Let's get singing

Hello Tower English kids! Here's a video of Stand By Me, sung by John Lennon of the Beatles. But this video has the words. Get practising, because YOU will be singing it at the end of our speech day in July! 

レッスンで約束していたStand by meです。宿題は毎日聞くこと。すこしづつ覚えていこう。そして７月のスピーチ大会で歌いましょう。「絶対に無理！」と言っていたけど７月までにはちゃんと歌えるようになるから心配しないように。そのかわりきちんと宿題はすること！

楽しみにしていますね。

Writing good plots... and touring Scotland!

Here are two links to videos I used in classes recently. The first (click here) is some homework for a budding author on how to write a novel with a strong plot. The second, less difficult, is a promotional video for Scotland, where another student hopes to go on holiday this summer. Enjoy it right here. Oh, if you liked that one, part two is here. Wish I had time to visit too.

How to write good stories

Here are two more videos that we've been looking at in class about how to write fiction. The first one here is about writing novels and the second one here is about writing short stories. Don't worry, both are quite short and quite entertaining. I love his pink shirt and red braces!
