Hello, Class! This is Towako from MEL School.
How are you doing?
This time, you worked on two important Advanced skills: understanding complex information and communicating it accurately to someone else.
Whether you are reading about geography, interviewing a partner, or reporting information, the key is not simply understanding English. The real challenge is organizing information and expressing it clearly.
That is exactly the kind of skill that becomes increasingly important in high school, university, and beyond.
See you on Wednesday!

ELST Reading
B1.2 #8 The Alps: More Than Just Mountains
This time, you read a passage about the Alps and their influence on Europe.
You copied the text into your notebook, studied grammar and vocabulary, and answered comprehension questions.
The passage explored topics such as:
how the Alps were formed
how they affect Europe's climate
how they have influenced transportation, culture, and history
After checking your understanding, you practiced reading individually to improve fluency and accuracy.
As Advanced learners, it is important not only to understand the content, but also to identify how ideas are connected throughout a text.
Bridge Work -3
Chapter 33 Unit 1
Please tell me where you are from.
(p. 116) #4
You completed the text spontaneously together.
#5 Partner Interview and Reporting
This activity focused on indirect questions and reporting information.
First, you interviewed a partner using indirect question patterns.
Then, you moved to a new partner and reported what you had learned about the previous partner.
This kind of activity develops an important real-world communication skill: gathering information and accurately passing it on to others.
Grammar and Communication-4
Continuous Passive
You listened to the target sentences, caught the meaning, reproduced them orally, and typed them in the chat room.
Afterward, you opened the textbook and checked the language forms.
This time, you practiced passive voice in a variety of tenses, including continuous forms.
Rather than memorizing rules, you focused on noticing how the forms change depending on time and context.
Exercise-2
You worked together on the exercises and practiced converting active and passive forms orally in pairs.
The goal was to build automaticity so that these structures can be used naturally in communication.
