My grade

This maybe is my last posting in this class. I have written about English study ways and I got a lot of phrases, knowledge and ways to study English.

Among all my posting, I like the article about Audrey Hepburn’s saying.

Her saying is

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others;

For beautiful lips, speak only word of kindness; and

For poise, walk for with the knowledge that you are never alone.

I like this word since I was a high school student, but when I wrote a article about her saying, I thought once again this phrase is beautiful.

Like this, I think language has a cheerful power. Both English and Japanese which is my mother tongue have each good point.

So I want to know more and more English. English is prevalent in all over the world. The skill of English makes it possible that I communicate with not only Japanese but foreigners.

So I thought that I wanted to find ways to get English skills through my blog.

But in this class, I couldn’t post 2 articles in a week. So if I give me grade, I will C to me.

But I learned a lot of useful tools of English so I try to use them.

I’m satisfied with this class.

Thank you for checking my blog.

American English and British English

As I have written on previous post, I’m going to England in March. I been to America once but I never been to England so I’m looking forward to go there.

But now I know that English have some types. For example, they are America and England English. I know the differences of them little so I searched the differences between American English and British English.

To day’s posting is about words.

English and American use different words.

	America	England
秋	Fall	Autumn
映画	Movie	Film
映画館	Movie theater	Cinema
クッキー	Cookie	Biscuit
ゴミ	Trash	Radish
名字	Last name	Surname

Like this, even if the words have same meaning, English and American use different words.

Next is about grammar.

This formative will be useful.

No, 2

Worm means insects. In Japanese, this phrase has some meanings. This is connected with waking up early.

Try guessing meanings of these phrases.

Interesting words

I found some Interesting English words. These phrases are used with some words have some different meanings so I confused when I read these words. Maybe you will be wondering what you are saying.

Look below.

No, 1 Can you can a can?

No, 2 She sells sea-shells on the seashore

No3 I never saw a saw saw a saw

You may understand No, 1 meaning but I was wondering No,3

Color's Expressions 2

Following the expressions which use green, let’s check some expressions which use “Pink.”

When you say “I’m really fine”, you can use an expression which uses pink.

You can say,

“I’m in the pink.”

This is useful. I want to try to use this when I am asked my feeling by someone.

Also do you know the expression, “pink slip”?

This meaning is same to the phrase “discharge and dismiss”

The image which I have to pink is cute and girlish but I don’t want to be used in this meaning of pink.  

Pink also has other meaning. I want to know more phrases and I want to try to use in real days.

Color's Expression 1

To day let’s study about expressions which use color. There is a lot of color, which do you like the best? I knew some using of expressions; I’ll introduce some phrases which use Green today.

For example, Green is used in the situation like following.

Situation 1

A: Take a look at him. He is staring at the couple.

B: He looks weird. He’s got a green eye.

In this situation, Green has meaning which similar to get jealous.

I don’t know why green has this meaning, but I think this phrase is useful.

Also you can use green like this.

Situation 2

A: I was given a new car by my father on my birthday.

B: Color me green!

 This meaning of green is same Jealous. So B is saying “I’m jealous” in another phrase.

This is also the expression which you use when you envy someone.

Green is not color expression but also has some meanings. These are helpful expressions
