Ongoing English



 What I wanted to design in Ongoing English was a good way to write and recode what I talked about at dinner with my homestay family. I often talk with my homestay family, so I thought it would be good to summarize what we talked about. Writing and recoding will help me improve both skills, and talking with my homestay family will help me improve my speaking skills.

I think it is also a good idea to talk and write about Japanese people living in Australia.

Have I made any comments/suggestions?

 He said we need specific examples of speaking time.

What input will you use (name it/them)?

 Talk with the homestay family for an hour after dinner

When, where, how long, how often?

 Every day, 1 hour

What exactly will you do?

 Talking with the host family about the classes you had today and hobbies, e.g., F1

Why would you enjoy doing this?

 Have fun talking about it.

Who will you follow e.g. on YouTube?

 Japanese in Australia and English youtuber

How will you utilize SS7 material?

 Speak English fluently

NEW Inventions

John J. Loud, an American, received the first patent for a ballpoint pen in 1888. However, it was not commercially successful and eventually his patent expired. László Bíró, a lawyer and occasional inventor from Hungary, wanted a pen that could write on rough materials as well as paper. He made significant improvements to the design and invented a practical ballpoint pen, which appeared in 1943. Bíró's frustration with fountain pens, which required constant refilling and often caused smudges, led him to create a pen using fast-drying ink similar to newsprint ink, which wouldn't flow from a normal pen nib. Helped by his brother Georg, Bíró devised a roller-ball tip with a tiny ball-bearing that would roll over the paper surface, picking up ink from the ink cartridge inside and applying it to the paper on the outside. While on holiday, the Bíró brothers met an amiable old man who suggested they try to market the pen in Argentina. The RAF had meanwhile taken up their idea because ...
