Welcome to the class! Writing English 2A & Culture through English 2A

Hello!

How are you? Today I would like to welcome you to my two Thursdays classes - Writing English 2A and Culture through English 2A. 

Here are some screenshots of a slideshow to present to you a little about me - and about our classes! Some of these are questions for you - other things are important points for you to know. 

Some of you might already know me from Writing English 1A (or 2A from last year) - so - do you remember where I come from in the U.S.? 

Take some guesses about these questions!

Now here are some important points for all of you.

That's right! I don't like tests! I don't like writing them - and you don't like taking them! That's okay!

That's also right! Writing and presentations are the things we'll do in the Thursday classes.

This is very important! I'm not looking for "perfect English" - only for what you have as people in the quality and character of your ideas and feelings!

I'm only joking!

This says a lot. I will be very happy to have all of you in these classes. 

So see you next week! Take care!

Now - I will show you a little bit about myself. The picture above is my "hello" to all of you. The picture looks a little strange. It's not me - it's an image from a CD cover. But I like the image and the colors!

少し私に教えて。この写真は皆の挨拶。ちょっと変だけど、私じゃない！イメージはCDケースを取った。デーザインといろは大好き！

Now here are some more pictures, with questions for all of you. Can you guess some answers?
