Snow in Onoda 雪小野田で

Global warming is a myth...

I thought my teachers were winding me up when they said there were severe snow storms on the way. Turns out they werent wrong. It was beautiful, but didnt last long enough. 170 students phoned Onoda High School because they couldnt make it... the poor students that did turn up still had to attend lessons tho. Some of the teachers also couldnt make it, but you have to give credit to one teacher who walked an hour from her house in the next town because the train was running late and the roads were icy.

It was fun whilst it lasted.

Preparation for University Entrance Examinations

The students have been asked to translate some text written in Japanese in preparation for the entrance exams into university. How do you begin to correct English like this?

'I feel I dont even know something I like. If I go to a society and posh for work, I become parts of something moving society without notice and lose my own. If I lose myself, living is useless.' (anon student)

I'm certainly not knocking this student. He/she did the best they could given the difficulty of the task. It frustrates me immensely when students cant hold a simple conversation in English and yet are expected to think and express opinions at this level.

WANTED... DONT APPROACH THIS MAN

チョーコお誕生日おめでとうございます!
