いちげつ ここのか

みなさん、こんばんは。
今日は 新しい年テーマのカリグラフィーのクラスがありました。
カリグラフィーは むずかしかったですよ。でも、私は  新しい年テーのカリグラフィーをかきました。 希望 (きぼう)です。



希望 (きぼう)/  Hope


きれいなえですね。私は このえが 大好きです。


Hi everybody,

Today we had a new year-theme calligraphy class. It was hard but I wrote one of them. It means hope. Isn't it pretty? I like it a lot.

いちげつ ここのか PE3 evaluation

こんにちは、

It has been another three weeks (the last three weeks) and my PE3 cycle and the semester are over. I need to evaluate my PE3.

PE3: Activities
1. Repeat vocabularies in each chapter in the textbook after the audio files. 5 minutes a day. [improve pitch, review vocabs]
2. Practice the short conversation practices online. 5-10minutes a day. (make it more feasible) [pitch,speed]
3. Listen to Japanese songs and sing along and look up a few vocabularies per song. 5-10minutes a day. [pitch, speed, vocabs]
4. Attend language table every week and engage in the conversation more. Try to initiate the questions and conversation during the language table.[communication]
Goals, activities, how long are the practices a day are subject to change. 

Reflection
1. Most of the days, I was able to do it. So I think it was good.
2. I did not do much of a conversation shadow practice. I ended up listening to the audios instead which will improve my listening skills but unfortunately not my pitch and speed.
3. I have done this activities most of the time, usually about five to ten minutes. And I usually get new vocabularies by looking the words in the songs up as well (I think I forget all of them though!)
4. I have attended all of Japanese table this cycle. Success!

The semester is over, and so is PE. I think I have improve both my listening and speaking skills a lot doing PE. So I think PE is really helpful to me.
