今日、勉強したことは、

1) Group A Interview/dialogue

Homework is
1) Blog entry--- Reflection/ Answer the following questions. It is good to have honest opinions of yours BUT after going over your emotion, you will analyze your emotions by ④. Why you think so Do you have any way to solve the problems, etc.
        ①What do you do in the study group?
        ②What do you think the advantage of study group?

        ④ What can you do improve/solve the problems of ② and ③?
     
2) Work on the project. You will upload the video/PS on the leaders' blogs BY WEDNESDAY,2/26 before our class starts.

Questions today:
1) This project aims that you will have better understanding of the specific grammar. Every one of you has to participate to contribute to the project in order to achieve the goal. So...just filming the video is not enough to contribute on this project. You have to think about that and what ways you can contribute on the project.
2) なくす means to lose. You can use なくす for inanimate objects, eg.) さいふ、かばん、本.  BUT you CANNOT use for animate objects e.g.)犬、ねこ, etc. If you want to say "You lost a dog." ,　wrong sentence is 「犬がなくなりました。」 but correct one is 「犬がいなくなりました。」.  「いなくなりました」's dictionary form is いる(there is/are[short form]) →いない(there isn't/aren't [Short form])→いなくなる(become +いない[short form])→いなくなりました(いなくなる[long form Past tense])
