Lesson Report MEL-5 October 29, 2026

 Hello, Class! This is Towako from MEL School.

How are you doing?

This week, we continued Unit 3: How does social media change the way we travel? in Q Skills.

Our main focus was critical thinking: identifying pros and cons. We discussed how travel bloggers and influencers can help us discover new places, but may also create unrealistic expectations by showing only the positive side of travel.

We also practiced expressing our opinions in writing, using specific reasons and examples to support our ideas.

See you next week!

<Lesson Review>

ELST Listening A2.2 #25

We practiced listening individually, checked the conversation together, and reviewed useful vocabulary and expressions before pair role-play.

Some expressions we discussed included:

  • I hate to tell you, but ... — Used when introducing disappointing or unwelcome news.

  • pick someone up — To collect someone by car.

  • half past one — 1:30.

Remember to write unfamiliar words and expressions in My 練習帳, together with their meanings in context.

Q Skills for Success Reading and Writing 1

Unit 3: How does social media change the way we travel?

Reading 2: Travel Bloggers — The Good and the Bad (pp. 49–52)

We listened to and reviewed the article, examining both the benefits and drawbacks of travel blogs.

Global Skills — Critical Thinking: Identifying Pros and Cons

We organized the information into two categories:

ProsCons
Discover new destinationsUnrealistic expectations
Get useful travel tipsImportant problems may be left out
Learn about different experiencesPopular destinations may become overcrowded

We also discussed how beautiful photographs do not always tell the whole story. A hotel or destination may look wonderful online but turn out to be quite different in reality.

D. COMPOSE — Supporting Your Opinion

We considered:

Do you read travel blogs to make travel plans? Why or why not?

The important skill was to use information from the article to support our answers, rather than simply saying yes or no.

Write What You Think

We discussed two questions:

  1. What is the most interesting fact you learned in this article?

  2. Do influencers affect your decisions about where to travel?

One interesting example was how an influencer's recommendation inspired Momoka to try traditional Thai clothing during a trip to Thailand.

We practiced organizing our responses into three sentences:

Topic Sentence → Supporting Detail → Specific Example

When revising your writing, avoid vague expressions such as specific details. Explain exactly what you mean.

Also, remember that Thai is the adjective we use in expressions such as Thai food and traditional Thai clothing.


Lesson Review

Reminder: Please confirm that you need to attend the proficiency test scheduled for Monday, November 16, 8:00–9:00 PM.

今回は助動詞の説明を聞きました。少し難しいですが、助動詞はその文章の意味を少し変える役割があり、その後の動詞は原型になることを確認しましたね。

Lesson Report Advanced October 28, 2026

 Hello, Class! This is Towako from MEL School.

How are you doing?

This week, we started ELST Speaking B1.2 and continued Unit 2: Psychology in Q Skills.

Our main focus was getting meaning from context—an essential reading skill that helps us understand unfamiliar vocabulary without immediately looking up every word.

We also explored how companies use colors to influence customers' feelings and perceptions. It was interesting to see how color choices can communicate a company's identity and values!

See you next week!

<Lesson Review>

ELST Speaking B1.2 #1

We listened to the conversation, answered questions, and practiced pair role-play.


Q Skills for Success Reading and Writing 2

Unit 2: Psychology — How do colors affect our behavior?

Reading Skill: Getting Meaning from Context (p. 30)

We practiced guessing the meanings of unfamiliar words by examining the surrounding information.

Our target vocabulary included variety, nature, robe, uniforms, reliable, and shades.

For example:

  • variety: a range of different types

  • robe: a long, loose piece of clothing

  • reliable: someone or something you can depend on

We then checked our definitions using English-English dictionaries.

Context → Prediction → Dictionary Check

The goal is to develop the ability to understand words independently while reading.

Reading 2: Company Colors (pp. 31–32)

We reviewed vocabulary related to advertising and branding, including emotion, product, quality, responsible, steady, and trust.

Then we discussed familiar companies and explored how their brand colors communicate different messages.

Some examples from the article included:

  • Coca-Cola: Red suggests energy and excitement.

  • Emirates: Gold communicates richness and a sense of luxury.

  • Aramco: Blue and green suggest nature, stability, and responsibility.

  • Samsung: Blue helps communicate trust and quality.

We also discussed why warm colors may encourage quick purchasing decisions, while blue is often used by banks to suggest reliability.

These examples helped us understand how psychology can influence everyday business decisions.
