Reflection 7

I did not go to class this Thursday so I learned the new grammar てもby myself but I do not think it is too difficult to seize the main idea about this grammar. It means something will happen even if another thing will happen and it is different from たら. Moreover, I learned まで in the class which means something happens till another thing will happen. Bascially, it is not hard to realize these two new grammar and apply into the real setting. My topic of the presentation will be Duanwu festival in China which not exits in Japan, and I will talk about the details, manners, customs of the festival.

Reflection 6

I learned causative passive sentences this week and basically it is the passive version of causative sentences. However, the grammar is kind of different from what Japanese usually use in Japan so I was confused at the moment. After doing workbook, I realized the usage of causative passive sentences but I'm confused a little bit about passive and causative passive pattern. In order to assure that I'm able to distinguish them clearly, I will practice more and try to use them in my articles.

Personally, to do handouts by meself is a good way to improve my critical thinking because I will think about issue which I didn't know before repeatedly. Then, I can try to solve the problems by myself which it turned out to be easily solved. And I actually learned more during the critical thinking process. However, it is hard to keep thinking like this all the time because sometime I will be tired of thinking, as well as it is better to be helped with teacher who knows more than me. 黑岩 亮太 comes from Hiroshima Shudo Univeristy and now he is 20 years old. Usually, he likes to listen to music but doesn't like K-Pop music which is really popular in Japan right now.

There was another Japanese student called 柿崎慶佑, and he's studying in Rikkyo University but he comes from Hokkaido. His major is law which surprised me when I heard it for the first time, and now he is sophomore in Japan. In his spare time, he likes to go fishing and snow board. Furthermore, I learned new grammar this week, the causative sentences and verb stem+なさい. The first one means someone let or make someone else to do something, and the second one means a command which is usually ordered by elders to students or children. I always heard Japanese people use causative sentences during speaking so I can remember this grammar easily, and I also drew the four-column manga which helps me practice this sentence pattern.

Reflection 3

There are some Japanese came to class and talk about themselves this week. Generally, I think Japanese young girls like Korean things better nowadays, and their purpose to come to the US is basically to experience the different culture and to practice their English. And for the newspaper, I think it is a new challenge to my Japanese skill because I have to combine different grammars to write an essay. However, I learned a lot of new stuff from doing this project, so that I think it is my greatest success this week.

Reflection 2

I learned the new grammar with the use of てある and間に. The first grammar is to describe the current situation that has been remained by purpose, and the subject is somebody who did this action. The second one demonstrates two events which happened during the duration. The most fun thing is to create our own script with my partner made in the video. The great success is that I remebered most of new vocabulay by using them in the class and homework. And the great challenge is to combine the new grammars that learned from last week and this week. I think I need to combine them together and make sentences or write essays frequently.
