Everyone has something that they`re best at, and everyone has something that they aren`t,
a big part of growing into a good person is learning to tell what our strengths and weaknesses are,
I`d like you all to ask yourself, What is your greatest strength? maybe you are great at always being on time, or maybe you`re really good at understanding when someone around you is sad and how to help them, or maybe you always keep calm even when it`s stressful.
Also ask yourself, what is your biggest weakness? Maybe you are bad at remembering names, or maybe you worry too much what other people think, or maybe you need more practice listening to understand when someone is speaking.
Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, it just means we have room to grow more too!

Our students seem to have never-ending tests to study for sometimes, and it can be so hard to feel like you have studied enough to be confident for it, Which is a shame because confidence can play such a big part in the score that you get on a test.
Often just before or just after a test I`ll ask my students "how do you feel about this test out of ten?"
frequently students will answer at about a 4 or 5, stating "maybe I will pass, with a low score"
One such student has been working with me to prepare for a difficult test for a long time, the week before he finally sat the test, this student, K, rated himself at only a 3 for confidence, he understood how to answer and had a good grasp on the material. However when he came for class just after the test, I asked again and he said "7! I was dying from too many questions, but I knew the answers!"
Seeing how much more confident he felt in the face of something that had been so nerve wracking was really reassuring. Everyone works so hard and understands so much more than they think they do, they only need to feel more confidence in themself!

Hi,
It's very heartening to see that many of the Aeon students will be continuing their studies here at Amity.
It's also exciting that we will be using the Cambridge Interchange text in some of the classes, a text which I have taught in both the UK and Japan.
I look forward to the upcoming changes.
Best wishes,
Michael.

Many times in my lessons I have found myself explaining to students "this is a very casual expression" or "this is an expression between friends"
Unlike Japanese that has clear distinction between formal and informal language, there aren`t such rules taught in English, there is language considered Business or Formal English, but it is less about the words said and more in the way that they are said.
Even as a native speaker, there have been times where I have sat, staring at an email, or paused mid-conversation to ask myself "what is the formal way to say this?"
It is interesting to step back and think about all the hidden rules in English, but it can make learning the language seem even more overwhelming sometimes!

Recently at our school there a\have been a lot of discussions about moving and travelling, both in Japan and outside it, and many funny stories shared about how different some places can be.
Japan itself, despite being a reatively small country compared to many others, has so many different climates, From Okinawa`s tropical south to Hokkaido`s frosty north, and going furtherm there are the vast desserts of Australia, the rocky mountains of China and the misty moors of Ireland!
Getting the chance to travel far and wide across the world can teach us so much! I hope that all of our students have the chance to see as much of the world as they want to!

みなさんこんにちは！
本日は高校3年生の大学入試二次試験に向けた対策のお話をいたします。
1月に共通テストを終えたTくん。
現在は、大学の過去問題を使用して英作文とグラフ説明問題を練習しています。
英作文は自身の意見を”一般的な人々”を主語にして書くこと、グラフは大事な情報を言葉でまとめること、英語での言い方に苦戦しております。
これは英検2級、準1級の英作文でも重視されていることですね！
この書く力はすぐには上達しないので、長期間練習する必要があります。
共通テストでテストは終わりではないので、早くから準備を始めましょうね！

Many of my students have been curious about Valentines day! How it started, how it's celebrated in other countries.
So I thought I could share some interesting fun facts about the special day of love!
1. The first Valentine’s Day celebration took place in France.
2. Teachers get more valentines than anyone else.
3. 145 million greeting cards are exchanged every year for Valentine’s Day.
4. About 25% of pet owners give Valentine’s Day gifts to their pets.
5. The inventor of candy hearts started out by producing medicinal lozenges.
6. The chocolate box has been around for more than 150 years.
7. Lovebirds are actual birds.
8. 250 million roses are grown just for Valentine’s Day.
9. Valentine’s Day is one of the biggest holidays for giving flowers.
10. In Japan, women give men chocolate for Valentine’s Day.
Fact number 2 is really funny!!
