staff Presenter: Mr. Fukumoto Genre: Discussion & Game Title: How Much Would You Pay? Description: This activity is designed to improve your listening and speaking skills. This activity has two stages. In the first stage, you read descriptions and answer the questions about your sense of value. Then, you show your answer to other members of your group, and share sense of value of all members. The information would be a key in the next stage. In the second stage, you read descriptions and answer the questions as you have answered in the previous stage. Then, you estimate the third (or second, forth, …, etc.) largest price in your group based on the standard of value of group members, which you may get in the previous stage. You find the third largest price in your group by opening the price of all members. You obtain your score as the gap of your price and the third largest price. The score is added question by question. Finally, if you get the minimum total score in your group, you are the winner in your group. tag:www.kyoto-ess.org,2010:/blog//1.242 2010-08-22T14:57:14Z 2010-08-22T14:57:44Z

staff Presenter: Mr. Oku Let’s learn current English from the newspapers. How often do you read English newspapers? I imagine you would do so occasionally when you need English training or feel hungry of them. Indeed, everyday, a lot of current, idiomatic, and up-to-date words and phrases are printed in the reports of world-wide and domestic news. Today’s practice is composed of four steps: (1) Read colloquial English phrases and words that are excerpted from newspapers (10 min). (2) Write creatively more than a few English sentenses of your own by using the words and phrases printed in italicized letters (20 min). (3) Present them and talk on them in each group (20 min). (4) In the last 10 min, select 2 or 3 interesting products and show them to us all. Let’s start and enjoy! tag:www.kyoto-ess.org,2010:/blog//1.241 2010-08-22T14:56:22Z 2010-08-22T14:56:48Z
