Yasuho Eng 2

The teacher greets the student and discusses the previous lesson. They then talk about responsibilities and past tense. They practice using past tense for irregular verbs and do an activity called A++. They read a passage about Mike's responsibilities and fill in the blanks. They then do a speaking activity about their own past jobs. The teacher provides feedback and the class ends with reviewing the goals and assigning homework. Good morning. How are you today? Good, good. My name is Mia. Nice to meet you. Okay. Thank you for coming to class. Mm-hmm. So, Yasuo, it looks like you are in the level 2 English textbook and today we are doing unit 9. Now, last class you had a lesson. Do you remember? What did you learn? Excellent. Okay. So, what is your boss responsible for? Oh. Okay. So, okay. Very good. How about your boss? Mm-hmm. And what is he in charge of? My boss is in charge of... Excellent. Very good memory. Okay. Yasuo, do you have any questions from last class? Do you have any questions about homework? Okay. Then let's move on to today's class. Today we are going to do unit 9 and we are going to talk your responsibilities, but our focus is past tense. Okay. So, you have two choices for goal. First choice is talking about your responsibilities in a previous job, old job. Or option 2, talking about my responsibilities last week. Option 1 or 2? Okay. Okay. So, let me write in the chat here. Okay. Can you read the goal, please? Okay. Is this goal okay? Okay. Let's begin. I will share my textbook. Okay. Can you see this? Great. Let's look at warm up. So, let me see. I'm going to write in the chat. Do you know this word? I wrote it in the chat box. Mm-hmm. Uh-huh. Mm-hmm. Exactly. They are all action words. Great examples. Now, I want you to think of four or five action words you do every day. Okay. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Uh-huh. Perfect. Easy peasy. Very good. I want to see, maybe to make it a little more difficult, I want you to add another word. Every day I watch TV. I read a book. Okay. Let's do it one more time. What do you do every day? Mm-hmm. Okay. Mm-hmm. Very good. Nice job. Okay. So, now we are going to talk about past tense. So, as you know, let's say the word see. Okay. Now, I see. What do you see right now? Good. How about yesterday? What did you see? Very good. Yesterday, I saw my textbook. Excellent. So, as you know, some words like talk, if you add ed, it's past tense. But some words like see, you cannot add ed. This is an irregular verb. Today, we are going to practice past tense for irregular verbs. Okay. So, look at the textbook. Let's start with the first one. Can you read it? Good. Next. Very good. Mm-hmm. No change. Right. Next. Uh-huh. Yes. Good correction. Next one. Mm-hmm. Yep. Uh-huh. Yes. Brilliant. Next. Uh-huh. Good. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Last one. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Very good. Yesterday, you did read your textbook, and you studied this very well. All right. So, now I want us to do a little practice. We are going to do, have you heard of A++? This, yeah. So, this means ask, answer, and add. So, this is an activity. Mm-hmm. So, I will ask you a question. You will answer the question, add a little more detail, and then you're going to ask me a question, back and forth. Yes. We will ask questions, past tense questions. For example, let's see. Here it is. What did you eat yesterday? Mm-hmm. Good. Now, add detail. One more sentence. Mm-hmm. That's good. So, you said, I ate stew yesterday. I ate at home. Good. Good detail. Now, ask me a question. What did I read? Excellent. Good. Yes. Yesterday, I read the news on my phone. There was a car accident in my neighborhood. Mm-hmm. Let's see. Okay. Yasuho, what did you write at work yesterday? Mm-hmm. Huh. Yesterday, I bought a sandwich at the grocery store. I bought it at a store near my job. Okay. Very good. Now, I want to practice. I want to practice asking. I want a go. Okay. So, Yasuho, I want you to think about your phone. When did you buy your phone? 2010? 2020? Okay. Good. Yes. So, we're going to practice using a go. Practice asking how long ago. Okay. So, can you ask me a question using how long ago? How long? How long ago did you? Oh. I moved to Japan. Let's see. 2017. I moved to Japan seven years ago, but I moved to Canada three years ago. I am currently in Canada. Good question. Okay. How long ago did you speak to your boss? Hmm? Okay. Ah. Mm-hmm. Very good. Okay. Let's stop here. Any questions? Okay. Very good. I want to read about Mike. Mike Larson and his responsibilities. As you're reading, I want you to fill in the blank. Okay. So, first, can you read the words? Can you read these? Can you read these? Good. Let's begin. Start with on. Hmm. Okay. Instead of spoke, there is another word. So, the expression is give an update. Okay. Good, Gabe. Hmm. Hmm. Okay. Good. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Mm-hmm. Close. There's another word. What's another good word choice? What do you do at the end of a meal? Mm-hmm. After you finish eating, what's next? Before you leave? Mm-hmm. Perfect. Good job. Nice guessing. Okay. So, let's talk about it. What department is Mike Larson in? Oh, wait. Maybe. Yes. Actually, it doesn't say. I'm sorry. What is Mike responsible for? What do you think? Mm-hmm. Right. He manages about or you can say he manages production costs and new manufacturing schedules. Okay. Good. Okay. What did Mike do yesterday? Good. And did Mike go on a business trip with his marketing team? Mm-hmm. Where? He went. Good. After the manager gave a presentation, where did they go after? Mm-hmm. They went at the plaza restaurant? Mm-hmm. At or they went. Yes. Very good. They went to the restaurant. They went to the train station. Okay. Very nice. Now, because of time, I am going to skip this. You can finish for homework. This is about Diane's first job. You can read and answer questions. And now, I want to move on to performance. So, I want you to imagine you are talking about your old job. I want you to give me three responsibilities from 10 years ago. Okay. I want you to think about it and pretend I am your new boss. Okay. All right. So, hmm. Uh-huh. Okay. So, 10 years ago, did you work at the same company? Mm-hmm. How long ago did you start working as a software engineer? Uh-huh. Okay. Did you work as a software manager? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Sorry? You worked as a software programmer 15 years old? Ago. Okay. Did you give presentations in English? Sure. Did you give presentations in English? Mm-hmm. Okay. All right. And did you have a team? I see. Okay. Thank you very much. All right. Let's stop here. Okay. That was good back and forth. I asked you questions. You answered in past tense. That was very good. You always gave me more details, and that was excellent. No short answers. You tried to give me as much detail as you can, and I want you to keep that up. That was very good. All right. So, I think for the most part, you did very well. Your self-correction is pretty good. For example, you said, we produced, we producted, we produced. You were able to change it. Sometimes there were some sentences that you were unsure. For example, let's look at this sentence. Can you read it? Mm-hmm. So, which one? Manager or management? Good. Yeah. If you want to use management, how do you say it? I worked as, or I worked in, which one? Mm-hmm. Yes. I worked in, in for structure, management. Right. Mm-hmm. Exactly. Good. As, as in job. In, as in that's your area, that's your department, your specialty. Good, good, good. One more sentence. I want you to look at it and see how we can change it to make it more natural. Okay. Okay. So, I have, you have, he has, he, did he have, he has, right? Mm-hmm. So, again, our team have, good, good, good. He has four members. Very good. Okay. Let's try it one more time. Let's see. Let's try it one more time. Let's talk about your job 10 years ago. I want you to think of two different responsibilities you had. And you, if you need to, you can look at some of these verbs. Maybe you went on business trips. Maybe you had to read. You had to teach. You had to send. Maybe you had to buy things. Maybe you had to drive somewhere. Okay. So, let's try again. So, Yasuho, tell me about your job 10 years ago. So, so, oh, sorry. What did you buy? Uh-huh. Okay. And how, how many times did you use the printer? Mm-hmm. Was it expensive? Wow. That's a big number. Mm-hmm. Okay. What else, what else were you responsible for 10 years ago? Or what else did you do? Okay. Uh-huh. So, oh, yes, yes, like equipment. Uh-huh. So, you planned your network equipment. You planned, you mean, you planned on purchasing or preparing them? Uh-huh. Okay. Okay. So, you can have it in stock. Okay. To use or to sell? I see. Okay. Interesting. All right. Very good. Mm-hmm. Did you ever travel? Did you go anywhere 10 years ago for work? Oh, my gosh. Gosh. I see. Where did you travel? Oh, okay. Any other offices? Or did you, did you visit outside the country? Clients? Okay. I see. So, you stayed in Japan or outside of Japan? I see. I see. Okay. Thank you very much. All right. Very good. You were able to talk about some new responsibilities, and you stayed within the past tense. So, that was good. Again, great details. And when you didn't know the answer, you were able to ask, I'm sorry. So, that was all good. Let's see. There was, there was one sentence I want to look at quickly. Can you read it? Mm-hmm. So, I asked, mm-hmm. Okay. Remember, I asked you in past tense, did you travel for work? How can we answer in past tense? Okay. All right. Good. So, we are out of time. So, I have to end here. But do you have any questions in today's class? Okay. You got a lot of practice. Excellent participation. I'm very pleased. I'm going to close the book. Let's look at the goal one more time. Can you read the goal? Yes. Excellent. Very good. Did we do this today? Nice job. I'm very pleased. I thought you did a really good job. You speak with lots of detail, and I think your knowledge of past tense is already very good. So, keep it up. What's one thing you learned today? Can you tell me something you learned in this class or practiced in this class? All right. Very good. Nice. All right. So, for review, just please do the digital online homework, okay? And, oh, sorry, just do the reading and the answering questions activity about the swim teacher, okay? All right. Do you need to save the chat before we close? Okay. I'll have you do that. Okay, good. Let's close for now, and then I will join you in the next class. Okay. See you later, Yasuko. Thank you.
