I had another great lesson with Mark. Thank you!

今日の話題は、流れからペットの遠吠えhowlについてになりました。遠吠えは仲間と連絡を取る手段であり、チェコでは警備のためにみんなが犬を飼っていて、マーク先生が村に買い物に行くとズーと吠え付かれるとか、面白おかしく話してくれました。ちなみにチェコでは毎時間教会が時を知らせるチャイムを流しており、それに遠吠えする犬はいないそう。

マーク先生は、とてもはっきりと明快に喋られます。大手銀行に長くおられたことや、その後先生として多く学ばれたようですし、生徒の言葉にも耳を傾けられる忍耐力もお持ちで、ベスト先生だと思います。そのうえで料金も安くしてくださるので二倍練習できます

I was about to miss today's lesson.
A few hours before the class I remembered it. But when it came I forgot that perfectry.
I was lucky I could have the lesson just for the last 10 minutes,though.

In this lesson we read an article entitled 'The FBI said I was my parents stolen baby - but I found the truth'. I learned new words such as ' trawl', ' doo-wop singer' and 'vanish'. By reading articles, it's interesting to know names of specialist's occupation such as 'investigative journalist' and 'genealogist'.
Thank you as always and see you soon.

In this lesson we continued reading an article entitled 'The FBI said I was my parents stolen baby - but I found the truth'. I learned new words such as 'clash', 'wrestle', and 'swab'. Mark described these definitions clearly with examples so it was easy to understand. Also he helped me guessing the meaning from the context.
Thank you for the lesson.

Today we talked about the article featuring 26-year-old female graduate student who invented a great green idea that changes huge quantity of flower waste from each temple after ceremony into useful products such as essential oil and organic manure. It would also contributive to avoiding river pollution because most flower waste has been discarded in the river. She is now trying to develop the system for actual use. Furbulous! Mark explaind all of my questions for me to understand easily. Thank you Mark as always. See you next lesson!

At the beginning of this lesson, I shared about my 'OBON' holiday last week. Then we started reading a new article entitled 'How I found out my husband had married another woman'. The sentences were not difficult but there were several new expressions for me, such as 'to go out work', 'to bump into',and 'to play (something) card'.
Thank you for an enjoyable lesson and I'm looking forward to the next time! See you soon.

I had today's class 30 minutes before my dinner. So after the class I was going to my dinner with my husband. He was preparing dishes almost every day.
I have been released from making dishes since he retired.
I thank him about cooking for me.I have to give compliments on food he prepared,even if it was not delicious. Today's dishes were very delicious,though.
Anyway Mark's classes are aiways great.

Thank you for helping my IELTS speaking part. I need more lessons to reach the score of 8.5!! Please don't hesitate to correct any mistakes that I make during the lesson! Talk to you soon:)

In this lesson we finished reading an article entitled 'The FBI said I was my parents stolen baby - but I found the truth'. It was an interesting story. There were several new words and Mark described them for me with clear examples. I could remember the definitions better with the way Mark explained for me than find them on dictionary.
Thank you for the lesson and I'm looking forward to the next time. See you soon!

We talked about the article "Third of farmed fruit and veg deemed too ugly to sell". Unexpectedly, a lot of fruit and vegetables have been discarded which are misshapen and worng size. The reason is that customers tend not to buy irregular size or shaped produces. This trend is also seen in Japan. But, actually quite a few customers don't mind shape and size of produces if the quality is same. To select good fruits and vegs, farmers grow excess produces and spend much energy and logistics become complicated. We should accept such produces which are ugly but have standard quality.
Mark explained my unfamiliar words and phrases and suggested the essential points of the article. Especially, I like "wonky" =not straight or level, sounds cool. "go a long way to..",,,etc.
Thank you, Mark for the interesting topic as always. See you next time.

とても明快で、わかりやすい先生です。英語の面接の相談をしましたが、自らの豊富な経験を元に的確に回答してくれました。また、いろいろな例を出して、自信をつけてくれました。大感謝です。ありがとうございます。

Thank you for another great lesson, Mark.

The class for the first time in two weeks was hard for me to even book.
Because I didn't not only take the classes,but also did'nt read English textbooks,nor listening to it for over two weeks.
But I knew I did'nt have to worry at all.
The class was great. Mark relaxed me and I enjoyed the lesson.

We talked about the article "Japan debates daylight saving to avoid heat". When Mark asked me what is the main problem about adopting daylight saving, I described my opinion, which went off the point. I understood his logical explanation about the reason. I realized grabbing main theme of an article correctly is very important to discuss. Thanks, Mark. See you next lesson.

Today, I chose the article about Brexit "What does the government White Paper reveal?" Next March, formally and actually, Brexit is goint effect. But there are still a lot of problems. I don't know the detaliled situation and asked Mark them. He enthsiastically explained me the expected problems. I managed to understand the outline ot the big change of the system. Thank you, Mark for your lecture. See you soon.

Your explaneation is clear and understandable. I'm looking foward to asking from now on. See you soon!!

Today we discussed the article "The UK's four Brexit options". With the UK on course to leave EU on next March, there are still optional courses for UK's future.
From the article, I found there are so many problems for both of UK and EU in process of the Brexit and I wonder UK should have chosen staying in EU. Mark explained to me the examples of potential problems after Brexit. I still have many questions, so asked him to treat this article in next lesson again.
Thank you, Mark and looking forward to talking about it.

Mark gave me a great lesson as always. Thank you!
