********************
Have you ever looked at the Sunday newspaper and thought that there was less news than on the other days of the week? I sometimes feel that way. The headlines on the front page seem smaller, and the news seems less important. Maybe there are fewer news reporters working on the weekend. Or maybe people are thinking about religion and don’t do anything bad. After all, in Islam people go to the mosque on Fridays, Jewish people go to their temples on Saturday, and Christians go to church on Sunday. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)

2014年3月19日「モバイル英語学習」第235号(エッセイ ): Gathering With High School Students

Notes:
gathering 集まり;
reminisce 追憶する,思い出を語る;
*********************
I went to “Sunlake” in the Hirata Area to talk with high school students. It was a communication project between high school students and university students. At the gathering, the high school students had a chance to think about their future, and we university students shared our experiences of high school life, talked about how to pass the entrance exam, and described the club activities that we have at the university. I asked the high school students to think about what they really want to be or want to do at university. It was difficult to advise them about their future, but it was a very good experience for me to reminisce about my dreams and to talk with them. I want to take part in this program again. I hope I can give them better advice next time!  (written by student Miss Iwata, edited by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
