Hello, Class! This is Towako from MEL School.
How are you doing?
This week, we started our new textbook, Q Skills for Success Reading and Writing 2!
The new level was a little challenging, but that is exactly what we expected. The texts are longer, the vocabulary is more advanced, and you need to think more deeply about what you read.
Our first question is very relevant to our everyday lives:
Can you believe what you read online?
As you work through this new level, remember: Don't try to understand every word. Focus on the content and think about what the writer is trying to tell you.
See you next time!

Q Skills for Success Reading and Writing -2
Unit 1 Communication and Media
Can you believe what you read online?
We started by discussing our own experiences with the Internet and thinking about why some information online may not be true.
You also listened to The Q Classroom and discussed whether getting information online can sometimes cause problems.
Reading 1: Staying Safe Online
This was our first reading in the new textbook.
After studying the key vocabulary, you listened to the article and worked on several comprehension tasks. You had to identify important information and explain ideas from the text.
The new level was challenging because simply finding familiar words was not enough. You needed to follow the context and understand how the information in the article was connected.
As the texts become more difficult, this will become increasingly important.
Write What You Think
Finally, you discussed:
What are some good ways to stay safe online?
and
Have you ever had a problem like one of the people in the text? What happened?
After exchanging ideas with your classmates, you chose one question and wrote your own response.
Reading is not just about understanding what someone else has written. Think about the content, connect it to your own knowledge and experiences, and express your own ideas.
The new textbook is a step up, but we'll take it one step at a time!
