Hello, Class! This is Towako from MEL School.
How are you doing?
This week, we explored an important question:
Is doing many things at the same time really an effective way to study?
We learned that our brains work best when we focus on one thing at a time. This idea connects directly to how we study English at MEL—by listening carefully, thinking deeply, and practicing repeatedly.
See you next time!

Listening A2.2 #15
This time, you practiced ten short conversations.
Some of the conversations were quite challenging because they contained several pieces of information that were easy to confuse.
After checking the grammar and vocabulary together, you practiced role-playing in pairs.
Don't worry if you found some conversations difficult. Carefully organizing information while listening is an important skill that improves with practice.
Remember to add unfamiliar words to My 練習帳 and review them regularly.

What is the best way to study?
Reading 2: One Thing at a Time
Before reading, you learned new vocabulary and practiced skimming, an important reading strategy for quickly understanding the main idea of a text.
You also discussed which activities you can do at the same time and which require your full attention.
As you read the article, you gathered information and identified its main idea:
Multitasking is bad for learning.
We discussed how focusing on one task at a time helps us learn more effectively than trying to do several things at once.
This idea is especially important when studying English. Concentrating on one task, reviewing regularly, and practicing consistently will help you make steady progress.
