Lesson Report MEL-5 November 5, 2026

 Hello, Class! This is Towako from MEL School.

How are you doing?

This week, we completed ELST Listening A2.2 #26, the final listening exercise at this level!

In Q Skills, we focused on two important skills: digital literacy and reading information from charts, graphs, and tables.

We also watched a travel vlog filmed at Anchor Bay in New Zealand and practiced understanding information presented through video.

Remember, reading English is not just about understanding sentences. It's also about interpreting information and thinking critically about what we see and hear.

See you next week!

<Lesson Review>

ELST Listening A2.2 #26

We practiced listening individually, checked the conversation together, and reviewed useful vocabulary and expressions before pair role-play.

Some expressions we discussed included:

• pack / unpack — Put things into / take things out of a suitcase.

• take a deep breath — Breathe in deeply, often to relax.

• How come ...? — An informal way to ask "Why ...?"

• a quarter after three — 3:15

Remember to record unfamiliar words and expressions in My 練習帳, together with their meanings in context.

Q Skills for Success Reading and Writing 1

Unit 3: How does social media change the way we travel?

Global Skills: Digital Literacies (p. 51)

We discussed how to use digital information safely and critically.

When reading travel blogs or social media posts, ask yourself:

• Who created this information?

• Why was it published?

• Can I trust the source?

Beautiful photographs and positive reviews do not always tell the whole story!

Reading Skill: Reading Charts, Graphs, and Tables (pp. 52–53)

We practiced interpreting three types of visual information:

• Bar graphs: Compare quantities across categories.

• Pie charts: Show how a whole is divided into parts.

• Tables: Organize information into rows and columns.

We examined survey results about popular travel destinations and a table showing cities with the most international visitors.

Before answering questions, remember to check the title, labels, numbers, and units.

The goal is to understand what the data actually tells us, rather than simply picking out numbers.

Video: Ruaridh's Vlog — Taking Photos at Anchor Bay (p. 54)

We watched a vlog about photographing surfers at Anchor Bay in New Zealand.

Some interesting details included:

• Ruaridh used a zoom lens to photograph surfers from a distance.

• He used his knee to support the camera because he had left his tripod at home.

• The surfers wore wetsuits to stay in the water longer.

• He also photographed the surrounding natural scenery.

We completed comprehension and summary activities to organize the information from the video.

 Hello, Class! This is Towako from MEL School.

How are you doing?

This week, we continued Unit 2: Psychology — How do colors affect our behavior? in Q Skills.

We explored how companies use colors to attract customers and make their brands memorable. We also practiced an important academic skill: restating ideas in our own words.

Remember, good English doesn't have to be complicated. Being able to explain a complex idea in simple, clear English shows that you truly understand it!

See you next week!

ELST Speaking B1.2 #2

We listened to the conversation, answered comprehension questions, and practiced pair role-play.

Our discussion question was:

Do you do anything to protect the environment?

Try to explain what you do and why it matters, using specific examples.

Q Skills for Success Reading and Writing 2

Unit 2: Psychology — How do colors affect our behavior?

Reading 2: Company Colors (pp. 32–33)

We reviewed the article through listening and shadowing, then worked on three activities:

• IDENTIFY: Find the main idea of the article.

• CATEGORIZE: Organize information about companies, their brand colors, and the meanings those colors suggest.

• COMPOSE: Describe the relationship between a company's colors and its brand image.

The main idea was that companies choose colors to attract attention and help customers recognize and remember their brands.

We discussed our answers with partners and practiced explaining the information in our own words.

Global Skills: Critical Thinking — Restating (p. 34)

Restating means expressing the same idea using different words or sentence structures without changing its meaning.

For example:

Original:

Companies use colors to influence how customers feel about their products.

Restated:

Businesses choose colors to change people's impressions of what they sell.

A good restatement should be:

• Accurate: Keep the original meaning.

• Clear: Use simple, understandable language.

• Original: Express the idea in your own words.

We practiced rewriting sentences, sharing our answers, and evaluating which versions communicated the meaning most effectively.

Remember: Simple English is not necessarily easy English! Explaining an idea clearly requires a solid understanding of its meaning.

Vocabulary in Context (p. 34)

We also practiced choosing appropriate vocabulary based on the surrounding context.

One useful grammar point:

• special is an adjective.

• Say something special, not a special, when referring to something unusual or important without naming a specific noun.

2 min. Talk & Presentation

今回のテーマは、

How long does it take from your house to MEL School?

It takes about 20 minutes by bike.

Bridge Work 1

Chapter 10｜Grammar and Communication 2（pp. 164–166）

1. 場所を表す前置詞（pp. 164–165）

場所や位置関係を英語で説明する練習をしました。

例えば、

• in — ～の中に

• on — ～の上に

• under — ～の下に

• next to — ～の隣に

2. 方向を表す副詞（p. 165）

移動する方向を表す言葉を学習しました。

場所を表す表現と組み合わせることで、より具体的に状況を説明できるようになります。

beの意味が分かりましたか？

3. Conversation Practice（p. 166）

Exercise #3・#4では、英文や会話を完成させたあと、ペアでRole-playをしました。

今回は特に、英文を見て理解するだけでなく、相手とやり取りしながら使うことを意識しました。

Listen → Understand → Reproduce → Communicate!

Verbs to Learn #19（p. 167）

教科書を閉じて音声を聞き、動詞表現を確認したあと、教科書の空欄を完成させました。

単語は日本語訳だけでなく、英文の中でどのように使われるかを意識して覚えましょう。

 Hello, Class! This is Towako from MEL School.

How are you doing?

This week, we continued Chapter 34 of Bridge Work -3, focusing on relative clauses, verb tenses, and how to express ideas accurately and naturally.

We also practiced vocabulary related to applications and participation, worked with everyday conversations, and explored how different grammatical structures can express similar meanings.

Our goal was to move beyond understanding grammar rules and become more confident using them in real communication.

See you next week!

ELST Listening B1.2 #1

We listened to the conversation, answered comprehension questions, and checked important expressions before practicing pair role-play.

Remember to pay attention not only to individual words but also to the speaker's intentions and the context of the conversation.

Bridge Work -3

Chapter 34 Unit 2: She is the girl I've been talking about.

Vocabulary in Use (p. 143)

We reviewed vocabulary related to applications and participation, completed the text, and practiced pair repeating.

The aim was to understand how these expressions are used in context rather than memorizing isolated words.

Paraphrasing and Relative Clauses (p. 141)

We studied different ways of expressing similar ideas and reviewed relative pronouns, including who, whom, whose, and which.

We also discussed the difference between defining and non-defining relative clauses.

Remember that commas can change how a relative clause contributes to the meaning of a sentence.

Grammar and Communication 3 (p. 142)

We practiced using relative clauses with appropriate verb tenses.

After listening and reproducing the sentences orally, we typed them in the chat room and completed two conversation exercises.

The key was to understand when an action happens and how the verb tense relates to the rest of the sentence.

We also reviewed the use of the passive voice to describe facts and processes.

Typing Practice｜正確な英文を作ろう！

日本語を見て英文をTypingし、文法や表記のルールを確認しました。

1. have / has と否定文

My dad has an old bicycle.

It has a bell, but it doesn't have a lock.

主語が he / she / it のときは has を使いますが、否定文では doesn't have になります。

また、but で2つの文をつなぐ場合は、カンマの位置にも注意しましょう。

2. 複数形と冠詞

Ken has new jeans and shoes.

The jeans are black, and the shoes are brown.

jeans は複数形で使う単語です。また、すでに登場した特定の物を指すときは the を使います。
