Dear Koji,

Your blog is looking good. It is great to hear about your experiences and challenges at Elmira. Today I would like you to try out a new website. This site is called Real English.

http://www.real-english.com/new-lessons.asp

Start with lesson 1
Try watching the video without subtitles
Scroll down and do the activities on the right of the website.
Some of the activities you can't do because you do not have a recorder. Do the best you can.
Then you can watch the video again with subtitles.
