David's Classes

Atsuya thought he might be getting a private lesson tonight, but Mitsu showed up a few minutes after the class started. We talked a lot about our weekends and wonder where Nao was in Spain. I should be getting a postcard from her by next week.

Atsuya was busy last week and didn't have time to do homework. Mitsu had done the homework, but forgot her textbook at home. We will check that homework next week. Tonight's lesson was about different types of TV shows and if people like them or not. It will be interesting to hear what type of shows the high school students like next week.

We ended up with 4 people tonight because Uro joined us from one of Joe's classes. He used to take my class, so it was nice to see him again. Susumu has been busy with several different trips. It sounds like he will be around for awhile.

There wasn't any homework to check so we jumped into the new lesson. In one part we talked about promises and did a reading about the ones that are commonly broken. There were a couple that seemed to be more common in North American than Japan.

The homework for next week is 3 b & c on page and Grammar Bank 3C on pages 130-131.

Even though the weather wasn't so great I had a wonderful time with my friends from Tokyo. On Friday we had a BBQ for lunch and luckily the tarp we set up kept off the rain. After lunch we drove out to Sennen-no-mori and while we were there walking around it didn't rain. On Saturday we walked around downtown and looked at two different photo exhibitions. That night we went out to dinner and enjoyed talking. Today they had to leave on the early flight because there weren't any seats for the later ones. At the airport I met Nao from the Step 1G class. She was on the way to Tokyo and tomorrow she will leave for Spain.

The weather forecast is for more rain this week and I am beginning to wonder if I will ever be able to get the lawn mowed. When I do mow it is going to be really difficult because the grass is getting really long.
