•Questions
1.Last week, our class is after the soccer match, "Japan vs Denmark", So, we talked about World Cup!! And, we taught the news of Wimbledon from you and Yuri. After the work, we worked on listening comprehension, and we made business travel phrases.

2. Yes, I did. I enjoyed talking about World Cup and Wimbledon! Listening work was a little difficult, but it was fun to think correct answers with my classmates.

3.Listening section was difficult for me, because I didn't understand these meanings, "At hotel", "Check-in", and so on.
And, I confused to divide the conversations
of listening into the situations 'At check-in' and 'At customs'. But, after the your interpretation, I could understand a little.

4.The story about "chip" was very useful! I didn't know how much should I pay. So, it was great time to hear that! If I go abroad somewhere, I want to use them.
And, I learned British English and American English. It was interesting for me that the expression between British and America is sometimes different. I could notice British and American English different not only their pronouce, but also their usage of words.
