おかえりなさい！

Hello to all my Daito Bunka writing students,

How are you? Welcome back to class, and to this blog. This semester we will look at how to write more over these topics:

Explanations, excuses or problems (説明、申し訳、問題)

Interesting or unusual experiences (面白い、ユニークな経験)

Movies, TV programs, or music (映画、テレビ番組、音楽) 

We will also do a final writing project with a topic of your choice. I'll tell you about that later.  

I have also made a list of pages on the side of the blog. On it, you will find hints and tips about grammar and vocabulary. You can check these at any time, and can help you with your writing. 

So far, I have these pages: basic grammar (基本的な文法), advanced grammar (進んでいる文法), 

vocabulary (ヴォキャブラーリ), and writing (書き). I plan to make more pages when I can. 

I have also made another page of student writing. On it are two groups of writing by my Writing 1A & B students last year - The Small Book of Big People (in Parts 1 & 2) and Words on Music (in Parts 1 & 2). Check them out! 

I will add more about grammar, vocabulary and writing as I go along, so keep checking!  

I'm happy to be back with all of you, and look forward to working with you again this semester. 

Let's have fun learning more and writing about new topics and themes in English!

See you next time!
