Many dormitory students
enjoy Friday Night playing some games, watching movies, or cooking together. I
am also the one enjoyed the Night baking pumpkin scones with my friends. Friday
is a precious day for us ― TGIF! On Saturday
night I’d long been talking about course taking with my friends, and on Sunday night I simmered some Japanese
apricots to make 4 jars of jam with them.
Hey, where has ELA gone? Actually I attended the SEA program orientation. My
destination will be Dublin, and to my surprise, our teacher Dan will come there
to see our works.
In Friday’s ARW class,
we had a CWT about arguments and fallacies. I did better than I had expected,
and it was interesting for me to analyze the questions and find the correct
answers. In Japanese culture, arguments are not thought to be a good thing and instead
agreements are required. But in English language, especially in academic
writing, arguments are important to make constructive decision. I think that
really good ideas often come up from arguments.
Also, about the CWT, the way
of checking answers was very interesting. It is a little bit difficult to
distinguish the pronunciation of B and D, so Dan used the word Boston for B and
his own name for D! I found it easier to distinguish them. If I were an ELA teacher at
ICU, I will describe A, B, C and D using these words; Aho-yama, Baka-yama, Church
and Diffendorfer!
