Hello everyone,

When I was looking for a funny commercial about Japanese canned coffee, I found a series of Bud commercial on YouTube. How do you like them?

Professional Development Seminar 2008

Hello friends,

Sorry for posting no messages for ages, but I can clearly recall everyone still now. Actually, I had a chance to talk with SuLing for four hours on an afternoon and talked about many of you. She remembers all the participant's name, face, what she/he did. She has awesome memory.

I wanted to let you know what happened in the seminar this year. The main event, I think, was going to the cave in the mountain. (Thank you, Terry, for driving the huge van.) We could go inside the tunnel which is the source of water in Hawaii. The activities were placed around the central theme of water. Those who couldn't come to Hawaii this year missed the chance of experiencing the exiting tour.

I hope you all keep having wonderful time in teaching and learning English. Oh, by the way, if you have time on the weekend of November 1-3, come to National Olympics Memorial Youth Center in Yoyogi, Tokyo. You can enjoy JALT 2008. http://www.jalt.org/conference

OK. Take care. Don't catch cold. Aloha.

I Took TOEIC Again

Hello everyone,

I hope all of you are having a great spring time now. Cold winter is over and I am enjoying cherry blossoms even here in Akita. Today I received my TOEIC score. It was a little better than the last year's. Pheeew...sweat! I didn't use any test preparation materials this year. The only exception was _Triple Moshi 2_ which is published from The Japan Times. However, I have read many different sort of books since last year. I feel extensive reading really works for improving our language competencies. OK. I hope I'll see you this summer at UH. Take care.
