Example: Shingo meets Emilia. She is walking home from school. Emilia tells Shingo that school is different from the one in Texas.

Shingo and Emilia are talking about cleaning at school. She says she was surprised to learn that the students clean the school in Japan. When Shingo hears that, he wants to say, “Japanese students have to do a lot of cleaning.” He instead says, “Ah. Japanese students … clean …しないと”

Emilia is talking about lunch at her school in Texas. She tells Shingo that they often eat tocos, cheeseburgers, or pizza there. She says that Japanese school lunch is very healthy. She also says, “You don’t have to go to the cafeteria.” Unfortunately, Shingo can’t understand her.

Shingo is talking with Emilia about her Japanese school lunch. She says her favorite school lunch is the thing with meat and potatoes, nikujaga. She also says it is good for students to get extra rice. Shingo wants to say, “That’s true,” but he can’t say it in English.

Lesson Report Advanced May 25,, 2026

Hello, Class! This is Towako from MEL School.

How are you doing?

This time, you explored some big questions about science, technology, and change.

From the atmosphere that protects life on Earth to the way technology is changing our world, you worked on understanding complex ideas, discussing them critically, and expressing your thoughts in English.

At the Advanced level, English is not just a subject to study—it becomes a tool for thinking, questioning, and communicating.

Keep challenging yourselves.

See you next week.

ELST Reading

B1.2 #7 The mechanism of the atmosphere

This time, you worked on a challenging science reading about Earth’s atmosphere and gravity.

You copied the text into your notebooks, studied grammar and vocabulary carefully, and discussed the content with your partner.

The passage explored questions such as:

Why can Earth keep its atmosphere?
How does gravity affect planets?
Why is Earth’s atmosphere important for life?

After discussing the questions, you practiced reading individually to improve both comprehension and fluency.

Advanced reading is not just about understanding words—it is about understanding systems, relationships, and ideas.

Q Skills for Success Reading and Writing -1

Unit 7 Behavioral Science
Is the world changing too fast?

We began a new unit exploring change, technology, and human behavior.

First, you discussed questions in pairs and completed a chart while listening.

Then, you shared your thoughts about the information and compared ideas with classmates.

Reading 1: Technology and Change

Before reading, you worked on vocabulary preparation and checked key words together.

You also learned an important academic reading strategy:

Marking the margins

Strong readers do not read passively. They interact with the text by noticing key ideas, asking questions, and organizing information.

(p. 74-) Lesson 35

This time, you practiced one of the most important MEL-4 skills: retelling.

音声を聞きながらメモを取り、ストーリーの流れを整理して、自分の言葉で説明する練習をしました。

Rather than simply repeating the dialogue, you focused on explaining the situation clearly.

今回は、

Emilia talking about school life in Japan and Texas
differences in school lunch
cleaning at school
moments when Shingo wanted to say something but couldn’t express it in English

などを整理しながら retelling に取り組みました。

ペアでも retelling を行い、相手に伝わるように説明する練習をしましたね。

Lesson Report MEL-5 May 21, 2026

Hello, Class! This is Towako from MEL School.

How are you doing?

It’s May 21st, 2026. It’s wet today.

Even though many of you are still in the middle of your school exams, you worked hard and did a great job! Well done.

I hope you enjoyed interviewing your partner about their childhood. It’s always interesting to learn new things about each other—and using English to talk about real memories makes communication much more meaningful.

Take care of yourselves during this busy season, and don’t forget to get enough rest!

See you next week.

Listening A2.2 #6

This time, you worked on listening comprehension individually and then checked the conversation together.

We also looked at important grammar and vocabulary points to help you understand the conversation more deeply.

After that, you practiced shadowing, focusing on pronunciation, rhythm, and fluency.

Listening carefully and immediately reproducing English helps build stronger communication skills.

She used to be shy but she isn’t any longer.

Vocabulary in Use 1: 時に関する表現

You practiced vocabulary related to time expressions, listened and repeated the words, and completed a short text using the target expressions.

Reading the completed text aloud together helped reinforce both meaning and pronunciation.

Grammar and Communication-1

This time, you reviewed how to use used to to talk about past habits or situations.

First, you listened, caught the meaning, and reproduced the sentences orally.

Then, you completed grammar exercises individually and checked the answers together.

This kind of grammar practice helps turn knowledge into language you can actually use.

Interview Activity

Finally, you interviewed your partner about their childhood using used to.

For example:

Did you use to play outside a lot?
What games did you use to play?
Did you use to be shy?

MEL-5 is about moving beyond short answers and using English for real conversation.

It was great to see you asking questions, listening carefully, and learning more about each other.
