1.        I think that Net Academy is the best to learn English because I was able to study about my insufficient one from among a lot of options.  So we can learn variety English things on one site.  I like this point.  For example, I do not have an enough vocabulary so I studied by using Dojo and I was able to challenge the listening at a certain time, too.  Then I like to advance advanced stage because I able to review this stage.  It is a reason why I chose this site above.

2.        I think my listening skills and vocabulary is better in this semester.  Because I came to understand what the teacher said.  I can feel that my power developed in such a place.  Then I studied many vocabularies by Net Academy and I studied for exam.  So I feel that I was able to memorize many vocabularies.

6.        I learned how to use of an effective website of English because I didn’t know ELLLO and Living English and other websites!  And I did not think that I was able to study English by using the Internet.  So I think I was able to learn how to use it.  I think it is very important because I will keep using these websites and study it from now.

I’m so happy to have taken Intensive English class.  Thank you very much Jana and my friends.  

I will try to study English in the future.

a.    What did you study in class today?

I studied TOEIC by using Net Academy.  First, I take an exam and I review this result.  Maybe I studied it 45 min.  Second, I studied vocabulary by using Do-jo.  I studied vocabulary for a long time!  I studied it maybe 30 min.

b.    What your opinion of website?

I have not taken TOEIC so I don’t know method of study.  But If Net Academy is used, it is possible to study easily, I think.  It has a lot of comment about exam so I was able to study easily.  I like it.  And I don’t like Do-jo because I don’t like to learn vocabulary.  But I enjoy saving points! =)  I like it!

c.     What did you learn about English?

I learned problem form of TOEIC and I learned a lot of vocabularies.

d.    What did you learn about your study skills and strategies?

I always say Net Academy is good because there are so many courses!  We can choose own course, so I love it.  And ello is good website.  Listening speed is so natural, so we can learn natural speed and there are so many topics.  Finally, Jana taught me about this grammar site.  I like it because I sometimes forget about it. So I thought I must study it.  Now I can study grammar by using this site.

First, I study about reading because I’m not good at reading and dislike it.  So I opened NetAcademy, then I chose level3.  The title of it is “prejudice against HIV”.  And I advanced Advance stage.  It is difficult for me, but I like it.  I typed sentences and memorized vocabulary etc…  I probably studied 20 to 30 minutes.  Sorry, my memory is not certain.  Second, I opened Ferris Online and I chose English Bites.  I studied by using this website for the first time.  This website can study listening.  I listened about Australia’s news.  The title is “Bridge climb” and “Mardi Gras”.  I studied about 25 minutes.

I learned new vocabularies.  And I acquired the speed reading power.

Hey guys.  Last Sunday, I went to Lake town in Saitama with my friends.  Do you know it?  It’s a very big shopping mall.  And I went to ABC cooking studio, I bake a cake.  It looks great and I presented for my parents.  My dad said “Yummy! We needn’t buy cakes by shop.” all the time. J haha  So I had a great weekend. What about you?

I studied various things by using NetAcademy and Living English.  I studied on NetAcademy after a long time because I studied on Living English recently.  So, today I studied Net Academy about 50 minutes and Living English 20 minutes.  On NetAcademy, I studied about vocabulary and listening.  Title of the listening is “Small travel to dune”.  It is written about Tottori dune.  So I studied it completely, then I advanced advance stage.  And on Living English, I listened episode 40-42.  42 is final episode.  So I finished this website.

b.    What your opinion of website?

First, Netacademy is good.  We can study what is appropriate for own level.  Forexample, I think I’m good at listening but I’m not good at about vocablary.  So each level is different.  In this respect, I like it.  And advance stage is interesting!  I like it.  We can learn again, and this typing game is fun.  Next is Living English.  I love it because it’s about human drama.  So I was able to study while enjoying it.

c.     What did you learn about English?

I studied a lot of vocabularies on both website and listening skills and grammar, correct spelling.  And about conversations.

d.    What did you learn about your study skills and strategies?
