Today, I am going to review two of the "typical Japanese junior high school"communicative activities presented in ETM 3. The activities I am going to revieware Interview and Using movement. You can view them here (←click please!).

Improved typical communicative activities

Interview
First, ss make their plans on after school (e.x. shopping, playing, etc…), and repeat interview to another ss. Next, if ss find the other have same plan on interview, he or she make a promise with that student. And all time table are filled with promise, ss sit down his seat. Of coarse if ss have a promise, he must refuse the invitation. Some ss are able to fill in time after school are winner.

Using movement
If I am a teacher, I indicate pretending not half the class but the students who is top of each line. Next, the ss show the pretending to ss sitting back to him. And the movements are continued until last ss receive this pretending, he or she answers the actors what they are doing. On this game, ss group contend for best speed and accurateness of the answer.

Alcohol

One of the most important things for me is Alcohol. Taking alcohol leads me get drunk. Too much drunkenness spends your precious time. But people drink.
I don’t know when I love drinking, it ran after I started this part time job. First, I can drink beer. Next, sometimes I become having wine. Of course I love spirits, now my best beverage is whiskey. I can drink except Sho-tyu. Especially whiskey makes my life calm. That taste sends me mad! It have good aroma, beautiful color, and never tire flavor. It is interesting that differences show by the land. Before all, what long time it is still that taste is made!! The better thing needs more than 10 years, certain bottles needs 30 years. As the case stands, whiskey hangs and never leaves me.
