Hello, Class! This is Towako from MEL School.
How are you doing?
The vocabulary in ELST is getting more and more challenging and practical, isn't it? Please review the things you learned when you have time.
This time, you learned about a job that most of you said you would not like to do: being a fisher!
It was interesting to hear your reasons. Many of you said the work looked too hard or physically demanding—and those are understandable opinions.
As we continue studying the future of work, remember that every job has its own challenges and value. Learning about different careers helps us think more deeply about our own future choices.
See you next week!

ELST
Listening A2.2 #8
This time, you practiced ten short conversations individually.
After checking the conversations together, we reviewed important grammar and vocabulary points and then practiced role-playing in pairs.
Role-playing helps you move from simply understanding English to actually using it in communication.
You also practiced shadowing and recorded unfamiliar words in My 練習帳.
Building your own vocabulary notebook is one of the best ways to make new words part of your active vocabulary.
Q Skills for Success Reading and Writing Level 1
Unit 1 What is the future of work?
VIDEO: Working at Sea
This time, you explored the life and work of people who work at sea.
Before watching the video, you discussed the topic with a partner and created a list on Google Classroom.
A. PREVIEW
You shared ideas about working at sea and considered what skills and qualities might be necessary for this type of job.
B. CATEGORIZE / C. IDENTIFY
While watching the video, you categorized information and answered comprehension questions.
This helped you focus on the key ideas rather than trying to understand every word.
WRITE WHAT YOU THINK
Do you want to be a fisher? Why or why not?
You discussed the question with a partner and then wrote your own response in three sentences.
There were many interesting answers, and most students decided that being a fisher was probably not the career for them!
More importantly, you practiced supporting your opinion with clear reasons.
Vocabulary Skill: Word Forms
On page 14, you studied word forms.
Understanding how words change their form is an important skill for reading and writing.
For example:
You watched the vocabulary video, studied the chart, and practiced identifying whether words were being used as nouns or verbs.
This skill will help you become a more efficient reader and a stronger writer.
Lesson Review
Today, we learned not only about fishing as a profession, but also about how words work in English and how to support our opinions with reasons.
As we continue the unit, keep thinking about this question:
What kind of work would you like to do in the future—and why?
