[End] An English lab that makes traveling fun "Let's go"、Seattle"
2012/08/31
Summer is almost over ... Mothers ask their children, "Do you have your summer vacation homework?"、Children are children even when they are in a hurry to write a picture diary (laughs)! Dad this summer、My mom also studied ~ and I'm studying English。
YOCCA will send、A language course that makes traveling fun。The first is Chinese conversation、And this time the second was English conversation。
Lecturer is YOCCA Vice Chairman from Seattle, USA、I ’m Devon McNair.。
West coast of the United States、Seattle, the northernmost city of Washington、This course allows you to learn English as if you were traveling、8Saturday of the month、It was held 3 times。
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
August 4th：Seattle City Guide
1The second time while using the projector、It started with a tour of the highlights of Seattle and Washington.。Some people may think of the East Coast when they hear Washington.。But Washington "state"、Located in the northernmost part of the west coast。Moreover, Seattle is further north of the state.、It borders Canada.。
The eastern side of the state is a desert、Seattle faces the Pacific Ocean、It is a city full of greenery and rich in nature。It is also the birthplace of Starbucks coffee、It is also the home of the Seattle Mariners, to which Ichiro belonged until just the other day.。Take an hour、We had you introduce Seattle carefully。
The second half、English conversation useful in restaurants。It ’s a role-playing with a little movement of your head and body.。
Basic sentence pattern、After learning vocabulary、Mr. McNair becomes the front desk staff of the hotel、Hotel guests (students) responded to phone calls from guest rooms。
"I already have someone else's luggage in my room." "I'd like to have a wake-up call."、For issues that seem a little difficult、The students were boldly challenging。
August 11th：Seattle directions
2The second time、Practicing to get directions using a map of downtown Seattle、I learned how to order at a restaurant。
On the American road、No matter how small the road、It has a name。
Prepare two types of shops and highlights that are actually in downtown on a map in advance、I practiced giving directions between students、First Starbucks store、Outdoor specialty storeEddie Bauer (エディー · バウアー)、Bus stop to the Mariners home "Safeco Field"、Monorail station、Post office、Sushi restaurants (all are real), etc.、I felt like I was actually traveling in Seattle。
By the way ... "Eddie Bauer" has a shop in Japan as well.、A long time ago、Because it prospered as a city to buy the tools needed by prospectors aiming for a lot of money in the gold rush、Seattle is also famous as an outdoor city.。
In the latter half of the class、How to order at the restaurant。
After showing me a photo of a delicious restaurant in Seattle on my computer、For each group of two、I actually ordered from appetizers to desserts、Make payment、It was perfect role playing。Tipping in the US is 15% to 20%。When you are politely and comfortably entertained、You can also bounce chips。However、I will never come to such a store again、At that time、0% is fine。Mr. McNair acted as a waiter、It seems that there were many people who played chips!
August 18：Away from Seattle。
"Travel & Trouble Advice" was the final theme。For a fun trip、Crisis management is essential! So、The criminal's face and clothes when he was pickpocketed or thieved、I learned how to express what was stolen。
In the game to find the criminal、Johnny Depp、Mr. McNair printed out photos of celebrities such as "Weird Uncle" from the net.、Explaining clothes and face shape in English、It was a lot of fun。また、A game to find stolen things in a bunch of photos of a bag、It was divided into police officers and victims.。
At the end of the final class、While looking at the map of Washington State prepared by the teacher、Paired up with the task of planning a week-long Seattle trip。(One pair、Enjoy seafood in Seattle on the first day、Rent a car the next day ...)
3I took the course once and completely with Seattle、To all the students who are familiar with the situation in Washington State、With free ideas far beyond imagination、I made each plan。
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
The language course "Let's go ○○" that travels to the places related to the instructor、Not just learning a language、The environment in which the word is spoken、I planned it with the desire to let you know the cultural background.。Through the two "Let's go" series this year、I feel that our wishes from YOCCA have come true (maybe miso in the foreground ... lol)。With you in the future、I would like to travel to various cities、Please look forward to it!
