  1. Hello. I tried to send an e-mail. But I can’t send it. I can’t understand reason. Then I will try to send it again.

    When I took your class in second year student,I didn’t understand Narnia’s story. This is because I didn’t read neatly. So I try to read neatly and when I find words I don’t know, I try to look up by dictionary and internet and so on.

    It’s pleasure to meet you. Thank you.

  2. I always enjoy your class. Thank you.
    I like watching movies. My favorite movie is Harry Potter. Becasue I really like the worldview of this movie.
