English language school in the heart of the Japanese Alps, and English language learners sharing their experiences online. Teachers post regular items about teaching, learning tools, events in the school, their day to day experiences living & working in a foreign country. Students post on whatever takes their fancy - book reports, festivals in home towns, postcards from business trips etc. A little Brit of England in the guts of Japan!
Kanako & Takeshi's writing project for June was to email a hotel to confirm a reservation.

Subject Reservation for March
Dear Sir Madam,
I would like to make a reservation for a double room for two nights, 25 and 26 March.
I would like a room with a view of the lagoon. Could you tell me about using terrace? What foods we can buy? Is there a freezer in the room?
Please confirm the reservation
Yours sincerely
Kanako
As it is very difficult for many of us to travel abroad, we used our imagination. I asked Takeshi and Kanako to listen to this song and draw a scene of what came into their heads. I then asked them to pretend that they were on holiday there and to write a postcard as their homework task. In a time where we can't send/receive postcards, this is probably the next best thing!
Dear Nancy and family,
Hi! How are you? I'm looking forward to you coming to Japan. I maked a plan your trip.
On Tuesday, we're going to go the Tokyo Disney land, and the hot spa in Tokyo. On Thursday and Friday, we're going to Kyoto. After that, we're going to Osaka. In Osaka, we're going to the Universal Studios Japan.
Summer in Japan is hot and humid. Please be careful of heat stroke. I think that you should have some water diligently. To Kyoto from Tokyo take about three hours. Because you'll have better childrens toy to play in bullet train.
I'm going to do recommend nice some Japanese foods. I bet you'll love it.
If you have some questions, feel free to ask me anytime.
See you!

Bohemian Rhapsody
Biographical Drama
Bohemian Rhapsody is about a vocalist Freddie Mercury of the rock band Queen. The film is based on a true story. The film is set in England and starts in 1970. It tells the history of Queen and social issues by Freddie's sexuality.
I love the music the music in this film. I was able to know famous Queen's repertories. Rami Malek stars as Freddie. My favourite character is Mary Austin because she is a kind and strong woman. She fell in love with Freddie and was betrayed by him. But she supports him throughout life.
I think this is an ideal film for people who like a western music and have formed a and.
You can listen to Queen's wonderful music and will be an opportunity to think about social issues. I give Bohemian Rhapsody 4 stars.
