I was in Seoul Korea for 5 very cold days! Everyone was so curious!
So everyone took turns and asked me a question (while we eat Korean snacks) about my trip and what I felt about the city, people, environment, atmosphere, fashion and of course food. 💛

We discussed the differences between Japan and Korea which lead to my experience visiting aboard and living in other countries. Always be careful going somewhere new!

Thank you for your wonderful questions and interest to my trip stories.

Autumn to winter! Weather has been changing a lot these days~
We did about weather~~~ ☀☔☁☂

How’s the weather? / What’s the weather like today?

It’s sunny! It’s cloudy, it’s rainy, it’s stormy, it’s dry, it’s wet, it’s clear, it’s damp, it’s humid, it’s freezing, it’s boiling!, etc.

Let’s put some verbs!
The sun is shining, the rain is falling down/ it’s raining, it’s snowing, it’s thundering, there’s a lighting! （Thunder = 聞こえる、Lighting = 見える）

We practiced reading temperature (eg. 14 degress Celsius)
Q- What’s the weather like in London?
A- It’s rainy and it’s 6 degrees. It’s cold.

Keep warm everyone! ❆

We practiced the different ways of using the word “Right”.

For example;
-Turn at the right corner.
-He left right away.
-Are you all right?

One more which we use in casual conversation is asking for confirmation;
Q- You going to the VELCO party, right?
A- Right! (Means Yes!)

Q- You went to the Halloween party, right?
A- No, I couldn’t.

Yeah/ yes の代わりにも Right 使えます～
(I use it a lot when I free talk ✌）

We talked about what’s your plan for the coming new year holidays?
Some students has some really good travel plans! Going to Hokkaido, or even Australia to a warmer place! Lucky!

We talked about what you eat to stay warmer and ended up talking about different kinds of soups. Tomato soup, corn soup, mushroom soup, pumpkin soup, even onion soup!

We also talked a little about Christmas and everyone got curious of what ginger bread man (ginger bread cookie) is! I had it just once in my life and didn’t give me a good impression so I’ll try to make it for the coming season! 🍪🎄🍪⛄

It’s getting colder but do make yourself come to VELCO to practice English!

We did about patterns of clothes, things and sizes with adjectives to describe.
Checked, flowered, print, large, small, medium, cheap, expensive, blue, green, high, low, thin, thick, long, short, etc.

We practiced the order of these, for example:

as long as
as far as
長さや距離を表すときに使えますが、それ以外の用法も。

as long asは〜であるならば　　as far asは〜する限り
として使えます。一見、この２つどう違うの？という感じですが、
わかりやすく言うと「条件」を表しているのか、または「範囲」を表しているのかです。

私が知っている限りでは、彼女は働き者です。
これは「私が知っている範囲内では・・・」と同じなので
As far as I know she is hardworking. となります。

赤い花なら何でもいいよ。
「赤であれば」という条件なので
As long as it’s red I don’t mind what flower it is.
となります。

We learnt some new words today! By talking by temptation, craving (something you really want right now, usually for food). One student’s usually breakfast is melon bread and that made me want some during the class. Other’s wanted chocolate, curry rice, etc. We talked about so much food!

We also talked about what’s worth it? So for example, is USJ ticket price worth it?

I went to a Halloween party last night and which I won a competition! So I told my students the amazing experience I had! And we all thought Velco parties should also have some interesting prizes! So we thought over what would be the perfect, everyone will enjoy prize. We got some good ideas, wine bottle, beer package set, restaurant coupons, etc.

I got my students into a spooky mood and asked some Halloween questions about where it came from or why it was celebrated. I was surprised that some students knew! Great knowledge to have and to get the conversation going! 👍
We also discussed what costumes are popular in Japan that they like to wear.

I had students ask me questions about something related to Halloween and we talked about favorite pumpkin dish, favorite horror movie, etc.

What an awesome topic! I am a teacher that really loves Halloween so let’s all enjoy this festive season! HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 🍫🎃🍁

See you soon!
