Question What will Tom say to Kathy?

Hello, everyone. Before starting English class, let’s talk about last weekend. Did you have a good weekend? I had a good weekend, so let me tell you about it. Last Sunday I went to Kobaton Park with my family because the weather was nice. We go there twice a month. It’s one of the largest parks in my town. There are many things you can enjoy.

First, I played badminton with my children. The park has a large space to play sports. After that we had lunch under the cherry blossoms. They were beautiful and the sandwiches my children made were so good. After lunch we enjoyed cycling around the park. Spending time at the park on weekends helps me relax. Okay, now I want you to make pairs and talk about last weekend in English.

I’ll give you a few minutes. If you have any questions, please ask me. Are you ready?

Question３ Which is true about Miss Brown’s story.

Alice, look at these pictures. I took them when I traveled to the US last summer.

Wow, you took so many. Wait, who is this man? Tomoki?

He’s my American friend, David. When I was on the bus in San Francisco, he was standing next to me and said with a smile. Konnichiwa. Then we started talking to each other in English until I got off the bus.

Did you enjoy talking with him?

Yes. We talked about our hobbies and hometown.

That’s good.

Actually, I have an interesting story.

Oh, what is it?

The next day, I went to the airport in San Francisco to go back to Japan, and I saw him there. I was really surprised to see him again. He said, when you get a chance to visit the US again, you can come and see me. Then he gave me his email address.

Wow.

I’ve kept in touch with him since then. I sent him an email once a week.

You had a wonderful experience in the US. Konnichiwa. Created a friendship between you and him.
