.
First, there were a lot of new words I didn't know.
For example, "invest" "frugal" " spendthrift" etc.
You know " take out" of course, but I've never known that means " ローンやサービスを受ける、保険をかける、申し込みをする等”.
And I'm ignorant about economic something.


Anyway, I 'll enjoy the lessons and practice hard at home.

For a while

I went to NOVA today.
I cannot improve my english easily.
The instrutor gave us the new way of the program.
They consulted each other how educate our (poor) English.
We learned all the section of the book level E.
Some students learned the book more than twice or three times .
It's becominng kind of boring for us and them.

I know i have to study on my own.

study hard

My grammar is bad.
I cannot talk english correctly ,especially tense and reference.

I was riding my bike, when a car ran towards me and hit it.
I fell down on the street and hurt my leg.

My teacher told that I need study grammar.

at the VOICE

I went to Voice Room for a while.
I was shocked that I couldn't talk English well.
All the students in the room were good at English.
There were 6 or 7 people.



I know that I have to work hard to build the base, words and grammer.
And I need to get the every branch of knowledge.

modesty

Yesterday, the topic of the lesson was about gifts.


What do you say when you give a gift to someone?
The instructor chose the sentence "It's not much, but I hope you like it."
He told us that is popular.
I guess it is similar to Japanese feelings.
I had never thought Western people were such modest.
I had had a false impression of them until then.

I should............

I started NOVA at May just of last year.
I'm afraid I couldn't develop the ability of English conversation.
First, my level was on 6.
Then, two or three months later , I got on level 5.
But now I'm still in level 5.


I should study little by little, day by day.
Remember my original intention.

the small branch

Today,I learned from a instructoress.
She is only one woman in our branch.
Our branch is small, so there are not so many instructors in it.

Tip

I asked if it's commom to tip at the hotel or taxi.
He answered it's in America.
We usually don't tip in Europe.
The answer eased my mind.
Actually I don't know how to tip .

Lesson

I learned + and - .
On the one hand, .............., but on the other hand I.............
You can't (have the money) without (the bad traffic).
The money and the traffic are bed fellows.

When you state the opinions, you need say " I think ....., I guess.....,
I suppose ......"
I suppose the factory caused the air pollution.


最近　レッスンの時　人が少ないなあと思っていたが
今日は久々に　三つのブースが埋まっていた。
全部で7ブースあるのだが、もし　全部のブースが埋まったとしたら
周りの音で自分の講師やパートナーの声が聞こえなくなるだろうから
このくらいでちょうどいいのかも。
