Hello! How did you spent today, Culture Day? Many kinds of school festivals are held. Did you go there^^?

a: We could go to new web site; "Ferris Online English Lab" at last Friday. I studied listening in ELLO in this site. I listened "grade" which was spoken by Americans. It was about grade of children at school. I was going to try to listen without English text after listen some times but the listening was so difficult and quick that I only just listened with English text. It was different from Net Academy. Net Academy is a program that is made to learn English for Japanese like me, but there are no Japanese in ELLO, and the speakers spoke in a peculiar way each other. There were more words which I could not catch than Net Academy. The speakers are real, but Net Academy is just sound. ... Next I listened "Physical Education" for about thirty minutes include "grade". Physical Education was spoken by American man and Australian woman. They spoke about children don`t have enough time to exercise. They pointed that children are apt to do computer...and etc. These story were interesting but I was sad because I could not understand contents without English text. I depend on text. And there are questions about these stories at side space. It was good to confirm if I could understand their talk. I listened again and again and read text, so I could answer these questions. And I listened and watched some different sites. There were kids animation, historical story animal story and so on. One site has many sites, so I could link a lot of interesting site.

b: I am glad to go to new web site. Ferris Online has some kind of sites which Net Academy has not. I feel that I listen real English. I was surprised to listen real English. It is very important and interesting.

c: I learned new words and phrases in ELLO. And how pronounced by each speaker. There are as many speaking way as there are speakers.

d: I am going to continue listening! To continue is important. And I like listening music, so I will listen Western music. Although ELLO is difficult for me, I want to use this site to develop my skill. There are many many sites that will fit me to learn English. The environment around me is nice. To develop my skill depend on me...!!
