Lesson Report MEL-5 September 24, 2026

 Hello, Class! This is Towako from MEL School.

How are you doing?

This week, we completed Unit 2: “What is the best way to study?” in Q Skills. Over the past few months, we have learned about memory, multitasking, and neural connections. This time, you brought all of those ideas together and thought about one important question: How can I actually improve the way I study?

You discussed the ideas with a partner, shared your understanding with the class, and then used what you learned to write about your own study habits. This is the final step of the unit: not just understanding information, but applying it to yourself and expressing your ideas in English.

See you next time!

Towako

Listening A2.2 #20

You first worked on the listening questions individually and then checked the conversations together.

We studied several useful words and expressions from the conversations, including vocabulary related to ships and airplanes, such as aboard, take off, and land. We also looked at some grammar points, including different uses of as.

After understanding the conversations, you practiced them through pair role-play.

When you meet an unfamiliar word, don't stop at its Japanese meaning. Pay attention to the situation in which it is used and try to connect the word with an image or context.

Remember to add new words to My 練習帳!

Q Skills for Success Reading and Writing Level 1

Unit 2: What is the best way to study?

Unit Assignment — Write About How You Study

We returned to the three important questions from this unit:

Why are repetition and practice the secret to a good memory?

Why is multitasking bad for your memory?

How do we make strong neural connections in our brain?

First, you went back to the readings and video to find the information you needed. Then you discussed the questions with a partner and shared your ideas with the class.

The main ideas are connected:

Repetition and practice → Stronger neural connections → Better memory

When we multitask, however, we cannot give our full attention to what we are learning. That makes it harder to learn and remember information effectively.

The important skill here is synthesizing: bringing information from different texts and activities together to understand a larger idea.

---

Writing: How Has Your Studying Changed?

Next, you used what you learned to think about your own study habits.

You compared:

What I did before I learned about the brain
with
What I am going to do to study better

You then worked on your Unit Assignment for Google Classroom.

In your writing, try to use the skills we practiced throughout Unit 2:

• give specific examples from your own experience

• connect ideas using but and so

• use the simple past when writing about what you did before

• explain what you are going to change and why

This assignment brings together everything we have practiced in the unit:

Read → Understand → Discuss → Connect → Write

The goal is not to repeat the textbook. Use what you learned from the readings and video to reflect on your own learning and make your own decisions about how to study better.

---

Monthly Review

Finally, you reflected on your learning this month.

Think about:

What did I improve?
What is still difficult for me?
What do I want to improve next?
What can I do to make that happen?

Learning English takes time. Reading faster, understanding vocabulary in context, speaking more naturally, and writing clearly all require repeated practice.

And that connects perfectly with what we learned in Unit 2!

Practice doesn't just help you remember English — practice changes how your brain learns.

Great work this month! 🌟
