LETTER FROM HAPPY ENGLISH SCHOOL Dec. 10th,2019

Hello. How are you? It has been well into the middle of the final month in 2019. I am sure that you have achieved a lot in English study this year because you have studied at Happy English School. When it comes to studying English, the best way to improve your English is to use it by seizing any opportunity to speak and write. You need to even create as many opportunities to speak and write as you can.

We teachers talk to you in English, and if you do not know how to respond to it, we usually give you appropriate responses. You should write down all the words and expressions you get from conversations with the teachers and try to use them from then on. You need to practice saying them a few times until they come out of your mouth really naturally.

You need to keep a diary and write essays to improve your writing. You should get used to writing your experiences and ideas at times. I have to suggest that your topics should shift from personal matters to social matters. You should try using new words and expressions, write about more challenging topics and get your teachers to check them to see if your writing is right and natural. It is important to realize your mistakes at an early stage because it becomes harder to correct them after you have got into a habit of the wrong use-nip misuse in the bud. In addition, you should learn grammar to make accurate English. It matters how accurately you can write in order to convey your messages as you truly mean, so keep in mind the words’ Practice makes perfect’ especially with good coaches close at hand at Happy English School.

１年の終わり１２月。今までの英語の学習の成果を英検やTOEIC、ジュニア英検などを受けて見極めてみましょう。英語で何が理解でき、何を発信することができるようになったか、テストである程度のことがわかり、学習の過程で、目標を持って英語学習を進めていくと、また具体的にご自分の英語力アップのために何をすればよいか目に見える形で表れてきます。

あまりよくない結果であっても気にするなと言っても、落ち込んでいやになることもあるでしょうが、足らないところを何とかすることで、英語力がついていくものです。’Practice makes perfect.’ (練習は完全に通じる)　悪い結果を’A blessing in disguise.’（不幸に見えて実はありがたいもの、つらいが後でためになる事、そこにとどまらず、実際にそれからもっと努力することに繋がるので…）ととらえて更にしっかりたくさんの英語を見て聞いて読んで書いて話して、知らないことを覚え、わからないところを理解し、できないことを出来るようにしていく練習を積みましょう。
