今日、好きな3マB授業で教えた。英会話のテーマは「趣味」だった。僕の小エッセイを訳した。あとで、いろんな質問を尋ねた。4人生徒の皆さんが上手に答えた。2年生の授業で、スキットコンテストであった!4,5人ずつのグループで3,4分間の英語スキットが出来た!カームコーダでリーコードをした。一番おもしろいスキットは明見駿と宮崎亜珠美はデートをした!中学生なので、男女のうちとけることが珍しいけど、元気な2年生がすごく恥ずかしくない!

I taught my favorite 9th grade master course today. The theme of our conversation was "hobbies." They translated my short essay and afterwards answered a few questions. All 4 students answered very well. We has a skit contest in the 8th grade class! Groups of 4 or 5 performed 3 or 4 minute skits in English! We recorded it with a camcorder. The most interesting skit was with Shun Myoken and Azumi Miyazaki going on a date! It is rare to see girls and boys openly share their feelings together, since this is junior high and all, but the super energetic 8th graders aren't shy!

My 8th graders are shy - at least the ones in my sentaku class. I tried to teach them "The Twelve Days of Christmas" today, but seeing how they barely speak in class anyways, trying to get them to sing out loud about turtle doves and lords-a-leapin' was nigh impossible.

You got boy-girl interaction? You must be the ALT messiah! ;)

The boy-girl interaction wasn't me, Azumi is a total attention hog, and she has neven been shy of the guys.

Don't worry about your 8th graders. Once you start your 2nd year people start to warm up to you even more than they do now!
