Lesson report Advanced June 3, 2026

 Hello, Class! This is Towako from MEL School.

How are you doing?

This time, you explored an interesting question:

Is the world really changing too fast?

While technology, fashion, and lifestyles may change rapidly, some aspects of human nature remain surprisingly constant.

As Advanced learners, it is important not only to understand a text, but also to think about the writer's message and compare it with your own experiences and opinions.

See you next week.

ELST Narration

B1.2 #2 A Promotional Campaign for a Safe Society

This time, you practiced narration using a passage about a community campaign promoting safety and cooperation.

First, you copied the hints into your notebook and took notes while listening.

Then, you explained the content to your partner in your own words.

Afterward, we checked the script together and studied important vocabulary and expressions, including words related to campaigns, volunteering, emergencies, and public events.

Narration practice helps develop an important skill: understanding information and then communicating it clearly to someone else.


Q Skills for Success Reading and Writing -1

Unit 7 Behavioral Science
Is the world changing too fast?

Reading 2: Some Things Never Change

Before reading, we reviewed the unit objective and discussed the main question of the unit.


PREVIEW THE READING

Vocabulary

You studied key vocabulary and completed the sentences individually before checking the answers together.

Understanding important vocabulary before reading helps readers focus on ideas rather than individual words.


Preview Discussion

You looked at the photo and discussed how long ago it might have been taken.

This activity encouraged you to make predictions before reading and activate your background knowledge.


WORK WITH THE READING

You read a personal essay exploring the idea that, despite rapid technological and social change, some aspects of human life remain the same.

During the reading, you worked on several different reading skills:

  • identifying important information

  • finding evidence in the text

  • making inferences

  • interpreting the writer's message

You shared answers in the chat room and compared ideas with your classmates.


Reading Skills Focus

One important focus of today's lesson was inference.

Strong readers do not simply understand what is written directly. They also use clues from the text to understand ideas that are implied but not explicitly stated.

This is a key skill for university entrance exams, academic reading, and real-world communication.

Review: Shadowing. => Review the example. => Students try retelling in pairs.

 

Example: Shingo is talking to Annisa at a café. She is watching a soccer game on her smartphone. When she asks him if he is busy, Shingo wants to say, “I’m meeting a friend here later.” He can’t choose the right expression.

Shingo is talking with Annisa about soccer. They are talking about Japan and America’s women’s soccer. She asks him if he goes abroad often. When Shingo hears that, he wants to say, “I went to America to film a TV show last year.” He can’t choose the right expression.

Shingo and Annisa are watching Japan’s national team game on a smartphone. The sports announcer says Japan’s supporters are cleaning up their area of the stands. He also says, “It’s good for everyone to help out.” Unfortunately, Shingo can’t understand the last part clearly.

Shingo and Annisa are talking about women’s soccer. She says women’s soccer is becoming popular little by little in Indonesia. She also says female soccer players can be a great inspiration for young girls. Shingo can’t understand the last part, so he wants to say, “Say that last part again,” but he can’t say it in English.

Lesson Report Advanced June 1, 2026

 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.
