Lesson Report Advanced August 24, 2026

Hello, Class! This is Towako from MEL School.

How was your summer break?

It was great to hear about your summer experiences through your two-minute presentations. You also practiced listening actively by taking notes and sharing which presentations interested or impressed you the most.

We also returned to our regular Advanced Class work—sharing your Psychology essays and practicing relative pronouns through listening, writing, and speaking.

It was a great start after the summer break!

See you next time!

Summer Break Presentation

You prepared a brief presentation about your summer break and used photos to help your classmates understand your experience.

While listening to each presentation, you took notes and thought about what interested you.

Afterward, you shared which presentation impressed you the most and explained why.

The goal was not only to speak, but also to listen with interest and respond to other people's ideas.

Q Skills for Success Reading and Writing -1

Unit 8 Psychology — What are you afraid of these days?

Unit Assignment

We reviewed the writing task and shared the essays you had posted on Google Classroom.

You wrote about a common fear using what you learned throughout the unit, including facts and supporting ideas.

Sharing your writing with the class gave you another opportunity to see how different people approach the same topic.

Bridge Work -3

Chapter 34 Unit 1 Ron has a bike he bought last year.

(p. 135) Vocabulary in Use

#1. 仕事や雇用に関することば

We studied vocabulary related to jobs and employment.

You practiced the pronunciation of the new words, completed the text individually, and checked how the words were used in context.

Relative Pronouns (pp. 130-131)

We continued practicing relative pronouns.

First, you listened to sentences, caught the meaning, reproduced them orally, and typed them in the chat room.

Then, you wrote sentences using relative pronouns and practiced repeating them with a partner.

The goal is to move beyond simply understanding the grammar rule and become able to produce these sentence patterns naturally and quickly.

Great work today! 🌟

Advanced August 8, 2026

 Hello, Class! This is Towako from MEL School.

How are you doing?

This week, you completed the Unit Assignment for our Psychology unit.

Writing is more than putting sentences together. It starts with organizing your ideas, supporting them with facts, and explaining your reasoning clearly.

I was also impressed by the discussion after class about the Time Capsule project. It was great to see everyone thinking seriously about how to make your videos more engaging for an audience.

See you next week!

Q Skills for Success Reading and Writing -1

Unit 8 Psychology

What are you afraid of these days?

Writing Skill: Contrasting Ideas with however

We reviewed how to connect two contrasting ideas using however.

This expression is useful for showing balance in your writing and presenting different perspectives clearly.

You practiced combining sentences to make your writing smoother and more logical.

---

Unit Assignment

Write one or more paragraphs about a common fear.

Before writing, you brainstormed common fears and discussed with a partner whether they were reasonable or unreasonable.

Then, you chose one topic, researched facts about it, and planned your paragraph before writing.

Finally, you checked your work using the Self-Assessment and completed your first draft.

This process—brainstorming, planning, researching, writing, and revising—is exactly how effective academic writing is developed.

---

Time Capsule Discussion

After class, we met with the MEL-5 students to discuss the editing of the Time Capsule videos.

You exchanged ideas about how to organize the videos, communicate your message clearly, and make them interesting for viewers.

Creating a good video requires the same skills as writing: organizing information, considering your audience, and communicating your ideas effectively.

Lesson Report MEL-3 August 8, 2026

Hello, Class! This is Towako from MEL School.

How are you doing?

This week, you continued practicing one of the most important MEL-3 skills: understanding English and explaining it in your own words.

You also imagined scenes before reading and practiced answering questions from memory. These activities help you build the habit of thinking in English instead of translating word by word.

Have a great summer vacation!

Lesson Report MEL-5 August 6, 2026

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.

Q Skills for Success Reading and Writing Level 1

Unit 2

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.
