大切なのは、英語の応用力と実践力
かつて、中学校の英語のテストは“丸暗記”で点数を取れました。保護者様の世代もそうだったのではないでしょうか…？
ですが英語は言語です。丸暗記の英語ではネイティブや外国人との対話はできません。
大切なのは、英語を話す「経験値・実践力」を上げることです。
アミティーでは英語で先生が話しかけてくれます。
「今日の給食はなんだったの？」「部活楽しかった？」「中間テストどうだった？」
教科書にはない子供たちの“等身大の会話”がここにはあります。アミティーで英語を身近に感じながら、英語力を養いましょう！
Global warming
Global warming is an issue that affects everyone, hence the term global. The increase in carbon emissions and green house gases are having a detrimental impact on the Earth and its temperatures. These effects seem small and as though they do not directly impact the lives of ordinary people but they in fact do.
At the start, the ice caps are slowly melting away. Studies have shown that by 2040, there will be no ice caps left in the Arctic. This greatly impacts the animals and wildlife that rely on the ice in order to survive. Now, this may seem like an issue that has little to no impact on the lives of ordinary people but the ice caps melting means change in water temperatures all over the world. This will impact food sources of not only animals but also humans as we rely on the ocean for some of our food.
The melting of the ice caps is an effect of the continuous heating of the Earth. This causes climate change in places we really don't want the climate to change. This affects agriculture on an extreme level. Droughts and famine spread through farms and affect the food sources which in turn creates scarcity which affects the prices of goods and this directly impacts ordinary people.
Global warming is a serious problem that is really not discussed enough, change can happen. It is reversable but we need to promote change.

Tipping culture
Tipping culture is common in almost every country in the world. The idea of tipping is to show gratitude to the person providing the service, this is usually in the form of money. Countries like the US have really extreme tipping policies with establishments requesting between 15 and 20% on average.
In Japan tipping is not common and even more so it is not accepted in most places. Servers work on the principal of おもてなし or hospitality rather than rewards. Hospitality is expected and thus should not be rewarded.
Sea shanties
Sea shanties are song sung by sailors on long voyages. These were used as a way to lift spirits on long trips across the seas when the sailors were feeling their lowest. It was also a great way to keep a steady mind while completing tasks that required constant repetition.
In every crew there was a Shantyman. It was his job to start the song and everyone else would follow the rhythm. The songs would last a few seconds and when they came to an end the men knew they were allowed to take a short break to catch their breath before starting all over again. These songs were usually retelling of funny stories.
