Hello, Class! This is Towako from MEL School.
How are you doing?
This time, you worked on an important Advanced skill: understanding information, identifying different perspectives, and expressing your own ideas clearly.
In today’s world, we constantly receive information from news, social media, AI, and technology. Because of that, it is becoming more and more important not only to understand English but also to think critically about what we read and hear.
Advanced English is not just about language accuracy.
It is about learning how to think, interpret, and communicate thoughtfully.
See you next week.

<Lesson review>ELST Narration
B1.2 #1 News report
This time, you practiced narration using a news report.
Before listening, you copied the hints into your notebook. Then, while listening, you took notes and organized the important information.
After that, you explained the content to your partner in your own words.
Narration practice is not simply repeating information—it is learning how to process information and communicate it clearly.
We also discussed recent news that interested you personally.
Sharing opinions about real-world topics helps connect English learning with your own thoughts and experiences.
Q Skills for Success Reading and Writing -1
Unit 7 Behavioral Science
Is the world changing too fast?
This time, you continued exploring how technology and social change affect human behavior.
First, you checked the UNIT OBJECTIVE and quickly organized your ideas on Google Classroom.
WORK WITH THE READING
You read the article carefully while practicing an important academic reading skill:
marking the margins
Strong readers actively interact with a text by identifying key ideas, questions, reactions, and important information.
After reading, you:
- answered comprehension questions
- shared answers in the chat room
- compared your margin notes with your partner
- discussed differences in interpretation
This kind of discussion helps develop deeper reading comprehension and critical thinking.
You also listened and read along with the article to strengthen fluency and understanding.
CRITICAL THINKING STRATEGY
Identifying point of view
One important focus today was understanding point of view.
When reading articles, it is important to ask:
- Who is speaking?
- What perspective does the writer have?
- What assumptions or values appear in the text?
These questions help readers move beyond simple comprehension toward critical analysis.
