Japan Trip

Jacky and Nick went to Japan last week. It was their first time and they were looking for places in Tokyo city. At the airport, they were given a map. They saw the tourist spots and places they could eat. The city was big and they were scared that they might get lost.

It was good that their hotel is next to the restaurant. They ate their lunch. Jacky ate sushi while Nick ate noodles. After eating, they went to the bank to change their U.S dollars to Japanese yen. When they got their money, they stopped at an ice cream shop and went back to their hotel.

Answer the questions below.

1. Who went to Japan?
   
2. Which city did they stay?
   
3. What did they get at the airport?
   
4. What is next to their hotel?
   
5. Where did they change their U.S dollars to Japanese yen?

ものすごく簡単だったよ〜
と言う方もいらっしゃると思うのですが

実はここからが一番大切なところです！

あなたが読んで理解する事ができたストーリーを

他の人に伝える事ができますか？

そこで、２行目の赤い文字で書いた

・read out loud and be aware of your pronunciation.

いわゆる「音読」が、大切になる訳です。

ディベートやご自身の意見を伝えるのが苦手な方は
結構いらっしゃると思うのですが（私も！）

もし日本語ですら意見を言うのが苦手だとしたら
英語でいきなり話せと言われると
パニックに陥ってしまうかもしれません！

今はまだ自分の意見を英語にするのは
簡単ではないにしても
普段から音読の練習をする事で
多くの単語やフレーズを覚える事ができます♪

Practice makes perfect!!
