夏の読書おすすめリスト
Summer is here and so many of our students are having a great time spending it with family and friends.
夏がやってきましたね。たくさんの生徒たちが家族や友達と楽しい時間を過ごしているようです。
One of the troubles they sometimes have is keeping up with their English skills. Our most successful students usually find books they enjoy reading. Because they enjoy the book they learn and develop vocabulary and grammar, not to mention communication skills. When they finish one book they are hungry for more, so it’s a great idea to have a few books for them.
時々彼らが抱える悩みの一つは、英語のスキルを保つことです。成功を収めている生徒たちの多くは、楽しんで読める本を見つけることができます。本を楽しむことで、語彙や文法はもちろん、コミュニケーションスキルも向上させることができます。一冊の本を読み終えた後は、さらなる成長を求めているので、彼らのためにいくつかの本を用意するのは素晴らしいアイデアです。
