Today I did trail lesson to get the English teacher's certificate. I've been preparing for this assigment for a week. It would be my culmination of what I've been studying last few years. I had to do a class about "relative pronoun (Who)" and I have to do 40 minutes class. I've done trail lesson in 15 minutes and 20 minutes but this time, it was my first time to a 40 minutes class. Before I do the class, I was very anxious not nervous, because I still didn't remember when and what to say and what to do in which steps.
During the class, the time went by faster then I expected. I finished the class so I still had 10 minutes left. So, I taught what I did this morning.
This is what I did. This morning before I came to school, I went to a convienince store to print out the papers what I'll use in the class. The printer that cost 10 yens to print out one paper. I printed out 30 papers so I payed 500 yens to the machine and I was supposed to have 200 yens as a change but I forgot to take it!! I lost my 200 yens.
So I used this phrase in the class; A: Mr.Sakumoto is a man. B: He forgot to take his changes.
The students will answer "Mr.Sakumoto is a man who forgot to take his changes".
Everyone in the class were having fun and said it was easy to understand what I was teaching. Most people said my class has a power of healing and it was a fun class. I didn't knew I had the power of healing but I glad my class were fun and simple(in the positive way). Finally the class is over and my great weight off of my shoulders.

The Second Day at The Deaf School
Today is the second day and also the final day in Deaf school. Like yesterday I woke up at 5:30... I'm too sleepy and tired. Anyway let me tell you what we did today.
I visited an English class. I couldn't imagine how will the teachers teach English to the deaf students. The answer is simple, they taught by sigh language! ha ha To tell the truth they were studying by using the Japanese sigh language, fingure language and English sigh language. They were using 3 kinds of sign language. I couldn't believe it. The teacher is terrific, the ALT is incredible and the students were fabulous.
I learned many things from this class beacuse the knowledge of "hearing" and "listening" skills are very important part studying of languges. If you can't hear, you can't pronounce the words correctly. But in this class some students could pronouce English well. I though she could pronounce better than the students who can hear in normal high school. She was a bit special, she could hear than the other students so she translated us to each other.
After lunch, I went to my charged students class. She's studying to become a hair dresser. I didn't wrote about this yesterday, but I visited her class and watched her getting perm to the dummy. She let me do it but it was so hard. I was too awkward.
So today she was studying to the exam which will be held this week. The assigment was "Can she shave well?" So everyone looked at me to be the guinea pig. I said "All right" and sat on the chair which looks like a massage chair and started to shave. You may knows if your men and had been shaved by a hair dresser before, they put a steamed towel on our face and it feels so great. I became so sleepy. Sleeping during the practical act is abominable act but the teacher said "If you can sleep you can. If you can suffer from shaving knife, you may.
I didn't sleep.
Maybe.
But she did great well, it didn't hurt at all. I wish she could pass the nation test for the hair dresser and could be the hair dresser.

The first day in Deaf School
Today, We went to Deaf school to have practical trainings. It's an one of the step to get the teachers certificate. The Deaf school is at Kengun so its very far from my house. I had to get up at 5:30!! It's too early that it was still dark. So there was no car in the street.
Before we went to Dead school, we learned about sigh language and the "fingure Japanese". I think most people know what sign languages are look like. On the other hand, "fingure Japanese " is also a kind of sigh language but they figures "a" "i" "u" "e" "o" in diffrent finger. Like the picture below. We figured out our names by using these sigh language. I memorised most of it but when I met the students at the school, I couldn't do it well.
During the classes, lunch time, lunch break and some other time, we mostly communicated by writting the words we want to talk about. It took time and had difficulty but I enjoyed it. They had hard to hear but without that handicap, they were like normal high school students.

W7 My favorite movie
My favorite movie is “Transformer”. Especially I like the “Dark side moon”. There’re three movies and this “Dark side moon” is the third one. It has shown at the theater but maybe it’s already finished screening. The great part of this movie is the graphic and the 3D. It’s so beautiful so that I couldn’t believe that the robots were CG. When I watched the movie at the theater, it was so beautiful. I can’t wait until I can see at home. But there’s one thing that I don’t like. In the movie, the heroine is a different girlfriend. The heroine’s actress has changed from the first two movies. So I felt weird when I watching the movie. I think it would be better if the name of the heroine will be the same though the actress is a different person.

essay 2-03b My university life
In this essay I want to write about my university life. I’m a student of Kumamoto Gakuen University. I’m a second grade student and study English at this university. Every day I have to go to school by car or train. And it takes an hour so if I miss the train I’ll be late even the class starts an hour later.
As I wrote in the first paragraph, I belong to the department studying English. In this department we usually study English and try to develop our own English skills. There’re many facilities to study English. For example, there’s an “English Lounge” where you can’t speak Japanese at all in that room. You can improve your speaking skills and listening skills. However I haven’t been there before. And if you take an exam like TOEIC, you can take the exam much cheaper than taking the exam outside of the university. I’m very satisfied with that but I don’t like the way they draw the prize money to high grader student.
In class we study the 4 skills of English like reading, writing, speaking and listening. In the first grade we studied the grammar. It was like review of the high school English. Sometimes we also study about American and England literature. I like the way how American story ends, the main character will always have been killed or suicide at the last. But I’m not so interested in literature. I can’t remember who wrote what and the masterpiece of that writer.
I also study how to become an English teacher. In this curriculum, we study many things. For example, we study the constitution of Japanese education. We read the constitution and understand what it shows. It tells very simple so you have to read very hard. We also study about the guideline of education. We have to remember what it is and what is written about. Finally we also learn how to study English. This is the most important thing. It’s very difficult to teach English to junior high school student easier. There’s many ways just to teach one word. You can say the same thing to other skills. I did some micro teaching in this curriculum. I got very nervous and I thought I was going to die.
Now I want to write about clubs and circles. I Don’t belong to any clubs or circles. Because I heard that every week we have to drink and use a lot of money to many things. I didn’t think I have enough money and first of all I can’t drink much as everyone else can. So I can use that time and money to other things like the assignments. I have a lot of homework to do so if I belong to a club or circles. I think I won’t have enough time to do it.
Finally I don’t have part-time job now. I used to have one but the company was very company. They don’t treat the customer as a “god”. I’m the one who is going to be complained from the customer. So I quit. I want it but I’m too busy in last few weeks so I don’t need it. Although I want some money.
