Lesson Report MEL-5 September 17, 2026

 Hello, Class! This is Towako from MEL School.

How are you doing?

This week's ELST Listening required inference again, but you are gradually getting more used to listening for what the speakers really mean, not just the words they say. We also checked some useful grammar and vocabulary and even learned a little about British tea culture from the conversation.

In Q Skills, we reached the final stage of Unit 2, “What is the best way to study?” We reviewed what we have learned about memory, multitasking, and neural connections, and started preparing for the Unit Assignment. This time, the important step was to connect what we learned in the unit with our own study habits.

See you next time!

Towako

ELST

Listening A2.2 #19

You first worked on the listening questions individually and then checked the conversations together.

Once again, some questions required inference. You couldn't always find the answer directly in one sentence. You had to understand the whole situation and think about what the speakers really meant.

These questions are challenging, but you are becoming more familiar with this type of listening!

We also checked important grammar and vocabulary from the conversations and practiced them through pair role-play.

Some of the conversations led us to interesting topics beyond the textbook, including British tea culture. Learning a language also means learning about the culture behind it!

Remember to write new words in My 練習帳 and review them later.

Q Skills for Success Reading and Writing Level 1

Unit 2: What is the best way to study?

Grammar: Simple Past with Regular and Irregular Verbs

(p. 38)

We reviewed the simple past by finding past-tense verbs in the text.

Then, instead of simply checking the grammar, you wrote a three-sentence summary of the text on Google Classroom.

The text reviewed an important idea from this unit: practice and recalling information help us build stronger memories.

We also completed sentences using the correct past forms of regular and irregular verbs and practiced them through pair repeating.

---

Unit Assignment — Write About How You Study

(pp. 39–40)

We returned to the Unit Question:

What is the best way to study?

Before starting the final writing assignment, we reviewed the major ideas we have explored throughout the unit:

Why are repetition and practice important for memory?

Why is multitasking bad for learning?

How do we make strong neural connections in our brain?

We also discussed a useful study method: after studying something, close the book and write down everything you can remember. Then open the book again and check what you remembered and what you missed.

This is different from simply reading the same information again. You are actively trying to retrieve the information from your memory.

---

Planning Your Writing

For the Unit Assignment, you began comparing:

How I studied before learning about the brain
↓
How I am going to study better from now on

You used ideas from the readings, video, and activities in this unit to think about your own learning.

The goal is not just to write about what the textbook taught us. Think about:

What did I learn? → How does it relate to me? → What will I change?

You will use your ideas to plan and write the Unit Assignment.

---

Lesson Review

Today, we practiced:

• making inferences while listening

• learning vocabulary and expressions through context

• using the simple past

• summarizing information in our own words

• reviewing what we learned about memory and effective studying

• connecting new knowledge with our own study habits

• planning a piece of writing using ideas from several sources

As we finish Unit 2, remember that the Unit Question is not just something to answer in a textbook.

Use what you learned to experiment with how you actually study.

Great work today! 🌟
