ホテルを書いてる/writing about hotels

Hello!

How are you? Let's think about, and write some notes, on hotels! 

Warmup/activity
What kind of hotel would you like to stay in? Let's look at some pictures of different hotels.

This is the first one - the Marina Bay Sands Hotel in Singapore:

1. 

What do you think of this hotel? 

Now this one is very different - an English village house made into a country hotel: 

2.

What do you think of it? 

How about this one - a motel on the beach:

3. 

What do you think of this place? 

What about this one? It's a tropical resort in Thailand:

4. 

Would you like to stay here? 

Now - think about all these different hotels and places. Which one would you like to stay in? Write two (2) sentences about the hotel you like. Give some reasons using because. 

例えば：
I want to stay in hotel #2 because it is very quiet, and looks comfortable and peaceful. I think I can get some good rest in this hotel. 

Have fun!

Hello to all my students,

How are you? Let's learn more about how to describe people (人物を描写).

Homework
Look at these pictures. Write about the people in these pictures. The picture at the top of this post is an example (例えば) :

This person has black shoulder-length hair and dark eyes. She's thin and good-looking. 

Now try to write some extra details about their clothes (洋服がさらに細かい描写): 

She's wearing a black sweater and gray scarf with blue jeans. 

So, your description (描写) can look like this: 

This person has black shoulder-length hair and dark eyes. She's thin and good-looking. She's wearing a black sweater and gray scarf with blue jeans.
