 Masanori's Lecture
Masanori's lecture was on the many uses of the word "drive."
We studied conversation situations.
Situation 1.
Okuyama (newcomer) wants to make a cell-phone contract in a shop. The salesclerk is Doug, the computer teacher.
Situation 2.
Masako talked about a friend. The friend is Doug.
Situation 3.
Koji orders lunch in a shop. The waiter is Doug.
Masanori's advice: You should ask a shopkeeper questions until you understand, and decide. 解るまで相手に質問しなさい。
 Doug's Lecture
We were not able to connect with Myles and Rosalie from New York at the usual time. But they did say hello when Doug came to the classroom. We missed the usual visit though and look forward to next time!
