I believe in family ties.

I believe in family ties

I believe in family ties.

I believe in family ties. I’m a family of four and I live all by myself in Tokyo now.

My mother and father call everyday because they worry about me.My sister teaches me many things, for example, how to solve trouble such as the relationship of friends or my boyfriend.

They do many things for me.My parents pay very expensive school fees for me.My sister always takes sides with me.

I can live by the grace of their support and I can feel real love from my family even we have along distance between us.

Luckily, my family is also growing. My sister gave birth to a baby in September 25th last year.I have a very cute niece. Of course, I would do anything for her.

Even if all my friends betrayed me, my family wouldn’t leave me.

So, I think that family ties are the strongest love.This is the reason why I believe in family ties.

If I am married with someone, and I have children, I can realize it more than now.I want my children to feel the same love that I feel now.

But I have to find a cool guy before that!

Hi! My name is Yoko.
This time I want to talk about the big big earthquake and tsunami which occurred in Japan this spring.
It was March 11th; a day I remember so clearly.
Now, in Japan it is called 3.11, like 9.11 in the US. It means that the disaster was so big that we can compare the two – of course one was natural and the other manmade.

On this subject,  I interviewed  Aaron from Guam and Nicole from Kansas,  both from U.S.

I asked what was going on around them at the time.

Let’s have listen! Continue reading

Assignment 4 – Pronunciation passage

As part of your overall grade (20%), you must practice and record a pronunciation passage. You can choose British or American English to listen to. The passage contains most of the sounds of standard English and is used by many speech coaches for people learning accents and dialects.

The North Wind and the Sun were disputing which was the stronger, when a traveller came along wrapped in a warm cloak. They agreed that the one who first succeeded in making the traveller take his cloak off should be considered stronger than the other. Then the North Wind blew as hard as he could, but the more he blew the more closely did the traveller fold his cloak around him, and at last the North Wind gave up the attempt. Then the Sun shone out warmly, and immediately the traveller took off his cloak. And so the North Wind was obliged to confess that the Sun was the stronger of the two.
