"Hi everyone!"


Here is our schedule for this evening:

1. Open Skype, call two other students, and say "Hi!" Then try a short text chat with one of them -- in English, of course!
2. In your My Documents folder, open the Touchstone 2 folder, then double-click on the blue Touchstone2 icon. Watch the teacher's demo, then put on your headset and try recording your own voice in a conversation. It's amazing!
   
3. Alone or with a partner, look at the picture carefully. Then answer the following questions:

1. What are the names of these people?
2. What is their relationship (関係)?
3. How old are they?
4. Where are they from?
5. Where are they now?
6. What is the building they are standing in front of?
7. Why have they come here?
8. What are their jobs?
9. What do they do in their free time?

We don't know the real facts, so try these "starters" in your answers:

• I think...(they are brother and sister, etc.)
  
• I guess...(they are from Canada)
  
• I suppose...(they play golf in their free time)
  

Then, put all of your answers into one paragraph to make a story, and post it to your blog. Be creative, and have fun!
