Niimi English Salon's 142nd session (NIEA's English Lesson #2) was held on November 8.
Six of Niimi City ALTs (Andrew, Caroline, Donald, Elizabeth, Latasha, and Melissa)attended the session.
This time we practised how to talk about our hobbies.
Here is the model dialogue we used for this session.
At a party
Hitoshi: Jane, this is Takao Nishigata. He is from Niimi, Okayama. He studies
English. Takao, this is Jane Smith. She is from Melbourne, Australia. She
teaches English in Hiroshima now.
Takao: Nice to meet you, Jane.
Jane: Happy to meet you, Takao. Are you a student?
Takao: Yes, I am a college student. How long have you been in Japan?
Jane: I have been in Japan for two years now.
Takao: How do you like living in Japan?
Jane: I like visiting historic sites in Japan. I often visit old temples and shrines
on weekends. I also like reading about Japanese history.
Takao: Oh, you do. My hobbies are traveling and reading too. I also like going to
the movies…

After the practice, we mingled and ask around everybody's hobbies.
I do hope everybody enjoyed the lesson.
